Don’t be fooled by Trump

Donald Trump is a “trumper.” He wants a higher rank than the rest of us. His name is perfect for him. He believes he is better than the best, no matter who you are. He is mad with power and trying to conquer everyone and everything. He is not looking out for us – he wants to be king.

One thing he won’t do is share his wealth with us. He would like us to imagine that we will become better off with him as president. Many Americans are desperate for hope and they are grabbing at a false hope. Trump doesn’t have a magic wand that will put food on our plates, pay our bills or get us better jobs.

Long enslaved people throughout history have grown to love the limitations of their masters because they wanted someone to think for them.

There are many Trumpites who aren’t thinking clearly and it is scary.
