3. It's time for progressive populism again.

FDR did it coming out of the great depression. We are currently in trump's great depression. I don't know if there's enough quarters listed or not to legitimize the tag, but it sure FEELS like it. Besides, you know there's reasons behind hiding all the business and economic reports... as in annotating a recession or a depression. Of course, trump is one of those idiots who will insist that if it's not written down in black and white, it's fake news. And even then, if it doesn't praise him to high heavens, it's still fake news.

If we had the economic reports, the business reports, the seasonal sales reports added to what we know and experience with our own two eyes and our pocketbooks, trump would be so far down in the polls the GOP would kick him out of there quicker than dirt, just so they could replace him with someone who could pick up where his "good" spells left off. Even without all these, I think it's only a matter of time before they try to replace him. I say "try" because he's not going to leave on his own, or easily. He's no Richard Nixon. At least Nixon had the shame a person should have and resigned when confronted by members of his own party. Who knows... maybe no one's confronted donno? Who'd want to confront him?! He throws such demented rage fits these days, he's as likely to throw a heavy bust at you as look at you. I'm betting he doesn't make it to the end of this term. Either death or dishonor will do him in. I don't care, one way or another. No... that's not right. I DO care. I want him to die. I want everything he plastered his name all over stripped of any inkling of the trump name. I want "trump" to mean what "Mud" means today. Who'd have thought we'd rehabilitate a confederate so trump could take over the name of dishonor.
