Since assuming office for a second term this year, the Donald Trump administration has made multiple decisions which has heavily impacted the country’s citizens, not in the best way.
From the beginning of this year, Trump has been cracking down on the immigrant population of the United States in an effort to malign and displace them. Some of these people have been living in the country for decades, but that has not stopped the dictator in chief from using force on them. Let’s be honest, he has never been the biggest supporter of minorities. So his hate for them doesn’t come as a surprise. What, however, does come as a surprise is the length to which he is willing to go to ensure that things are exactly how he wants them to be. Every day, if you scroll through X, you will at least come across 1 testimony of an individual harassed by ICE agents. Consequently, you will come across at least 1 individual every third day who has been a victim of a shooting by ICE agents.
Besides immigrants, another set of people extensively suffering due to Trump’s reckless decision-making skills are the soybean farmers of the country. Due to the increased tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, China, one of the largest buyers of American soybeans, is refusing to import them, causing distress among farmers who harvest it. Not only that, but China is now importing from Argentina, hinting at the establishment of a new trade route that will only bring further doom to American soybean farmers. By the way, President Donald Trump recently promised $20 billion to Argentina to help their declining economy. The step presumably allowed them to reduce tariffs on soybeans, which China is now purchasing.
Democrat leaning United States Senator Brian Schatz, in a recent press conference, is highlighting all of this and more, especially for those who refuse to see that President Donald Trump and his Republican allies are not on the side of the Americans. In a clip from the conference shared on X, Schatz says, “This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn’t enough money for under this Republican government is you,” while noting that Trump officials had worked for just 2 weeks out of the 3 months.
Multiple people reacted to Brian Schatz’s comments, with one person highlighting:
“Brilliant point by Schatz. The problem isn’t scarcity, it’s priority. There’s always money for vanity, never for vulnerability. Budgets don’t reveal deficits of cash, they expose deficits of conscience.”
Several others echoed similar sentiments as they criticised Trump and his dictatorial practices.
