Proving Me Right

Tweet

For many years I had tried to tell people how racist, sexist, coarse and corrupt the US is, and been dismissed. When Trump came to office this second time he proved me right. He made and makes no effort to hide his racism, sexism, his coarseness and corruption. Where in Brasil trying to cause a coup got the leader arrested, in the US it is a shrug. In other nations learning the leader has involvements in various businesses gets a kick out of office, in America it is normal. Years ago when the CIA underthrew the government, I was vocal about pulling back and many politicians listened. We started to make our own products, import from other Caribbean nations, and virtually ABA (anywhere but America). Our supermarkets were, in the 1980s, jammed with US goods. Think of standing between two long aisles all containing American goods. Today, amid our local stuff are a few US made products. You can virtually buy nothing made in the US. When Trump came bursting with his 'big beautiful tariffs' we kept straight faces. We didn't want attention. We have long gotten alternatives so if you took every US product off the shelves there'd just be spaces, not an absence of the product, be it ketchup or cream cheese or noodles,etc. Trump's insertion of the Apartheid loving Musk to fire all the non-whites he could confirmed the racism. His nasty remarks about women, his deportation of Hispanics, all proved my view of America was accurate.
