President Trump has sought to fulfill some of his key campaign pledges, like cracking down on immigration while ramping up deportations. But critics say that he has neglected or even worked against other key promises, like reducing the cost of living and improving the stock market. Since his return to office, costs have continued to rise, and the stock market has plunged, with investors blaming Trump for the volatile markets.
Trump, with key ally Elon Musk, has also worked to dramatically downsize the federal government, arguing that the effort will reduce federal budget costs and save taxpayer dollars. Some skeptics of that narrative, however, have expressed concerns that President Trump’s true intention is to weaken the government from the inside so that he can seize more power and capture state institutions, effectively pulling off a coup.
Watch the above video as Straight Arrow News contributor Dr. Rashad Richey contrasts candidate Trump’s rhetoric with President Trump’s actions, and warns Americans that President Trump aims to establish a dictatorship.
The following is an excerpt from the above video:
Yeah, all right, let me talk to MAGA supporters. Yeah, you’ve been hoodwinked, bamboozled. Let me tell you why. You see, Donald Trump was elected based on some deliverables that you said were important to you. When in the hell is he going to get around to delivering what you voted him in for?
Because I don’t remember you telling him to fire veterans. I don’t remember you telling him to increase the cost of living, I remember you telling him to decrease the cost of living. I don’t remember you telling him to get involved with trade wars and create tariffs. I remember you telling him precisely, let’s not do that again. I remember you saying that he needs to make it easier for the agricultural community, not harder. I remember you telling Donald Trump that he needs to make sure that we have a booming stock market. But ladies and gentlemen, once again, the absolute opposite is what’s happening. The stock market is declining, cost of living is increasing, tariffs, which become taxes for you, are plentiful, and that’s just at the beginning of the presidency.
New poll says that 63% of Americans are now embarrassed that Donald Trump is President of the United States. Whose agenda is Trump delivering? Because he absolutely is not delivering your agenda. I’m not anti-conservatives, even though I’m on the left, but I am anti-this foolishness, whatever you want to call it, MAGA or cult, I don’t give a damn. This is just foolishness all the way through.
