Trump's first term: a con job with receipts

Promised manufacturing, wages, fixed trade deals, carried interest loophole, small farm help. Delivered: tax cuts for Bezos, deregulation for donors, Big Ag giveaways. His agencies were a lobbyist shopping list. Interior Secretary (oil & gas), Defense (Raytheon), EPA (coal), HHS (pharma), Labor (corporate lawyer). The Bush wing ran the whole thing. $28 billion in farmer aid? Went to agriculture conglomerates, not struggling farmers. On everything else: inflamed racial tensions while cities burned. Walked away from the nuclear missile treaty with Russia. Appointed Bolton, McMaster, O'Brien, and now Lindsey Graham is in line for State. Bombed Syria, killed Soleimani, still didn't end Afghanistan. Lockdowns "invented" by him. Shut down small businesses while billionaires got richer. Did nothing on opioids while pharma appointees pocketed money. If you think round two changes anything, you're not paying attention.
