(TriceEdneyWire.com)—Many days leading up to the celebrations in the midst of a costly war that’s killed many, in the midst of a deadly disease in The Congo, in the midst of so many of our Palestinian and Ukrainian brothers and sisters being murdered on our dollars, with right here at home mothers talk about not being able to feed their children—with the same in the Sudan, with brothers and sisters under tension in Cuba suffering from a blockade proudly carried on by so-called leaders of our nation. Instead of trying to help the people of Venezuela through a devastating earth quake, our leaders are threating more war. The list goes on.
So, why should we celebrate anything in this so-called land of the brave and home of the free? In our neighborhoods, we are witnessing starvation, health problems, untreated mental problems and more just to see the top dog in our nation justify in addition to his $400,000 taxpayers’ salary, justify his banking over 2 billion more dollars!
How can we justify spending billions of dollars, killing hundreds of people dying for a problem President Barack Obama had already resolved? How can we stand losing friends around the world to satisfy the ego of a person in the White House who thinks he is a king, and has the right to do whatever he chooses? How can he nor his family who never had the courage to fight for liberty or justice for this country—yet enjoy all of its liberties without honoring the things for which other young men and women continue to die to protect us—including him, his children, grandchildren and rich friends?
I just don’t understand how any of them, except Dr. Mary Trump, the President’s niece, sleep at night or through the day in meetings where Trump should be listening and at least trying to make things better for our people. NO! He just sits through them sleeping, waking up using vulgar language when our children are awake trying to study. He uses his time texting silly messages and criticizing those trying to make the world better. That’s left to Pope Leo and us!
Trump’s only interest seems to be monetizing the presidency, and making it possible for his family, friends, spouse (By the way, what kind of work does she do to make what is reported to be about17 million dollars?) His V-P Vance, and his closest friends got theirs, too—one of which is Lutnick and God only knows who else! He can’t find time to get to the bottom of the Epstein Case! Meanwhile, the victims still suffer and he doesn’t care enough to tell his “personal” lawyers over at DOJ to give up the information so they can move on to solving some of this racism, sexism, wars he said he would never start, and all the mean things he has caused and supported.
If he were taking care of the business he was elected to handle he would not have time for sleeping in public, trying to denigrate others, trying to figure out how to find some of the kind of stuff on his friends as he looks for on Jack Smith, Letitia James, James Comey and trying to figure out how to out do our best president of all time—President Barack Obama.
While many Americans were at least trying to bring out the best of America, he was flying up to Mount Rushmore—hoping to get a picture with the mountain to make it appear that he belongs there! His ego won’t even let him move that tarp from the Kennedy Center. We Americans know he has no business leading any celebration in the name of America! Unfortunately, his behavior and attacks on democracy loom over what should be our celebration while he opens a “priority probe” into the 2020 election in Georgia that he lost, but tried to illegally gain votes to win!
