Did you vote for Donald Trump?

A you a rich Republican (or rich Democrat)? Congratulations! You have voted for the man who will line your pockets even more.

Are you a stock broker, or in the financial sector (that produces nothing), and you voted for him? Well done! You will get richer while the country gets deeper in debt.

If you are middle class, working class, or one of the 30 million extremely poor in USA, and you voted for him, you are a Trumpchump.

Are you one of the 53% of white women who voted for him? Then you have voted for a man, who as a fairly powerful, show biz personality, boasted of abusing his power over women. You have now helped him to become one of the most powerful people in the world. Do you think he will change now? Sorry, but you are a truly a Trumpchump.

Do you think that he will keep jobs in the US, at the expense of the pockets of his super rich Republican advisors? Even if he does, you will be working for less than peanuts. Trumpchump.

Do you think that when he cuts taxes, it will benefit you as much as it will benefit all his super rich chums? Trumpchump.

Do you think with taxes cut drastically, that he will make life better for the less well off? Trumpchump.

Do you think he can keep his promises to restore the American infrastructure by cutting taxes? Trumpchump.

Do you think that health, education, and social services will improve when taxes are cut? Trumpchump.

Do you think that there is such a thing as “clean coal”? Trumpchump.

Do you think that putting a climate change denier in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency is going to help us clean up the world for our children and grandchildren? Oh, boy! Trumpchump.

Do you believe that he is a good business man? Wow! Then you are really a super Trumpchump.

Do you believe that he told no lies in his presidential campaign? Well, you know what you are.

Do you think that he knows what he is doing? Sorry, Trumpchump. This man is a loose cannon. He will say something one day, only to retract or modify it, some time later.

Do you believe that, by poking the Chinese hornet’s nest, he is going to make life safer for you? Trumpchump.

Did you think that he was really going to dismantle the corruption in Washington? The revolving door of politicians going to work for companies that sponsored them? The campaign donations? The kowtowing to the super rich lobbyists? Trumpchump.

Maybe I am wrong, and he will turn out to be a wonderful president, who keeps jobs in America, who fixes the infrastructure, who successfully cuts taxes with no down side, and who will become one of the most stabilising factors in world politics. Oops, have I also become a Trumpchump?
