The Trump administration sent their MLK proclamation to the press at 8:15 PM EST.
This was not simply an afterthought. They were shamed into doing something every other president has done for the last 40 years.
“I voted once for Trump in 2016 — I’ve learned right wing media is just a propaganda machine… ask yourself if the principles of this administration are actually in line with the teachings of Jesus. All they’re doing is exploiting the poor for the benefit of the billionaires.”
Dear Liberals,
You and I are not friends.
We disagree on everything from abortion to the Second Amendment. Your belief system is abhorrent to nearly every personal and political value I hold.
That said, you did try to warn us about Trump.
You screamed and yelled from the mountaintops that he was not what he presented himself to be, and I, like many, refused to listen.
I mocked you. I laughed at you when he won. I felt entitled to his victory because I dedicated eight years of my life to his campaign.
My eyes are now open.
This is not the man I voted for.
When I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong.
I am sorry.
I apologize.
Since Trump was elected:
Mark Zuckerberg got $25 billion richer
Jeff Bezos got $36 billion richer
Larry Ellison got $78 billion richer
Elon Musk got $187 billion richer
Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, food & housing costs soar and AI is killing jobs.
