Trump 2.0

Trump is back. It's Trump 2.0 and he has a mission. What's changed about him? Why is he 2.0? He is determined to do what he wants to do. In some ways, he resembles Hitler. Hitler removed Jewish corporate owners from German corporations. Trump removes illegal immigrants from jobs in the United States. Hitler moved very fast in his war against Europe, appearing to negotiate with one country after another. Trump negotiates tariffs with one country after another at a breakneck speed. Hitler was a dictator. Trump is the closest thing to a dictator. Of course Hitler did a lot worse things that Trump did, but, as I said, there are some similarities.

First of all, Trump 2.0 is more narcissistic than Trump 1.0. He is more assured of himself. The only things blocking him from doing what he wants to do is the judicial system. Even then, the judicial system yields in appeals court. The press says lots of bad things about him, but he has not shut down the press or gotten rid of the press altogether. He sees that the populists who elected him no longer listens to the press which is dominated by East Coast elite liberals. His narcissism feeds his aggression which is frustrated when he doesn't get what he wants and what he wants to do is shape the world in his image. Then, there is scapegoating. Everything that blocks his vision of the world from becoming real is the enemy, is evil, is a conspiracy, is a neurosis of the liberal mind.

It's not hard to imagine the kind of world that Trump is creating. Tariffs are a tax on every US citizen. They are not neccessarily a bad thing since the US debt is at $37,000,000,000,000. The Center for Strategic and International Studies estimated that the Trump tariffs would bring in $200,000,000,000 a year. Trump also cut taxes above the board and that will cost us $4,500,000,000,000 from 2025-2034. Anyone doing the math will see that these actions will not reduce the federal debt at all, In fact, it will be increased. So, Hispanic workers being kicked out of the United States, the new tariffs being imposed on foreign countries, and the increase in the national debt will cause more inflation for the United States. Various measures to help out the poor have been cut from Medicaid and other programs. Money is simply not what it used to be. Donald Trump is creating a world in which the rich are getting richer and the MIddle Class is disappearing.
