THE STATE OF THE UNION .....


Generally speaking, the U.S. economy has improved greatly, at least since the great depression of the last century, but it's not resulting in good or better situation for everyone. As and for many decades now, household incomes have stagnated, for a very considerable segment of the American population. Slogans of the present administration and Mr. Trump himself are playing big time over these and similar facts .

For a while now, and more so under the actual administration, the concentration of wealth at the top is becoming a clear feature of our society. Whereby most Americans keep struggling to get by . The bottom 90% of the population own 22% of the nation's wealth, while the top 1% own approximately 40% according to the Federal Reserve Bulletin, and while wages stagnate for most, most CEOs and presidents of all corporations are now earning in brackets of thousands times their employees salaries .

Even health care, education and basic social services and securities, as well as infrastructure maintenance are all inferior to those available in most first world nations. And things are not improving with the Trump reign. Not to most ordinary Americans including his own base and supporters, things are regressing rapidly.

Mr. Trump exposes Americans to only one side of reality, his side. And it's frequently based on lies and or false information, but it becomes people's realities. And the more we see the concentration of the media in the hands of a few rich men, the easier it is for the Trump oligarchy to market its ideas  and policies .

Our foreign policies, and dealings with the world is slowly crumbling, as we are conducting a total war of hate and isolation against the entire globe, and more so our allies, whereby 3 veteran ambassadors and many senior State Department diplomats resigned lately, amid frustrations with Mr. Trump and his policies . We are reversing every policy the US. has adopted for the past 70 years, befriending our standing enemies and angering our traditional allies. 

The Trump machine is simply a version of our human tendency to ignore reasoning pragmatically when it leads us to conclusions we dislike. Our history has always been and more so nowadays, a story of privileged exploiters, rather than exploited victims . except for Mr. Trump, whereby all our trade partners, be them allies or enemies the world over, they are all exploiting us in terrible ways. And Mr. Trump is in to fix 100 years of American victimization versus the world. We are starting measures to destroy it all, and create worldwide economical chaos, and totally isolate ourselves economically and physically .

 My thanks to all .
