It’s hard to believe, but in-between the stories about Russia and Trumpcare, there is even more horrible news just under the radar,comrade. In keeping with his policy to take from the poor to give to himself, Trump proposes slashing the HUD budget by $6.2 Billion! This means cuts to homeless shelters and housing for the poor – for all but ONE program, which benefits him. Trump will cut housing aid for tenants – but not for landlords. Interesting side note: Trump owns one of the largest subsidized housing developments in America, raking in Millions! Presidents used to abide by a quaint olde rule….For instance, Jimmy Carter gave up his peanut farm to avoid – here it comes, conflict of interest!
Poor folks can take heart in knowing that Trump doesn’t give a fig about anyone else either! Six experts on Trump’s HIV/AIDS advisory council quit because of Trump’s complete lack of interest in the disease. Oh! Perhaps you remember when Trump said he’d ‘been through Viet Nam’ because he’d survived the eighties without getting a disease like AIDS.Gosh I feel silly for implying that Trump lacks empathy or understanding for AIDS/HIV sufferers and soldiers alike. I know they join me in hoping Donnie’s bone spur has cleared up…If he can remember which foot it was – yet.
Speaking of veterans, Susie posted this on the 25th, and had no way of knowing that Trump would announce that the U.S. Military will no longer allow transgender soldiers to serve.Trump claims transgender soldiers are too expensive. So says the man who could support a platoon of transgender soldiers and their families for decades, with only the cost of one golf weekend.
Finally, Trump’s penchant for appointing the wrong person for the wrong job continues, with the appointment of wedding planner and 6-year Trump family promoter Lynn Patton, to oversee the nation’s largest housing authority. Matching the right napkins and flowers will be a YUGE asset in the job. Of course it does sound mighty cozy, and like just the right arrangement for Donald Trump.
