The news coming out of the mid-June meeting between Trump and Kim Jong-Un from Republicans, Fox News, and Trump enablers is emblematic of the reason why Trump envies Kim and North Korea.  Lies, misinformation and propaganda about the results of the "summit" like you'd see on state-run television in that country, one where Kim executes family members he dislikes.

The Trump administration, led by corporate-owned Ryan Zinke ruining the Department of Interior, is at it again.  Previously in April 2018, they removed Endangered Species Act protections for Yellowstone grizzly bears after more than 42 years on the endangered species list.

Republicans screamed at the top of their lungs for eight years under President Obama about budget deficits and our national debt.  They blamed him for bank bailouts initiated before his term.  They shot down incredibly vital stimulus plans to bring our economy out of a total collapse and, you know, make America great again.

Candidate Trump had a populist tone to every campaign rally, banging the drum for jobs.  Although all candidates and politicians say many empty statements, Trump's delivery worked.  The focus on jobs caused millions to vote for him, thinking he was actually going to implement policies to help them.  They did not realize that he had no intent to do so.  They bought the lie and we all pay the price.

As you may remember from an earlier post on Smart Dissent, Trump signed an Executive Order back in January 2017 prohibiting international organizations that support or provide education on abortions from receiving U.S. taxpayer dollars. Prohibiting funds from going to these organizations is known as the Mexico City Policy, which isn't supposed to go into full effect until later this year.
