Beware everyone. Today Trump fired the head of the Secret Service and the Secretary of Homeland Security because they were not tough enough. He is systematically purging the Department of anyone he deems disloyal or anyone he believes might not follow his orders regardless of whether they are legal or not. These are tactics similar to what military dictatorships use to consolidate their power around the ultimate leader .
Separating minors from their parents, some as young as infants, is depraved and immoral. But it is apparently not tough enough for Trump and his Rasputin, Stephen Miller .
What is to become of these children after their prolonged incarceration in CAGES? How they will be reunited with their parents is of no concern to this orange menace in the White House, nor to his bootlickers in Congress.
These draconian measures have shocked the world and shamed America. And yet it has not stopped the influx of refugees from Central America. Mostly women and children now, these immigrants embark on a long and dangerous journey, risking their lives and their health, because staying in their home country is even more dangerous. The mothers and children keep coming, but there is no plan for solving the problem, nor the root cause of the migration in the first place.
Trump's punitive cut off of foreign aid may pose a temporary hardship for the lawless leaders in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, but it is a worse punishment for the people already suffering there. The poorest will feel the weight of it, not those who are oppressing or taking advantage of them. This is a humanitarian crisis the likes of which we've not seen in this hemisphere before.
It calls for straight thinking new ideas, straight talking, Diplomacy and Humanity. The Republican Party under Donald Trump shows none of that. Instead, they fortify, they arrest and oppress people already here who are working and contributing to our Society, and they round up and cage those arriving here now. The ideals written on the Statue Of Liberty in New York harbor are more than 3,000 miles away, they are obliterated.
Donald Trump is taking lessons from his mentor in Moscow, Vladimir Putin: Surround yourself with your chosen few. PURGE your enemies and non-loyalists - even if they are career people that "keep the trains running" or the money supply tempered. Damn all the Institutions that do not bend to your will. Put bureaucrats in charge of them, discredit them, control or dismantle them.
BEWARE AMERICA . Be very aware. This is how it starts. Don't be surprised when one day Trump comes out in his new military General's uniform with medals of "bravery" and outrage all over it, and proclaims himself : President For Life .
Don't laugh, people. This is how it happens in countries all over the Globe.
