More than 100 nations were poised last month to approve a historic deal to slash pollution from cargo ships. That’s when the United States launched a pressure campaign that officials around the world have called extraordinary, even by the standards of the Trump administration

Many in Trump’s administration now live on military bases, to shield themselves from the majority of Americans they are screwing over in favor of the oligarchs.
Many Republicans won’t do town halls.
They avoid the citizenry because they’ve stopped serving them.
We deserve much better.

Trump the scammer has and is ripping America for all it can offer
Trump has attended his second extravagant party at Mar-a-Lago in a week as tens of thousands of federal employees go without pay, leaving some of them, and many more Americans, to turn to food banks amid the longest government shutdown in history.
Trump gorges while Americans starve.

If you step back and look, trump simply decided NOT to fund the SNAP program, which feeds millions of kids, seniors, and ENLISTED FAMILIES, just because he's a sadistic fucking asshole, and 219 gop Representatives and 53 gop Senators just...go along with it.
They're doing the same with the ACA.
