Eugene Robinson: Trump admin "a great big fraud" with Trump governing as "robber in chief"
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...48e64e-1037-11e8-9065-e55346f6de81_story.html


Trump tells a lot of little lies. This is the big one.

The Trump administration is an aberration, an outrage, a threat to the nation’s very soul. But most of all, it’s a great big fraud.

Voters who thought President Trump would at least try to fulfill his populist, America-first campaign promises were cynically and cruelly deceived. Trump placates these supporters with rhetoric, distracts them with cultural warfare and encourages them to seek refuge in cultural chauvinism. What he doesn’t do for them is deliver.

-snip-

Remember how the president promised a $1 trillion program to rebuild the nation’s roads, bridges, airports and railroads? Well, he claims to be doing even more — $1.5 trillion in infrastructure spending over the next decade. But the promise comes with little or no new federal money, which means it barely qualifies as an idle wish.

-snip-

Anyone who expected projects on the scale of Hoover Dam or the interstate highway system should realize that Trump will never come through, because he has no idea how. If he were really the pharaonic builder he brags of being, don’t you think he’d have an actual plan rather than a vague, underfunded set of hopes? Many voters perhaps did not realize that the Trump Organization’s business model had little to do with construction and everything to do with branding. The president’s very good at that. But you can’t take an outdated port and brand it into being deep enough to accommodate the newest supertankers.

Trump campaigned as the purported champion of a working class that was being robbed blind by dastardly elites. He has governed, however, as robber in chief.

-snip-

The idea of Donald Trump as some sort of Man of the People was laughable from the start — a boastful plutocrat who lives in a gold-plated aerie above Fifth Avenue, claiming lunch-bucket solidarity with factory workers and coal miners. He sold it, though, largely by cementing a racial and cultural kinship and shamelessly misrepresenting his intentions.

Trump tells little lies all the time. But this is the Big Lie that must be constantly exposed between now and the November election: Trump is worsening society’s bias in favor of the wealthy — and laughing at the chumps who put him in office.

Trumps entire plan is to destroy the middle class, fuck over the poor and give it all the elite. Time to fucking wake up!

So he's a freaking commie, thanks.

[Shrimpbox]

Hey Eugene? How much did your boy do for black people? Let’s call the real fraud which was obama. Your hate big E is exposing your partisanship. Expect to see a rising crescendo of trump,hating as obama is increasingly exposed in the collusion case. The hate will hav an inverse relationship to trump,success and and Obama’s exposed guilt. Eugene’s lips are attached to Obama’s ass so you will not have any honest debate from him. All Robinson does is increase the wind in the Windy City.

 

[blackhawk]

A liberal who doesn't like Trump.

 

[Synthaholic]

Why would Obama do things specifically to help Black people? He was president of all the people. And the greatest one we’ve had in 50 years, since LBJ.

BONOBO never ONCE visited S. Chicago in eight years as president.
He didn't want to 'offend" his base.
He ran on the promise to "lift up the black community". The negroes turned out to vote for BONOBO believing his bullshit lies. More fool them.
Instead he golfed and played hoops with WHITE MEN!!!!
