In his first two weeks, President Donald Trump has had many accomplishments.
1) He has become a great recruiter for ISIS with his immigration policy. There have been zero terrorist attacks from the seven banned countries. He turned away people who risked their lives to help the U.S.
2) He fired an acting attorney general for doing her job, telling him a policy is unconstitutional. One step toward fascism is having only people who agree with you in government.
3) Another step to fascism is making the news media irrelevant by saying everything they do is fake.
4) He believes the truth doesn’t matter because he and his staff tell lies or, as they call them, alternative facts.
5) The National Security Council is supposed to be nonpartisan and give him its best advice for a situation. He has appointed a neocon, Steve Bannon, to it.
6) He discredits the democratic voting system by claiming 3 million to 5 million people voted illegally. He provides no evidence.
7) He insults U.S. allies. Do you know how arrogant you have to be to make Australia mad? Yet, he praises Vladimir Putin as a great leader.
8) He and Republicans have no problem letting coal companies pollute the nation’s streams and rivers.
9) They have no problem doing away with a regulation saying financial advisers have to put the best interest of their clients ahead of their own.
10) He has relinquished America’s status as the world leader in trade to China.
This narcissistic bully may soon be leading the U.S. into another war.
