Donald Trump has been President for eight weeks, and it has been more than four months since he was elected the 45th President.
In those 56 days since he was inaugurated, Trump has created more tumult and disarray than any President in American history.
In so doing, he has had a deleterious effect on the physical health, mental state, and sense of security of tens of millions of Americans.
Cardiologists have reported that more of their patients have come in with heart palpitations and worse.
High blood pressure has become more common, and mental depression has worsened dramatically.
And the sense of security has deteriorated for African Americans, Latinos, Muslims, Jews, liberals, and the news media, as white supremacy, racism, antisemitism, and nativism have been encouraged by Donald Trump, Stephen Bannon, Stephen Miller, and others on the Trump staff.
Foreign nations have become unnerved about Trump’s weird and unstable behavior, and therefore, nations which are our closest allies–Great Britain, Germany, Australia, Canada, Japan–and other nations as well, have become concerned about the future foreign relations with Trump, as he is a revolutionary ready to destroy the international system.
War seems more likely, particularly with North Korea and Iran, as if we need another war to enrich corporations and the defense industry, and we see Trump promoting attacks on the environment, the safety net, and even the organization of the federal executive branch.
