ROBERT FORMAN: What the resident of the White House is up to these days

iI's their own taxes they are interested in lowering

It is becoming obvious to me what the resident of the White House is up to these days.

One. He is interested in stripping down, governmental institutions, no matter how useful or valid they may be.

Two. He is interested in buying Greenland, Panama or Gaza.

First, it seems to me that the rush to reduce the size of government has one purpose, and one purpose only: to lower the taxes that support it. When you think about the tax bill they passed some years ago, he/they are interested in lowering the taxes of very rich people. Mr. Trump and his family are the very rich people to which it is really aimed, unless I miss my guess. The fact that other billionaires will profit from lowered taxes is a  side benefit for them. A happy side benefit perhaps.  But it’s their own taxes they are interested in lowering.

Two, Trump is interested in kicking Gazens out Because He is thinking he personally will make it into a Riviera, which he of course will own. He gave this away when he said I will make it into the Riviera. So he is looking for land. So that he himself can profit!

No matter who it hurts or how much inconvenience there may be for other people he has driven by one sentence: Lower my taxes, and give me land to develop!

Talk about corrupt!

DATELINE STOCKBRIDGE: Part Two — Our history can guide us

If we stand together in the doorway of the federal building where some kids under orders from a billionaire are trying to fire people, we are probably doing as much as is necessary. To stop the steal? No, to stem the tide.

STEPHEN COHEN: Florence and America

The way to stop Trump is simple: Fight him in the courts and mobilize to develop policies and spokesmen and -women to change the composition of the House and Senate in two years. Easy to say but hard to do.
