The Trump Swamp

There's an old expression, maybe just a southern thing, but it goes don't let the fox guard the hen house. The American people were hoodwinked by Trump the actual Swamp Monster who said he would drain the swamp in Washington, D.C. when in reality he has just used the office of the President of the United States to his own personal benefit. WAKE UP AMERICA!


Excerpt from AboveTheLaw.com by Jonathan Wolf  another perfect example of the Trump Swamp

The Boundary Waters Wilderness area is a sprawling expanse of forests, lakes, and hundreds of miles of rivers and streams along the U.S.-Canada border in northeastern Minnesota. It is the largest remaining area of uncut forest in the eastern half of the United States, first set aside in 1926 to preserve its “primitive character.” Every year, thousands of visitors make the trek to Minnesota’s Arrowhead Region, to canoe, to observe the area’s gray wolves, black bears, and moose, and to otherwise enjoy nature in the Boundary Waters Wilderness area. More than 12,000 people are employed in outdoor recreation in the $44.5 million recreational economy flowing through the Boundary Waters. The site brings in more visitors than any other U.S. wilderness area.

Trump Administration Opening Boundary Waters Area To Mining By Chilean Company

Despite uproarious local opposition, in mid-May, the Trump Administration took a major step in opening the area up to copper-nickel mining. The Bureau of Land Management of the U.S. Department of the Interior renewed two long-shelved hardrock mineral leases inside the nearby Superior National Forest. The leases cover land alongside lakes and rivers that flow into the Boundary Waters. Copper-nickel mining can create acid mine drainage, which contaminates nearby watersheds with heavy metals.
In 2016, the Obama Administration had placed a moratorium on new mineral extraction efforts in the Boundary Waters Wilderness area while it extensively studied whether thousands of acres of the surrounding watershed should be withdrawn from availability for mining. But when Trump took office, his Administration reversed course.
The holder of the newly renewed mineral leases is Twin Metals Minnesota LLC, a deceptively local-sounding name for a subsidiary that is in fact owned by the Chilean mining conglomerate Antofagasta. Sitting on the board of the Luksic-family-controlled Antofagasta is Chilean national AndrĂ³nico Luksic. In a classic expression of the festering swamp the Trump family is cultivating in Washington, D.C., shortly after Trump was elected, AndrĂ³nico Luksic purchased a $5.5 million mansion in Washington, which he now rents to Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner for $15,000 a month (apparently this is a good rental rate for a 7,000-square-foot home in the nation’s capital). Javanka and Luksic claim their rental arrangement is merely a meaningless coincidence.

Trump promotes Socialism but...

After Trump got played yet again by China he decided to use the tariff money to Buy "crops" from American farmers (aka a form of Socialism) but send the crops to poor countries as humanitarian aid. So because America is not using the "crops" for it's own people it is not considered Socialism. Even though Trump is using America's own money to buy crops from it's own farmers to artificially boost prices and keep farmers in business. What happen to the free market?
