It has now been six months since Donald "The Tweeting Twit" Trump ascended from the flames of the nether regions to impose his Republican Rectum Reich on the people of America.  How have they done?  The Republican Reich is virtually always wrong.  Fortunately, we have another Reich that is virtually always right, and Robert Reich has prepared a report card, designed for the fools that voted for Trump.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"TrumpAsshole\"<\/p>\n

So after six months, has he delivered what he promised you?<\/p>\n

1. He told you he\u2019d repeal Obamacare and replace it with something \u201cbeautiful.\u201d You bought it. But he didn\u2019t repeal and he didn\u2019t replace. (Just as well: His plan would have knocked at least 22 million off health insurance<\/strong>, including many of you.)<\/p>\n

2. He told you he\u2019d cut your taxes. You bought it. But tax \u201creform\u201d is stalled. And if it ever moves, the only ones whose taxes will be cut are the wealthy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

3. He told you he\u2019d invest $1 billion in our nation\u2019 crumbling infrastructure. You bought it. But his infrastructure plan, which was really a giveaway to rich investors<\/strong>, is also stalled.<\/p>\n

4. He said he\u2019d clean the Washington swamp. You bought it. But he\u2019s brought into his administration more billionaires, CEOs, and Wall Street moguls than in any administration in history, to make laws that will enrich their businesses, along with former lobbyists, lawyers and consultants who are crafting new policies for the same industries they recently worked for<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

5. He said he\u2019d use his business experience to whip the White House into shape. You bought it. But he created the most chaotic, dysfunctional, back-stabbing White House in modern history<\/strong>, in which no one is in charge.<\/p>\n

6. He said he\u2019d close \u201cspecial interest loopholes that have been so good for Wall Street investors but unfair to American workers.\u201c You bought it. But he picked a Wall Street financier Stephen Schwarzman to run his strategic and policy forum, who compares closing those loopholes to Hitler\u2019s invasion of Poland<\/strong>… [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
