Ken Westervelt: More guns and fraud, less health care and concern for climate under Trump
Donald Trump’s election motto – “Make America Great Again” – is turning into “Make Me and My Rich Buddies Great and America Worse.” Trump is showing America and the world his “I’m The Boss” mentality through vengeful and dangerous decisions, such as:
▪ Ignoring irrefutable scientific data and putting our fragile environment on a dangerous path that cannot be reversed.
▪ Allowing more assault weapons, with fewer background checks, into the hands of mental patients.
▪ Removing health care coverage for millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions while removing safety warnings about melanoma from tanning booths.
▪ Appointing his naive, inexperienced billionaire son -in-law as senior adviser.
▪ Either firing or trying to silence anyone who might expose anything illegal he did with Russia.
▪ Siding with Wall Street to remove safeguards put in place to prevent another financial meltdown like the one that began in 2007.
▪ Creating some jobs but losing many others.
Richard Nixon was man enough to resign .Will Mr. T?
