Trump’s base will get worst of GOP tax reform

Not yet one year into his dictatorship, our phony in chief enjoys historically low approval ratings, even with his loyal base of liberators from reality and reason. Despite his and his royal family’s continued investigation of corruption, his party has surrendered patriotism for party over and over again.

Now, we are on the brink of seeing the most historical head fake in history: tax relief for the middle class, and health care reform. Despite every neutral organization’s fact finding that health care and taxes will hurt and even devastate the middle class at the expense of benefiting the rich (Trump and family will benefit over $1 billion themselves) and their businesses, we will watch the party of no vote to hasten our demise.

And why not, after all of the damage our environment is facing with the repeal of sound and reasonable laws established to protect it. While our election choices were both admittedly poor, now we see just how much of a difference our poor choices actually are, though half the country forecast this (without the assistance of the Russians). And the most incomprehensible thing is, his base is getting the most royal screwing of all, and they cannot see the reality of it.

Enjoy it, as this ‘liddle’ man puts it to you. You have less than four years left of it — of course shorter if justice awakens. How’s all that winning feel?
