Trump is helping elite rich keep control

Thinking of President Trump as one of America's greatest presidents is like calling the bubonic plague a small health risk. Donald Trump is the living embodiment of the seven deadly sins - pride, greed, lust, gluttony, wrath, envy, and sloth - and he is the precise reverse of the seven virtues as enunciated by Pope Gregory in 590 AD: chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility.

However, he has all the traits of a personality disorder: 1) excessive feelings of self importance 2) reacts to criticism with rage 3) takes advantage of people 4) preoccupied with fantasies of success, power, beauty and intelligence 5) disregards the feelings of others.

Boasting that President Donald Trump is exposing and fighting the self serving corrupt elite is not supported by the president's actions. Trump's tax cuts, his evisceration of labor laws, filling his cabinet and sub-cabinet with corporate cronies, the rollbacks of health, safety, environmental, and financial regulations have made the elite far richer at the expense of average Americans.

While focusing on Trump, it would behoove us to also focus on the titanic moves by the elite right to literally realign society for the long haul: stacking the courts with virulent conservatives, suppressing voter access and gerrymandering districts to control the Congress.

Trump and the Republicans have carefully created a government of organized misinformation to create and disseminate misinformation to support their very conservative agenda. These actions are fully supported by organizations such as Fox News, Americans for Prosperity and The Heritage Foundation, all controlled by the elite super rich.
