Trump's Socialism!

Let's talk strategy.
In order to win this country back, we have to stop thinking like Democrats and start thinking like swing voters. Trump has a persuasive tool in playing the socialism card. The fact is many don't like Socialism. What needs to be done is expose to the swing vote Trump's Socialism.
1. The FCC's ruling to end net neutrality. We the taxpayer paid for the internet with a bedrock principle the telecoms couldn't divide service speed to increase profits. They have it now thanks to Trump. What did we get in return. Nothing. Higher bills actually. Providers can chose what we see or can't see in a search. A government hand out to the telecoms.
2. Personal privacy. An inalienable right in the Constitution gone thanks to Trump. Service providers no longer have to keep our activity anonymous. They can sell our personal information attached to our activity. Corporate handout.
3. Thanks again to Trump people can no longer enter a class action suit against the banks. Massive giveaway from Trump.
4. Pollution restrictions lifted by Trump in return for nothing. Job creator? Hardly. Obama had job growth on a better trajectory than Trump while protecting our water and air.
5. His tax laws. Many corporations paying zero taxes while the deficit grows yet still enjoying all the benefits provided by the government- roads, military, firefighting, law enforcement and the like.
6.....any I've missed.
Mr. Bloomberg et al...use those ads to expose to swing voters that Donald J Trump is a socialist. The worst kind. A socialist for the powerful few born on the backs of the rest of us.
Yes. we already know this but the difference in the next election is showing the rest of the electorate Trump's Socialism.
