A Partial List of Trump's Atrocities

Truthout.org
October 17, 2017


The assaults from Donald Trump, now daily, are relentless.

Those in the U.S. who oppose his policies (a large majority of the country at this point, according to recent polls), are suffering a collective trauma because his administration is actively attacking our already-meager healthcare system, cutting funding for halfway houses, gutting the already compromised and weak EPA, placing corporate cronies and climate disruption deniers into powerful government positions, threatening thermonuclear war, actively destabilizing a Middle East that is already in flames...you get the idea.

Yet this is just a partial list of the litany of damage this narcissistic, mentally unstable president is causing.

In addition, his ongoing attacks against the media make it all too clear that the need for an independent press has never been so great.
Authoritarian regimes require silence and darkness within public consciousness to carry out their agendas.

The counterweight to this is a strong independent media.
