As control of our government changes from one Party to the other, our life situations drastically reverse over time. In the fifty-plus years of voting, I have never experienced such a rapid-fire disruption to the way I want to live my life. We hear from Republicans that Trump’s “promises made promises kept” is so beneficial for America. Let’s talk about what Donald Trump is desperately trying to accomplish during his second term as President.
Trump’s claim that we are entering the “Golden Age of America” can be seen as not being a faithful promise to the American people. Two of Trump’s most prominent declarations praised by Republican politicians are border security and wasteful government spending. These issues are only two of the numerous activities that need to be publicly debated. His administration is going about these goals without fully understanding the consequences of the unlawful execution of his orders
Immigration Control
Eliminating the historic problem at the Mexican border is an age-old problem that ebbs and flows like the waters that carry so many immigrants into our country. They are looking for sanctuary from their oppressive governments which are destroying their lives. I read in the Associated Press that newly appointed Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has ordered the Pentagon to send 3,000 Stryker combat troops to the border. This is in addition to the 4,200 deployed under federal orders and about 5,000 National Guard troops.
How much is this extreme government reaction costing us? Is this the most efficient use of our military capabilities? How is Musk’s newly created raging DOGE office plan to “efficiently” process the tens of thousands of immigrants who are being arrested without notice or justification? Trump’s administration has been chosen to fulfill his grand desire to change our government into the greatest business enterprise in the world. Who’s going to benefit the most from these predesigned changes that are documented in Project 2025’s Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise.
This document was available to the public when Trump was still running desperately for reelection. However, this is not something voters would read nor would Republican politicians dare admit to having any knowledge of its contents. Now that he has been elected President, he is vigorously implementing these Republican promises because it is designed to give him and the Executive Branch greatly increased power over the Legislative and Judicial Branches.
Trump has already blatantly defied the legal restrictions that have been specifically created and implemented to prevent the President and Executive Branch from creating a dictatorship. This is what he did during his first term. By defying to comply with subpoenas or provide requested documentation needed for investigation into allegations of abuse of power, he was able to evade guilt during his two Impeachment investigations. Not only is he going after foreign immigrants but everyone who has tried to impede his thirst for power, wealth and recognition.
DOGE: Department of Government Efficiency
Take a very hard look at the people he has appointed as his Cabinet members and administrative leaders. The books that I have written point out how in his first Presidency these personal appointments carried out his policies without question despite legalities and well-established precedence. Read about why so many of his appointments failed in their responsibilities and were rewarded with his Presidential Pardons and Clemency for the crimes they committed. Now look at how his political appointees are carrying out his orders with a sickening vengeance.
These inexperienced individuals are willing to go so far as to destroy the lives of anyone and everyone who challenges his authority putting everyone in fear of being subjected to his thirst for retribution against those who refuse his control. Those who don’t realize what this means for our future need to be awakened to reality. With appointee Elon Musk’s DOGE cuts being thoughtlessly implemented, the lives of tens of thousands of ‘real’ Americans are being heartlessly destroyed.
With the massive number of job losses many of these people may lose their homes as was the case with the foreign and domestic policies of the Bush/Cheney administration. Let’s not forget that this caused the Great Recession of 2008. This took eight years of political changes with business restrictions being lifted by deregulation and foreign policies leading to our disruption of the balance of power in the Middle East and Central Asia.
The Free Market System of Government
The MAGA faithful exclaim why not have a successful business icon run our government rather than someone who gives away their income tax payments for liberal causes that support foreigners? This belief is inadequately understood and also needs to be publicly debated. Capitalism vs Socialism is what my books explain in verifiable detail. I rationalize how in his first term as President our lives have been drastically changed by the misuse of our technological achievements. All of which are designed for gross profits.
Our methods of communication no longer believe in factual research that is reported in newspapers and TV programming that helps us understand the conditions of how others live. Now we communicate over the Internet which has developed into a World Wide Web of commercialized gossip. It is being used to further the interests of business executives who are creating massive databases of information that invade our lives with increasing intrusion and deception. Do you not find that your emails are now filled with unwanted notifications that can be traced back to your specific internet search inquiries?
Watch how TV programming has drastically changed into a sea of advertisements and how the internet has turned from a research tool for the world to share, into a massive search engine for personal information that can be used against us in enormously destructive ways. Pay particular attention to how we are constantly receiving updated licensing agreements on our cell phones and streaming devices. Giant corporations are forcing us to agree to have unwanted enhancements that we can’t refuse or we will lose access to what we already are happy with.
With Artificial Intelligence algorithms (AI) searching rapidly growing databases by Trump’s demanding appointees that contain the history of our activities stored on government computers, everyone becomes exposed to unwarranted retribution. What is of particular concern to me is the potential abuse of voice and facial recognition. We already have had cases of people being spied on by predators using the cameras built into cell phones, computer monitors and laptops. AI development needs to be closely monitored and controlled.
AI is being developed to harvest every bit of personal information they can gain access in order to find people who need this information and are willing and able to pay for it. How they use this information is critically important and needs to be examined and restricted lawfully. AI research and development is creating databases that improve physical and mental deficiencies along with eliminating the spread of diseases. This is an extremely important reason for AI creation.
Using my personal information to match my needs and expressed wants or desires (video and voice captivated) with willing buyers is not ok. This AI usage requires intelligent debate and implementation the way our Constitution was created. The Email that I have used efficiently for nearly two decades, is now filled with so many unwanted solicitations, advertisements, requests for contributions and extremely convincing fraud, that it has become worthless. My other more closely guarded Email service is now showing signs of following the same fate.
Control of technology by a President who is obsessed with deregulation and business executives placed in Government Agencies will override any benefit to the majority of us. Everything that is now happening in Trump’s second term was predictable based on what he tried to do during his previous four years in office. This resulted in two justified Impeachment trials as detailed in my second book titled Donald Trump’s Impeachment Problems. Will there be a third and final Impeachment of this President?
