most Trump supporters expected on election day, but they were misled and made the awful mistake of voting for a man they knew to be a crook and a liar. Too bad, and now that Trump is president and has both houses, the American oligarchs have taken over. It’s a shame, and

the federal government. That is an enormous conflict of interest.

Our government of the people, for the people, and by the people has been pushed aside and has become the government of the wealthy, for the wealthy, and by the wealthy. I’m certain that this is not the result that

Elon Musk's company avoided almost all federal income tax on nearly $11 billion of U.S. income over three years. It speaks loudly that the richest man in the world is avoiding taxes and is currently busy firing thousands of loyal federal employees while his companies receive billions from

Trump, through his new DOGE, is making unilateral decisions without any proposals to Congress. Trump’s use of special reorganizational authority is highly questionable and likely illegal because the authority is not being used in a time of war, or to create agencies or new

reorganizational acts for things like creating new federal agencies, making changes to the high court, addressing Indian affairs and such, but never to gut the federal government or close down federal agencies or departments without addressing Congress.

The point is that Congress passed the Reorganizing Government Act of 2025 in February, giving Trump special authority to propose restructuring changes, and created the department of government efficiency (DOGE). Historically, presidents have used

Whether you believe that America’s fall is due to Trump being a Russian operative, or that America is simply suffering the unfortunate rise into power by the richest of men, either way, this is distraction content and not the point.
