Be Outraged with Me: Rob from the Poor for Tax Breaks for the Rich

By Mort Kondracke

The “One Big Beautiful Bill” that Donald Trump got the House to pass is 1,116 pages big, but scarcely beautiful. It hurts lower income Americans while benefiting rich ones and adds big time to the national debt.

That’s just one of Trump’s latest outrages. Proving once again that he’s both a racist and a liar, he ambushed the president of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa in the White House Oval Office with news cameras rolling and falsely charged that white South Africans are victims of genocide.

He played a video that showed hundreds of crosses he falsely claimed were burial sites of white farmers. The footage actually memorialized the death of one white couple, but also of all victims of violence in the country. White murders represent between 1.8 and 2.7 of that violent country’s total whereas in 2013, blacks constituted 81% of all murder victims.

He has also repeatedly exhibited the classic character trait of an authoritarian personality—treating persons he deems beneath him with contempt while fawning over allegedly more powerful or favored persons.
