Very well said Susan!!

I would like to add the following, if I may:

"When You’re a Star....You Can Do Anything”, so sayeth our President.

Trump is doing to the American people what he bragged about doing to women.

Trump sees himself as the brightest star in the firmament: “ I run the country and the world.”

Knowing that he can freely do it to women, as he was recorded bragging on the “Access Hollywood” tape, he knows that he can do it to all the American people:

“ It’s like a magnet…I don’t even wait. When you’re a star, they’ll let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p----. You can do anything.”

And that’s exactly what he’s doing to us. We are all his victims.

Well researched, well documented, and clearly written, Susan.

Thankfully, you are cutting through the pile of diversionary announcements and social media bits to redirect our attention to the main event, which is to take everything from every American who is not a billionaire--your right to vote, to speech, to assemble, to make your own decisions, plus your food, energy, money, and national security--all for Trump, his family and whomever he favors....for now.

None of this is a secret because Team Trump published it in advance in a large book available to all (free download) before the last election. Was it too much to read? Was it so outrageous that we wanted to close our eyes as though he did not mean it?

What causes great anger and renewed awareness is Trump holding up a poster board, every day, that says, "I'm doing it to you now." In plain sight, mocking every American, no matter how they voted.

Wow. I don't think I ever saw the lyrics to Seeger's song. I am sharing these for folks old enough to remember the music. What goes around comes around - you can count on it!
