The kleptocracy in action

Donald J. Trump presented himself as a man who would represent ordinary working people if elected. In reality, he is acting as an enabler to the corporate and business entities who wish to control more of our commons. He favors those who want to use public lands, on the cheap of course, privatize Social Security, Medicare and the VA, privatize the United States Postal Service and the pension fund and properties, privatize our precious water supplies. And, last but not least, privatize our much-maligned public schools. These same schools that have apparently been a place where students from Parkland and the rest of the nation have learned that they live in a democracy.

This is just a short list of the low-hanging fruit. I'm quite sure that, while we're all being distracted by the ongoing reality show airing from the White House, the Wall Street crowd is moving as quickly as possible to grab as much as possible before the Blue Wave in November.
