“Demolition and Demise: It’s too late to reverse the damage and demolition to the White House. Is it too late to save the constitution and democracy?,” asks IP attorney and award-winning author Timothy Trainer
The East Wing of the White House is demolished for a grand ballroom. The demolition of any part of the White House is, at this point, beyond symbolic of the destruction of the United States as many of us have known it. Trump, his cabinet members, and those elected GOP members in Congress have exposed themselves regarding the extremes they are willing to accept to change the country.
We’ve known for quite some time that the GOP’s favorite color is white. Simply consider the recent moves regarding who will be considered as refugees and allowed to enter the country: Trump Considers Overhaul of Refugee System That Would Favor White People – The New York Times.
One of Trump’s earlier acts, the removal of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General CQ Brown, is another example given the fact that there was nothing regarding General Brown’s performance as the Chairman that caused his removal other than the fact that he is African-American: Trump fires chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., NPR. It’s more likely that Defense Secretary Hegseth couldn’t accept the possibility that a man of color was a successful fighter pilot and climbed the ladder of military success on his own, something the SecDef seems to have been unable to accomplish.
House speaker Johnson characterizes those demonstrating on “No Kings Day” as a hate America rally: Johnson describes planned No Kings rally as ‘hate America,’ ‘pro-Hamas’ gathering – POLITICO. Puppet Johnson receives his $223,500 taxpayer salary to be a compliant follower and receives an additional $50,000 for personal allowances for things related to his official duties. As he cowardly says only what Trump tells him to say, other Americans exercised something Johnson and Trump no longer believe in for others: free speech. In the eyes of the spineless elected GOP members, only Trump is allowed to express opinions (facts are beyond him).
Trump cuts off trade negotiations with Canada because he’s upset that an advertisement in Canada featured the late President Reagan speaking about the negative effects of tariffs: Trump Says He’s Cutting Off Trade Negotiations With Canada – The New York Times. Of course, we should not forget that Trump (and his minions) has continued his China antics for months, leading to U.S. soybean farmers selling ZERO soybeans to China in September. China imports no US soybeans in September for first time in seven years. September was also notable for China’s curbing of exports of rare earth magnets to the United States by nearly 29%. Fall in China’s exports of rare earth magnets stokes supply chain fears. These magnets aren’t very important unless one believes they make life convenient, as they are used in earbuds, cell phones, hard disk drives, electric vehicles, wind turbines, MRI machines, and a host of U.S. weapons systems.
While Trump and his followers like to project an image of supporting the military and veterans, this is just a reminder that it is Trump’s people who sought to delay consideration of disability benefits. As applications for benefits pile up, this administration tried to use the government shutdown as an excuse to delay consideration of submissions for disability benefits. Fortunately, the panel that hears such requests denied the Trump Administration’s arguments for further delay, voting 9-0 against the Trump Administration’s request: US court rejects Trump officials’ effort to delay rulings on veterans benefits | Trump administration | The Guardian.
It’s too late to reverse the damage and demolition to the White House. We see daily that elected GOP members are not in their elected positions to protect and defend the Constitution. The question that is before the country is whether it’s already too late to save the constitution and democracy that once existed in the United States.
