Trump Log # 68: Please Remember To Vote

Regardless how bad Trump is doing as President people will still support him, because the economy is doing well. It is great irony because the economy is still one of those things that the American president has little control over. That is the beauty of free enterprise. Unlike most of our allies in Europe and especially Asia, our economy, for the most part, is truly free.  Yet, you will still hear people say that they are going to support the president's agenda, because the economy is doing well.

Economies are cyclical. Our Federal Executive branch can pick winners and losers, overall the economy is on its own unencumbered by government. If you are one of the winners in the Trump economy please remember that it comes with a cost. Cost to our environment, to the education system, our health care and to our poor and disenfranchised. One should be voting not only for one's self-interest but for the interest of the nation and the planet as a whole, especially if you are doing well.

Please remember to vote this Tuesday. This President needs some checks in place to keep him under control. We need the improvements in our health care system protected. For this to happen, we need a Democratic congress.

I am taking a break from the Trump Log for a while. Perhaps I will publish one of these monthly instead of weekly. There is some other stuff I'd like to get done.

Trump Log:

Monday 10/29/18 - Trump is corrupt through and through, from his family to his cabinet. The New York Times has compiled a definitive list.

Tuesday 10/30/18 - Trump plans to end birthright citizenship. (Source: Washington Post)

Wednesday 10/31/18 - Trump was asked by Pittsburgh's leadership to wait a while before he visits. He visits anyway. (Source: Washington Post)

Thursday 11/1/18 - Trump wants to send 15,000 US troops to the Mexican border to greet the refugee caravan. This is about the same number of troops that we have in Afghanistan. (Source: Washington Post)

Friday 11/2/18 - Trump's average rate of lies per day has gone up to 30, leading up the election. Fear mongering is obvious in many of them. (Source: Washington Post)

Saturday 11/3/18 - US reimposes sanctions on Iran but gives exemptions to many countries including China, but not the European Union. Trump once again favors tyranny over of our allies of free nations. (Source: New York Times).
