"Enemies of the people"

The USA and the world have soon endured a month of the tRump-Bannon regime and things have been going downhill very fast. There has been:

• Outright lies regarding both small and large items
• Attacks on science and rolling back of environmental regulations 
• Racism and xenophobia as evidenced by the immigration ban 
• Cosying up with big banks and limiting of financial regulations  
• Attempts to undermine the juridical system

So much is being trumpeted from the White House that it creates the notion that the massive flow of (dis)information is purposely used to obscure the really bad ideas and objectives. 

From just looking at the covers of some of the major, well established and mainstream magazines it is clear that both in the US and internationally the new Washington rulers are looked upon with both contempt and fascination. How could the American be conned into electing this man? 

Even if the courts blocking of tRumps immigration ban and a national security advisor being sacked due to his close relationship with Russia shows that there are [still] limits to his power, the worst may yet to come: "From health care and tax policy to environmental protections, this will undoubtedly be a government of the looters, by the looters, and for the looters”. 

This weeks bizarre press conference has also increased both the speculations on tRumps mental health and his need of enemies. On Twitter tRump has continued with his direct threats to the freedom of the press by labelling the “enemies of the people”. This is a vocabulary used by the likes of Robespierre during the French revolution, where such branding lead to a quick march towards the guillotine; and later by both Lenin and Hitler.

Even more revealing is the bizarre “poll” that was being sent out by email under the name of the “mainstream media accountability survey”. Here, the questions are so slanted that it should only be possible to come up with a for the republican party “correct” answer.

But when people still managed to fill in “unwanted” answers, an new email was sent out asking for more replies since apparently even Democratic voters have had the bad manners to fill in the survey. 

This seems to be in line with how tRump would want to change the US population to a group not listening to bad ideas. Clearly there is a risk for winter in America.

PS

A late update after reading about tRumps "rally" in Florida where his twisted imagination apparently had conjured some kind of incident in Sweden yesterday. Well, since I live here, I can and know what (did not) happen, I can just conclude that the US president is either delusional, drugged, demented, diseased or any combination of the above.
