Phony Baloney

Donald Trump famously and repeatedly promised to be the voice of America's forgotten men and women, should he become President (details here). He repeated this pledge the night he was elected.

But as the New York Times reported yesterday (link here), Trump has done almost nothing to benefit America's working class, those forgotten people he promised to help, but instead has spent much of his presidency working to better life for the super elite.

"Since he became President," the piece notes, "Trump has largely operated as a conventional Republican, signing taxes that benefit high-end earners and companies, rolling back regulations on corporations and appointing administration officials and judges with deep roots in the conservative movement. His approach has delighted much of the political right."

In other words, Trump's promise to the forgotten Americans was yet another big fat lie.
