Agent orange fans, before genuflecting at the Trump altar, need to take a realistic look at him, try reading and layoff the Fox koolaid.
Trump scorns science, promotes cuts in medical research, renewable energy, and education, all the while denying climate-change. He promotes programs to help charter schools and provide private-school vouchers funded at the expense of public education. Presently he is on a mission to destroy our postal service which in turn will destroy Montanaâs rural communities. Trump and his croniesâ mission is to privatize the USPS, claiming that thereâs enough capacity from UPS and FedEx to make the USPS unnecessary. That is complete bull. The Postal Serviceâs mandate is to provide universal delivery across the United States regardless of profit. This is especially important for delivery and pick-up in remote rural areas.
While the current virus pandemic is not Trumpâs fault, the failure to prepare the United States for the pandemic is his fault. We lost of our stockpile of ventilators/respirators because the Trump administration let maintenance contracts lapse in 2018. That year he also disbanded the global security and pandemic white house office. This year, for almost three months, Trump foolishly called the corona virus pandemic a hoax and insisted that it is like a harmless flu that would miraculously disappear this spring. Those months passing, without testing, isolation or ordering supplies, while Trump insisted that the virus was under control, placed the United States on this path to the worst outbreak of the corona virus in the developed world.
Pardon me if I donât genuflect at the Trump altar.
