Refocus

Trump's tweets are empty calories.  The national health depends on us not spoiling our appetite.  You can eat just one.   After you spit out the narcissism there is nothing left, not even a hint of truth.

The meaty stories are in the cabinet.  You have the head of the EPA, who between bouts of graft, is dismantling environmental protections.  Multiple cabinet members including, fired HHS secretary Tom Price, have used military planes as a private shuttle service, costing tax payers millions.  HUD Secretary, Ben Carson, cares more about beautifying his office than housing the poor.

Hard to Vos over the ignorance of the Secretary of Education, whose only policy agenda is to put more profit in, often fraudulent, for profit schools.  The fired National Security Advisor was an agent of a foreign government.  The current office holder was an architect of the structurally unsound Iraq War.  

The Attorney General is recreating the halcyon injustices of the 1950s.  Standing beside the cabinet is Stephen Miller, preaching xenophobia.  Standing above the cabinet are the Trump and Kushner families, adjusting policies for anyone who will feed the voracious capital appetites of their businesses.

The robin may go tweet, tweet, tweet.  Ignore him.  Focus on the termites destroying the institutional foundations of our republic.
