Donald Trump, You Are Being Set Up By These Suckas In Washington

I know we haven’t spoken since your run for office. The truth is, I never thought you would become president. I’m sure the comments I made publicly and to the press against your platform broke our friendship apart. That said, I still have some advice for the man I used to consider a friend. You are being set up.

I am convinced you are the Trojan horse. The extremists in the Republican Party and religious right have been praying for a long time to put a candidate in the position to turn back the tide of our forward push for justice and equality, which is in effect the American dream. The pendulum of consciousness always swings towards compassion and justice. There are moments that it swings back but once given a taste of freedom the people will thirst for it and will not let anyone take that away. African-Americans will never again be slaves, women will never again lose their right to vote or go quietly back into the coat hanger days, the LGBTQ community will not go back into the closet, the right to worship as we see fit will not be taken from one — you will have to strip it from everyone.

were actually praying that tRump will die and Pence will become president. They were just using tRump to get the White House and then he's of no use to them. And, I've read in several places that the GOP is planning on dumping tRump at their earliest convenience AFTER they get some things they want. I don't know if that makes sense because wouldn't Pence deliver everything they want? So why wait? Anyway, I think tRump is being used, too, and at some point they will impeach him or use other means to force him out of office as he's a loose cannon and huge liability.

I am all for impeaching sooner rather than later, but wouldn't that just anger his die-hard base?? Those die-hards are a scary bunch, and who knows how they would react tRUMP were to get impeached so early! Also, in this article, it advises tRUMP to understand that he is getting played by the rethuglicans and warns him that we are going to be left with a broken country because of his destruction. Do you think tRUMP gives a rat's ass that he is ruining this country??! He just cares about the bottom line....lining his pockets!!
