Trump 2025
I have been observing the actions of Mr. Trump and other Republicans in power and writing to my Republican representative when I notice something particularly egregious to my sensibilities, but generally I am taking the long view. Mr. Trump does not possess a particularly long attention span and does not read much, hence his history of chaotic, impulsive comments and proclamations. If one reads a list of his executive orders one finds a few good ones such as advocating for more healthcare pricing transparency, and a few truly bad ones like advocating for the burning of more coal. Yet the media tends to pick and choose what they headline in order to sensationalize their perspective, so it is more informative to me to pay attention to what members within the same party say to one another. To that end the local government here in Warren is predominantly Republican like in Washington, and I witness as much disagreement among them as in any group of people. So acquiring power is much easier than governing, and we shall see how all this settles out. In general the devil is in the details and actually implementing laws and proclamations is more complicated than making them. In the meantime continue to resist what offends you and do what is right for the planet and the future generations.
