President Trump scammed American workers. He promised to bring back manufacturing, raise wages, fix trade deals, close the carried interest loophole, and help small farmers. But everything President Trump achieved were things the Republican machine wanted. We got a tax cut for Jeff Bezos, deregulation for special interests, and giveaways to agriculture conglomerates.

President Trump let the Bush wing of the GOP run all his agencies. His Interior Secretary was an oil & gas lobbyist. His Defense Secretary was a Raytheon lobbyist. His EPA Administrator was a coal lobbyist. His HHS Secretary was a pharmaceutical lobbyist. And his Labor Secretary was a lawyer for mega corporations.

President Trump’s supposed support for farmers ($28 billion) all went to Big Ag conglomerates. 

We had the worst rioting and looting this country had seen since the 60s under President Trump. He inflamed racial tensions and didn’t keep us safe. Instead of using federal law enforcement to stop the rioting, Trump thought it was good optics to let Democrat-run cities burn.

President Trump bragged about arming Ukraine more than Obama did. He also walked away unilaterally from the intermediate range nuclear missile treaty with Russia, destabilizing our relationship. He also exacerbated tensions between Ukraine and Russia that ultimately caused a war.

Trump appointed the worst neocons to the highest positions of power in his administration: John Bolton, HR McMaster, and Robert O’Brien. Now, Lindsey Graham is one of his top advisors and likely to be his Secretary of State.

President Trump bombed Syria, killed an Iranian general, and failed to fulfill his promise of ending the war in Afghanistan.

President Trump invented lockdowns. He shut down millions of small businesses and facilitated the greatest wealth transfer to billionaires in this country’s history.

President Trump did nothing to solve the opioid crisis. It got far worse under his tenure while his appointees running HHS were in the pocket of big pharma.

If you think a second Trump term would be any different, you are engaging in wishful thinking.

@Wild_SPb Кандидатка в губернаторки сняла кандидатурку? Не стесняйтесь, ни в чем себе не отказывайте.

@MikeStuartWV @WVGOP Mike, an important Republican politician has gone on record taking a totally opposite view. What do you think of his argument? https://t.co/e6d8UvNMzq

Trump in 2016: “She shouldn’t be allowed to run...If she wins, it would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis. In that situation, we could very well have a sitting president under felony indictment and, ultimately, a criminal trial. It would grind government to a halt.”

@Moish Yeah I know. I’m happy for you lol

@jfdwolff @BeyondMeat Is it kosher certified?

[Alex @akerdman]

@LngNstrt @BeschlossDC @gtconway3d Not really. Governors Island is roughly in line with their position, but to me it seems like they are on a boat of some sort. Headed to Staten Island perhaps for a high level summit? :)

@83_NYC @nyc311 Your creative insults have wounded me deeply. I shall engage the services of a therapist immediately to plumb the depths of my anti-vehicle, anti-parking twisted soul. Thank you.

[Alex @akerdman]

@83_NYC @nyc311 Lots of great options. You can:
1. Move to Queens
2. Pay for parking
3. Take the subway

[Alex @akerdman]

@83_NYC @nyc311 Stop screaming and hurling insults. You’re not scum. You are most welcome in our large and diverse metropolis. And your car is welcome. But parking it on the UWS should be very very expensive for you. It isn’t nearly expensive enough right now.

[Alex @akerdman]

@83_NYC @nyc311 Oops you went ad hominem immediately… how have you run out of substantive points already?

Yeah, I don’t think “millions of New Yorkers” are demanding the preservation of free street parking on the UWS. There’s not that many of you. And you don’t deserve the free real estate.

[Alex @akerdman]

@83_NYC @nyc311 My god the whining… take away all their free parking, NYC. Why are we just giving away precious square meters to the whiny incumbent classes? Let them pay the meter, or pay for a parking garage, or ride the subway like a regular person.
