White on White Crime in the Trump Administration

And now Anthony Scaramucci is gone! White men on white men crime is out of control in Washington!

When whites mistreat or stab black people in the back it’s not surprising but when they do it to each other, you have to believe the world might be coming to an end.

The behavior of Donald Trump as the so-called Commander-in-Chief is beyond deplorable. Sure, we can take into account that the man had no previous political experience and he put into place people, clearly not qualified, to handle important matters. But instead of running the administration like a government (of the people, for the people and by the people), he has chosen over the first six months of his presidency to pick fights with his former FBI Director (James Comey), demean Attorney General Jeff Sessions and throw Sean Spicer to the media wolves. He also had no problem throwing Paul Manafort out like yesterday’s bath water, while denying he had any knowledge of Manafort’s involvement with Russia.

And just like babies do when they don’t get their way, Trump threw a temper tantrum and fired Comey because of the alleged Russian election meddling. Sean Spicer and Reince Priebus have since been pushed out of their White House roles by Trump’s newest pit bull, Anthony Scaramucci who vowed his undying loyalty and commitment to the leader of the deplorables. But now in less than a two-week notice, he is GONE!

Donald Trump leaves everyone, except his deplorable base, shaking their heads day in and day out with the way he treats the white men he CHOSE to surround him during this debacle of a presidency. Trump continues to prove that he has no loyalty to anyone UNLESS they show and demonstrate their undying loyalty to him first.

But here’s the irony……..

According to Pew Research, 67 percent of uneducated whites voted for Trump compared to 61 percent in 2012. They have since become known as The Deplorables — -a name Hillary referenced in talking about the behavior of his supporters at his campaign rallies The name took on a new life with thousands of people jumping on the bandwagon to identify themselves as one of them while they continue to stand by their “deplorable” president. Personally, I don’t believe Trump has any allegiance to those poor, white, uneducated people and, sadly, they won’t realize it until it’s too late.

But here’s another telling statistic according to Pew: Trump won whites WITH a college degree by a margin of 49 to 45 percent over Clinton. Now why is this important? It is because too much attention has been paid to the uneducated, poor white trash who came out of the Hills and Rural America to have their voices heard. But college educated whites were making a statement too. They preferred Trump over Hillary for whatever reason. But let me take it one step further. What about the folks making $200K or more? Not all of them are college educated. They were the silent among us. I call them the Deplorable Rich Misfits. They probably weren’t ever polled and, if they were, they probably didn’t tell the truth about who they would be voting for. Listen, the more money people make, the more likelihood they voted for Trump especially if they are white men — -and as I always believe, white women married to wealthy white men will do as they’re told to hang on to the lifestyle they’ve become accustomed to. Another point is the fact that whites over the age of 65 preferred Trump over Hillary by a margin of 53 to 45 percent.

As a veteran journalist, I believe Trump won because the exit polls simply didn’t do a very good job at polling and he had a lot of help from the silent majority known as the Deplorable Rich Misfits — -consisting primarily of rich old white men, who are rallying around him looking for his favor.

I’m just waiting to see where the ax will fall next because white on white crime is alive and well in the new administration. The evil that white baby boomer white men do.
