Unfortunately, my prediction about Trump is coming true.

When Trump was elected I said this will be the most investigated presidency in history. I also said the American people, all of them, would pay a heavy price for doing something so stupid. It was beyond stupid. Millions of americans will have their lives destroyed and no one will come out of this unscathed.

It has been one year and we already have a shutdown. A shutdown I support because Trump and the republicans lied about DACA. If it lasts hundreds of thousands of americans will be out of work.

The healthcare system has been sabotaged. All of us will pay for that. Many will die after they lose their healthcare.

More americans will die in the workplace.

More americans will become sick or die from environmental deregulation. Decrease in food, safety inspections

Corruption is a Trump policy. Trickle down put in place. Corruption will grow and spread throughout the entire economy.

Government agencies will all take for granted are being slowly bleed to death. positions not filled, decrease in funding.

The election of Trump will go down as one of the biggest blunders in american history.

History will not be kind to us as a nation. We seem incapable of making rational political decisions. Sending criminals like McConnell and Ryan back to Congress time after time.

Was inevitable simply because of who he is.
Total lack of consequences in his life following every outrage.

I repeated that for weeks to everyone. Many said I am just exaggerating. I said nope, piece by piece these nazis will take apart our government one law and one agency at a time.

My only solace is that pretty much everyone that hasn't been brainwashed by fake news and its hate radio ilk, agreed with me.
