State of Bullsh*t Address: 2018
TRUMP:
"We enacted the biggest tax cuts and reform in American history."
THE FACTS:
No truer now than in the countless other times he has said the same - The
December tax overhaul ranks behind Ronald Reagan's in the early 1980s,
post-World War II tax cuts and at least several more.
TRUMP:
"After years and years of wage stagnation, we are finally seeing rising
wages."
THE FACTS:
Actually, they are not rising any faster than they have before. Average hourly
pay rose 2.5 percent in 2017, slightly slower than the 2.9 percent increase
recorded in 2016 under President Barack Obama.
TRUMP:
"For decades, open borders have allowed drugs and gangs to pour into our
most vulnerable communities."
THE FACTS:
Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama doubled the ranks of Border Patrol.
Bush extended fencing to cover one-third of the border. Obama deported over 2
million, more than in previous administrations.
TRUMP:
"We repealed the core of the disastrous Obamacare — the individual mandate
is now gone."
THE FACTS:
No, it's not gone. It's going, in 2019. People who go without insurance this year
are still subject to fines.Monday, January 29, 2018

DACA Kids Will Really Pay for Trump’s Great Wall
Trump wants
a 25 Billion Dollar Trust Fund for his “Great Trump Wall” in Exchange for a “Deal”
on DACA Kids.
Breaking down
the Numbers on Trump’s “Great Wall” and the DACA kids
Trump’ wants
a 25 Billion Dollar “Great Wall” Trust Fund in Exchange for a decade-long “Path” to citizenship for DACA kids.
Wall vs. DACA Kid $ ratio - 1.8 million DACA Kids x $14,000 = Twenty-five
Billion Two Hundred Thousand.
A 2017
report by the Institute of Taxation and Economic Policy found that 1.3 million
undocumented immigrants in the United States enrolled in, or eligible for DACA,
contributed more than $11.74 Billion a year in state and local taxes. That equals
out to $117.4 Billion over the decade that Trump proposes for a pathway to
citizenship.
Repealing
the temporary legal status and work authorizations permitted under DACA
would reduce estimated state and local revenues by nearly $800 million per
year.
So In
reality, if a deal is finally made which also passes both the House and Senate,
DACA Kids will really be the ones paying for Trump’s “Great Wall” several times
over!

American Apathy in Exchange for Gold
New American Capitalist Boss – Same as the Old Capitalistic Boss
All of Trump’s supporters tout his economic strengths and how the booming economy is the main reason they still support him, regardless if they don’t agree with his derogatory racial remarks, or that they wish he would stop his reckless tweets, or regardless if they think he is a womanizer or a downright lier – Meaning their capitalistic greed and self-centered ideologies will keep them in-sync and voting for Trumpists as long as they are paid to! This is why I am a Democratic Socialist – Because you have to Earn My Vote Not Buy It!The American Holocaust
The American Holocaust
No citizen in the United States wants to remember or acknowledge
the Native American Holocaust – Simply because they would then have to take some
personal responsibility in some way for it. Not because of their race or
heritage – but simply because they’re still active participants in the
perpetual ripping off of the Native American people by their support of the blind
political eye in Washington DC to the ongoing plight of Native American tribes
still living in abject poverty on reservations across the nation. Wrongly assuming
through the convenient and permeating stereotyping that Indians are all rich now
due to their casinos and fully compensated somehow for the stealing of a continent
by the American government. - BTA

The Trumpist I'm Not Racist - You're Racist Spin-off
"No, no, I'm not a racist," Trump told reporters.
"I am the least racist person you have ever interviewed. That I can tell
you."
Haitian immigrants "all have AIDS". - DT “They are not our friend, believe me,” he
said, before disparaging Mexican immigrants: “They're bringing drugs. They're
bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” - DT
Once they had seen the United States, they would never “go back to their huts”
in Africa - DT “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come
here, why can't we have more people from countries like Norway?"- DT.

Buying U.S. Citizenship like it’s For-Sale at Costco
So what if other countries are poor - Is the American dream being a millionaire from another country who buys U.S. citizenship like it’s for sale at Costco - Trumpism is what’s really killing the American dream and replacing it with greed and exclusionism, as well as corrupting our American ideology that once defined us as a nation of immigrants – BTA
