Stop the Steals Initiated by Donald Trump

Stop the Steals Initiated by Donald Trump.

How Do They Grift Us, Let Us Count the Ways.

Oddly, Trump has as usual reflexively adopted a banner which point to the Thefts that he has perpetrated upon us.

Let’s backtrack in time.

By continuing the Big Lie, he is demanding that Conservative states alter the election laws to steal the 2022 and 2024 elections, and all future elections.

He is trying to stop or at least steal the investigation of the January 6 insurrection which he caused.

He tried to steal the 2020 election up to the last minute by pressuring VP Pence to not accept the accepted vote counts.

He tried to stop the congressional approval of the election by inciting the riot.

He started the Big Lie even before the election, knowing that he might lose and carrying on the Big Steal.  This even started in the 2016 election when he refused to agree to accept the results if he lost.

The Texas Legislature has stolen the rights of Texas’ women to in-state abortions, guaranteed to them by the Supreme Court 43 years ago.  More Conservative states might soon follow.

The Republican Senate and Trump stole three Supreme Court Positions, and filled them with highly Conservative judges from the Federalist Society.

Many federal judgeships were stolen from the Obama administration, and filled with Conservative and in some cases unqualified judges by Trump and McConnell. 

Trump stole the promised future for the DACA children brought in from Mexico

The Trump administration stole four years of planned progress cutting greenhouse gases.  

This stole the future of those affected by flooding and wildfires.

The trade war with China and the imposition of tariffs stole the money from American consumers who ended up paying for the tariffs.

The Chinese counter to the tariffs caused them to cut imports from American farmers, stealing income from them.

Trump stole money from the Defense Department and veterans to build the wall, which Mexico was not going to pay for.

The $2 trillion Trump tax cut promised to the Middle Class was stolen by lowering taxes mainly for the top few percent.

We are now learning that nothing was done to stop wealthy Americans from storing funds and businesses offshore to avoid taxes.  Biden is stopping this with an international agreement.

We are now working to stop Russia from providing foreign influence to steal our elections.

Trump is stealing the Republican Party and its state officials and state and national Republican legislators by opposing those not swearing fealty to him and following the Big Lie.

And the Beat Goes On, the Beat Goes On — Sonny and Cher.

Well, l am only one observer, and if anyone read this far, they are already bored, so I only covered the main categories.  I spent last year pointing out in uncountable articles how Trump worked to steal our experienced and scientific health protections in the midst of worst pandemic of a hundred years.

Let’s just summarize that President Obama in his two terms lit a thousand points of light to an advanced, equitable, and humanitarian future.  Trump went about systematically hiring not only unqualified by antagonistic directors to snuff out all of the Obama advances, stealing a thousand futures from us.
