Is America Great Yet

Everything this person say, think and do revolves around money. There was a saying that “Money is the root of all evil.” I beg to differ. Money is not the root, the love of money is.

The need and greed to be that obsessed displays someone who is possessed.
The need to control it all, to want it all, to have it all… and for what?

Ok, so you got it all, now what? You want a cookie? What do you want? A praise, a pat on the back, a parade, you want likes or views on social media? You want recognition? Hey everybody, look at me, I’m a katrillion, bazillion, gazillionaire. Are you happy now? Do you really need it All?

You know what? I don’t like college athletes getting a lot of money for NIL deals, so I’m going to sign an executive order that would limit how much college athletes can make. Yeah, that’s what I’m going to do. And you know what else? I don’t like the Washington Commanders football team changing their name, so they need to change it back. And if they don’t, then I won’t make a deal for them to build a new stadium.

All I see is BTI (Bully Threats and Intimidation).
There are so many more cuts and takes away that has been happening with this administration that it’s ridiculous! It’s like, if you don’t do what I say, imma take it away. What makes it worse is how some of the elected officials are enabling this behavior by turning a blind eye. Meaning, ignoring, overlooking, fearful, fearful to say anything, fearful to do anything, fearful to speak out… But why? Why are their voices so silent now? They had so much to say when President Obama wore a tan suit. Oh yeah, many of the Republicans and certain news medias had a field day. They were in an uproar talking about that tan suit.

So my question is, with all that is going on with this administration, where’s the uproar now? Matter of fact, where’s the Epstein files? 
You probably said, yall want files, here, go read this, and released over 240,000 pages of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s FBI files, but not one page of the Epstein files. Keep in mind that Dr. King has been dead 57 years, so why now? Why you didn’t release it during your first term if it was of such interest?

You’re talking about Cashless Bail, football teams, The Shady Bunch and some false conspiracy which includes President Obama, because President Obama lives rent free in your head. You’re going on rants on social media talking about any and everything, trying to give all kinds of distractions to get people to talk about something else and not talk about the Epstein files. If there’s nothing to hide, then why hide? With all the lack of transparency, the control, the fear, the mishandling and dismantling, the lies, the chaos and confusion, and with all the firings, I’m talking firings of essential people with decades of experience being fired only to be replaced by who? Smh. And to top it off, with this “present dent” and all that is going on in this country, I just wanna know one thing - Is America great yet?

The short answer is it’s getting there. We’re only 6 months in and the last Autopen Administration left a lot to fix.
