.@realDonaldTrump is a megalomaniac who sees himself as CEO of TRUMPUSA! He fits the description of megalomaniac by the Cambridge English Dictionary to a tee. blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/202…

.After I sent my previous post about @realDonaldTrump and his tariffs I got the following message - "We’ve added a temporary label to your account which may impact its reach." They are censoring a tiny voice like mine?! What are they afraid of?!

.@realDonaldTrump just announced a trade deal with the UK. He couldn’t care less what the deal was. This is Trump’s Let’s Make a Deal Tariff Show, with 200 more deals-in-waiting to feed his narcissistic need for attention and praise. blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/202…

This country is only for Trump believers! Only for Republicans? The rationale for deporting noncitizens is if they undermine “national policies.” Half the country disagrees with Trump policies. You can’t be here if you take their side?! How outrageous! blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/202…

A new @usdoegov webpage: “ensur[e} all students have access to meaningful learning free of divisive ideologies and indoctrination.” Government policing of this is frightening. Grant applicants even worry about using terms like “equity.” Big Brother Lives! blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/202…

Plus there is no other rationale for @DOGE. We don’t need government cuts but more spending. All our allies spend much more on government than 36% relative to GDP. blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/202…

.Is @elonmusk stupid, ignorant, or a liar? The rationale for @DOGE is the U.S. will go bankrupt due to its national debt. You don’t need Econ 101 to know this is nonsense! blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/202…

.@realDonaldTrump warns against gender ideology. What nonsense! How outrageous! Orwell's Big Brother lives!

.@realDonaldTrump’s political blitzkrieg – how can he get away with this?! The answer is simple – the Right is very happy! This is their dream come true! blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/202…

.@DOGE has nothing to do with efficiency. @elonmusk and @realDonaldTrump want the destruction of the US government. DOGE is the culmination of almost 50 years of neoliberalism in a government by an oligarchy of billionaires. blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/202…

.@elonmusk's co-president, @realDonaldTrump, is evil. "Shock and Awe" may be an understandable strategy in a real war but that is not how you treat people in peacetime. Where is the humanity and understanding that your policies are upending so many lives?! What an outrage!

#CapitalismisCriminal The most obscene economic statistic is that 81 individuals, billionaires, have more wealth than 50% of the world's population combined! @graceblakeley blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/202…

#CapitalismisCriminal 80% of the world and 50% or more of the US live lives of deprivation or precariousness. That is what has given us Trump and right wing authoritarians elsewhere. @graceblakeley blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/202…

#CapitalismisCriminal yielded another term of Trump. Especially due to the 40% or more of the US populace who have a precarious life. Many don't buy his views but hope for change. Then there are the billionaires like with @elonmusk's Super PAC putting a huge thumb on the scale.

#CapitalismisCriminal When billionaires - furthered by Citizens United - like @elonmusk upend democracy by owning what should basically be a public utility and buying legislators and even buying votes! @maddow @AliVelshi @paulkrugman @RepMattGaetz blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/202…
