I would like to address this letter to MAGA/Trump supporters. Here are some things Trump said he was going to do: rebalance the scales of justice, bring back peace and prosperity, make MLK’s dream come true, drill baby drill, support free speech, not allow political retribution, bring back manufacturing, and make government more efficient.
Now let’s look at what has really happened. He is using the Department of Justice as his personal law firm. Do you call what ICE is doing peaceful? Have you heard of any new oil drilling? Trump is encouraging his friends to buy news outlets to control what we hear. Trump is suing everyone who disagrees with him. The United States has lost manufacturing jobs since he took office.
Now let’s talk about efficiency. As has been reported, Pete Hegseth spent $16 million on rib-eyes and $9 million on lobster tails in February. Kristi Noem spent $270 million on an ad campaign and was flying in a $70 million airplane with bedrooms, showers and a bar – which she said would also be used to transport undocumented immigrants.
Kash Patel reportedly used an FBI airplane to fly his girlfriend and friends to Las Vegas and is spending tax dollars on a security detail to protect her. And Trump flies nearly every weekend to one of his resorts to play golf.
