Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

I’m watching Trump on TV stating that genocide of white farmers in South Africa is happening now as he sits with the president of South Africa. How embarrassing! It’s bad enough that he is gas lighting the American people, but now he is blatantly doing it in front of world leaders. Even when the white South African minister of agriculture, who is in the room, denies that Trump’s allegations are true. Not good enough for Trump, his lies are truth no matter the evidence to the contrary.

This outrage is just another indicator that Trump and his followers (sheep) are pushing for a country that is white, heterosexual, Christian Nationalist and led by men only.

With a Fuhrer, dictator, tyrant, strongman, despot telling us what we are allowed to think, say and do with the threat of being confronted on the street by masked men who will haul you off to jail without due process.

Exaggeration? Fear mongering? I don’t think so. If I or anyone else had warned of what our country would experience in the first 100-plus days we would have been scoffed at! Trump and his cohorts have opened the door to nightmares becoming reality. Not just for certain groups but for all of us.
