Following President Trump’s pre-Christmas boastful address to Congress and other Trump self-delusional rants, American poet Berton Braley’s words reverberate: “We boast of vast achievements and of power … and here’s the bread line in the wintry street.”

Trump is America’s unredeemed, unrepentant Scrooge. Tariff Trump hoards wealth gained at the expense of America, Americans and the free world. The fascist United States under dictator Trump has become the power that Americans and the free world must conquer. Trump society is a sick society harmful to the health and welfare of men, women and children. America is in dire need of an immediate cure and savior.

Article II, Section 4 of the United States Constitution is one cure and savior. It removes the entire deluded and dangerous Trump administration.

America cannot survive under Trumpism. Do not expect Trump to suffer any nightly visitations curing him. Trump will not buy America a Christmas goose and fixings, nor support good causes. Trump will cook America’s goose and serve it up to America’s archenemies like Putin while Trump and family roll in coin and bread you provide.
