Friend,
Trump’s been in office for… a few
months now?
Nope. A week. It just feels like
it’s been a few months since Elon did his Nazi salute at Trump’s
swearing in. Twice.
Anyways, you’re probably aware that
Trump’s been signing executive orders faster than he can devour his
morning Big Mac, but it’s easy to get lost in the high volume of his
stupid moves. That’s why we wanted to make sure you’ve seen what he’s
done in just the last week… and remember, this is only 5 of the bigger
ones.
1. An order to pardon January
6th insurrectionists. We knew
this was coming, but it’s still unbelievably shocking. These people
are criminals. They broke into the Capitol and tried to hang the Vice
President. They tried to undermine a fair and free election. And in
the process, they beat and killed several police officers. It was the
most photographed crime of all time, so it’s not like there’s a lack
of evidence. Just a lack of respect for our law enforcement, our
democracy, and every last lawmaker who feared for their life that
day.
2. An order to end birthright
citizenship. He’s literally
trying to blow off the Constitution with this one. The 14th Amendment
guarantees birthright citizenship, and now Trump wants a law ratified
in 1868 to disappear for no reason other than racism. We don’t expect
him to know this, but diversity is one of the things that makes
America great. A federal judge called this move “blatantly
unconstitutional.” Couldn’t agree more.
3. An order to withdraw from
the World Health Organization. Did this idiot forget what happened last time he was in office?
When he told everybody to inject themselves with bleach and not take
tests so he could look better? We’re not sure what the plan is if
another global pandemic rolls around while Trump’s in office, but we
are sure that if Trump comes up with it, we’re probably screwed. The
WHO simply exists for the betterment of the planet. They aren’t out to
screw the United States out of money or do whatever paranoid
conspiracy crap Trump believes.
4. An order declaring a
“national energy emergency.” First off, gas is cheaper now than when Trump left office last
time. So, not sure what the emergency is here. Trump clearly did this
so his billionaire friends at oil companies can go drill wherever they
want without worrying about government regulations. That’s how the
Arctic Wildlife National Refuge is now open for drilling. Remember
when Trump basically asked for a bribe from big oil while campaigning?
This is him following through on his half.
5. An order
freezing President Biden’s infrastructure bill. Yes, the guy who called America’s roads and
bridges “third world” is now demanding that no money be spent on
America’s roads and bridges. Remember, this was a major bi-partisan
bill that not only updated infrastructure, but created American jobs.
His pettiness really comes through on this one.
While the media clearly won’t tell
the public what he’s up to, we’re happy to relay the messages. Because
what he’s doing is wildly unpopular. We know it’s early, but it’s up
to us to keep Trump and his MAGA kooks in check. Help
us keep it up >>
