In his speech last Sunday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, President Trump, after saying he was not there to lecture the leaders of more than 50 Muslim countries, did just that. In fact, it amounted to hectoring as he repeatedly insisted they drive terrorists out of their country.
“A better future is only possible if your nations drive out the terrorists and extremists,” he asserted. “Drive. Them. Out. Drive them out of your places of worship. Drive them of your communities. Drive them out of your Holy Land, and drive them out of this Earth.”
Before this repetition on “Drive,” Trump said, “We can only overcome this evil if the forces of good are united and strong—and if everyone in this room does their fair share and fulfills their part of the burden.”
That message is the same message we need to deal with his evil intentions that lurk throughout his entire administration and its agenda. And that perniciousness looms most starkly for the sick, poor and the elderly in this nation, if his proposed budget is approved.
It’s bad enough with the dreadful harbinger of Obamacare on the brink, and we can only hope the Republicans are worried about the outcome of the midterm or the elections of 2018 to reject it in the Senate.
Yes, Mr. President, there is an evil threatening us and we don’t have to look to the Middle East. That evil seeps from the cuts you plan on Medicaid, Planned Parenthood and even the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. You have done well by the plutocrats and the sycophants at your beck and call, but once again you’ve neglected the destitute, and that’s an unforgivable evil.
In your speech in the middle of the Arab world, you had the audacity to talk about goodwill for Muslims when your actions here in America have been quite the opposite. You boasted about exciting times in America, that “a new spirit of optimism is sweeping our country.”
Along with your audacity, there’s your mendacity, and the trip was perfect timing for you to scat while things heat up on the possible collusion between your campaign team and the Russian connection.
A trip abroad will not distract us from our desire to “Drive” you from office, and that, we know, is a way to Make America Great Again. Trump Must Go!
