I like to be cordial. Respectful. Measured. I’m the kind of person who will tell you I disagree with you, offer a cookie, and still hold the door open. But let’s stop pretending that we’re dealing with just another Republican presidency. Donald Trump is not some off-the-cuff political outsider anymore — he’s the sitting President of the United States. Again. And he’s not wasting time pretending to care about facts, fairness, or the rule of law. He’s busy weaponizing ICE like his own personal gestapo, using fear to keep Americans distracted while he and his rich friends pass legislation designed to make themselves even richer — at your expense.
And that, my friends, is one hell of a magic trick.
Let’s rewind. This man has a racism record longer than a CVS receipt. In the eighties, he called for the execution of the Central Park Five — five innocent Black teens. He didn’t apologize when they were exonerated. He questioned a judge’s ability to do his job because of his Mexican heritage — even though the guy was born in Indiana. He mocked Native Americans by saying casino operators didn’t “look like Indians to me” during a congressional hearing. That’s not subtle racism — that’s a greatest hits compilation.
Then came birtherism — the racist fever dream that Barack Obama wasn’t born in the United States. Trump didn’t just flirt with the idea. He slow-danced with it through every cable news show for years. That lie alone should’ve disqualified him from polite society, let alone public office.
And now that he’s back in power, he’s doing what he always does: using lies to cover greed. While he rails about immigrants, crime, and “anarchists,” he’s quietly pushing through tax and budget policies that funnel even more wealth upward. It’s the same con, only now with the full machinery of the U.S. government behind it.
But let’s talk about ICE. Trump isn’t using it as an immigration enforcement agency anymore — he’s using it as a tool of fear. Raids, detentions, aggressive targeting of political opponents and activists — this isn’t security. It’s intimidation theater. It’s a distraction tactic so people won’t pay attention while he signs bills that’ll gut worker protections, eliminate oversight, and redirect public money into private jets and golf courses.
And speaking of distraction — remember when he said windmills cause cancer? Or when he altered a hurricane map with a Sharpie? He’s not allergic to facts. He’s hostile to them. If facts were avocados, he’d call them deep state fruit and accuse them of voting illegally in Georgia. He doesn’t just avoid reality — he invents a parallel one where truth is whatever he tweeted five minutes ago.
Meanwhile, he still sells himself as a blue-collar billionaire — a guy who understands the common man because he once drove past a Walmart. He blames immigrants for the housing crisis, corporations for inflation, and never mentions the billionaires quietly hoarding wealth in the back room. He’s not draining the swamp — he’s bottling it and selling it as patriot juice.
And people bought it. Again. They didn’t just buy the hat. They’re now wearing it while cheering for policies that are about to kneecap their own wallets. Because that’s the real grift — convince struggling Americans that their pain is caused by people poorer than them, while the people richer than all of us write the laws in private.
But even the magic trick seems to be wearing off. Lately, even some of his diehard supporters have started to squint a little harder at the stage. His decision to aid Israel and escalate conflict with Iran has rattled the base he once held in an iron grip. For a crowd that once believed he’d keep America out of foreign entanglements, his recent actions have triggered doubt, backlash, and second thoughts. The man who built his brand on “America First” is now struggling to explain why so much of his agenda sounds suspiciously like business as usual — for defense contractors, donors, and oil markets.
So no, he’s not gearing up. He’s already here. He’s already signing bills that benefit himself. He’s already using federal agencies to distract, divide, and suppress. And while we’re busy arguing over slogans, he’s cashing the checks.
Civility doesn’t mean silence. And respect doesn’t mean pretending a con man is a prophet just because he has the nuclear codes.
So no, I don’t hate Trump. I just refuse to cheer for a man who treats truth like an obstacle, facts like propaganda, and poor Americans like camouflage for rich corruption.
America deserves leaders, not loudmouths. And the next time someone tries to sell you a billionaire as a working-class hero, check your wallet. Then check the facts — before they disappear behind another executive order and a cloud of smoke shaped like a wall.
