I haven't talked very much about politics, mainly because I don't know what to say.
Some of the things Trump has been ordering (the so-called executive orders) have been countered by the courts. Trying to take away birthright citizenship was particularly silly. But these are calculated risks; he figures, well, the rural poor whites are not likely to know anyone who became a citizen because of being born here; taking that away was sort of a no-brainer. But no, that's a right granted in the constitution. Trump seems not to know the constitution at all.
Elon M and a team of his employees have been working on looking at the computer databases of social security and the Treasury, and apparently they know all about the bank accounts of citizens. I'm concerned, not because I have a huge bank account, but because I'm not employed, and I live on my savings.
There was an attempt to deport illegal aliens who had been charged with crimes. Even being charged was enough; they were not brought before a judge. But these immigrants are the most vulnerable among us, and Trump has a reputation of being a bully. They were deported, though their home governments protested. And now Musk is doing it, too.
You would probably have heard about the tariffs, being charged against Canada, Mexico, and China. Those countries retaliated with their own tariffs against the US. It'll take a little time to see how that works out; probably badly for us, in which case it will be stopped, I'm guessing.
Nothing that really helps ordinary people has been done yet; only the satisfaction of damaging the government is being shown the ordinary Trumpees.
