TRUMP...THE MOST USED PRESIDENT

Donald Trump, after only five days, is proving to be the most used US President ever.

Far from being a purposeful and decisive President, Trump has spent his first days doing the bidding of those corporations and wealthy men who recognize a stooge when they see one.

Yes, Trump has been busy. But does anyone really believe that this man of exhibition rather than substance is researching, discussing, consulting, debating or thinking long and hard on the issues on which he has taken action? Of course not. What matters to Trump the appearance not the actuality.

The issues facing Americans are complex and nuanced. Trump is not.

Yet already, in the first five days, without plans to deal with the consequences, he has approved two pipelines long the subject of controversy, required government employees to withhold necessary environmental and agricultural information from the public, begun the process of wiping out health care for millions, agreed to bring back torture, withdrawn from trade agreements with our allies, threatened to take another country's oil by force even if it starts a war, began moving an embassy which also may start a war and, well, the list goes on.

Each of these actions is worthy of the most serious scrutiny a leader and his/her advisers can give to the decision making process. None of these actions was anything more than theater for Trump.

Donald Trump is an empty vessel into which those with money and power, including at least one foreign leader, are pouring their directives and Trump plays puppet.
