The New Ugly American
It’s quite a new America out there now. Full of anger, hatred and racism. It was let out of the box by Trump and is now. spreading around the world! And the majority of Americans are proud of it!
Maybe Trump has a low approval rate but that doesn’t stop his followers and new supporters from bragging about not only how great Trump is but how great he has been doing since he took over the Oval Office.
It doesn’t seem to matter that he has spent 25% of his time in Key Largo and played a lot of golf or had a rally or love-in to stroke his ego and reassure him that everyone loves him. Obama would have never got away with golf weekends or going to rallies!
One always wonders how the “Right” would have not only reacted if Clinton had been elected but if she dared take a getaway the first four weekends of her Presidency. And those emails on her phone? Trump has a better system, no security on his phone but all messages are automatically deleted so there will be no saved documents of how he runs the Presidency.
But to show you how “ugly” Americans are becoming, just try to determine who is telling the truth anymore? Trump can lie whenever he wants. But lying Hillary couldn’t get away with it.
What is most evident in the rise of “ugliness”, just talk to everyday Republicans. First of all they are sending in more money to the Republican Party than ever before. That shows real support for The Donald. And ask true blue Republicans who voted Republican but didn’t like Donald Trump. They love him now! And the main reasons why they support him now, is his decisive action in the first 30 days in Office. He has played golf, sat at his desk and signed Executive Orders! The Republicans did not like Obama’s misuse of power with his Executive Orders but with Trump, it’s ok, even if it is almost dictatorial. Nothing has been passed in the Senate or House but who needs that when we have the Donald.
And which legislation has Trump given Executive Order to which only brings praise from Republicans? The ones where He is going to build the wall, ban certain people from coming into this country and getting rid of illegal immigrants! The vast majority of Republicans believe this is the makings of a great President because of these 3 issues.
So Republicans and other Trump supporters want America to spend billions on a Wall! One of the most ridiculous ideas that the rest of World thought was a crazy idea, is now praised by millions of Americans . Banning people from coming here to protect and keep America safe is another falsehood supported by the American hordes. The vetting done by the American government is the most stringent in the World. Far more people die from traffic accidents and gun violence in America than in any terrorist act! This is really anti-Muslim policy not because they are a threat but because the majority of Republicans just don’t want them here. They are too different!
And the fear, anxiety and downright misery that is now occurring in the Mexican community is unconscionable! It is not the violent criminals being deported. They know where and how to hide. It is Mexicans who have overstayed, arrived here illegally or have been involved in petty crime. And the Republicans love this too!
The fact that Trump lies, is cosying up to Putin who has ordered the bombing of innocent people in hospitals and schools in Syria doesn’t seem to matter. They like how Trump attacks people, fires people who don’t agree with him and shows his anger and hatred. They don’t even care if Steve Bannon has more influence over Trump than anyone else.
The New World will be Bannon’s Old World. Countries isolating themselves and stopping immigration and getting rid of others. So each country can have their own “superior “ race, the Nationalists! America will be the leader. They are now legitimizing and validating racism, hatred and anti-immigration, worldwide. The New World may have governments that are extreme right wing supremacists! All the values that America stood for will be forgotten. Globalization will be set back decades because of the embracing of Trump’s values!
So now, when we travel the World, the White Supremacists and pro-Hitler sympathizers will shake our hand. The new ugly America will be loved by the haters! A new breed of citizens will embrace us. In 4 years we may get our Wall, have thousands of Mexicans deported, fewer Muslims, and less democracy as Trump ignores elected officials to sign Executive Orders. But Republicans everywhere are rejoicing! Their saviour is here! God bless America! God bless Trump. The ugly American is back!
