Destroying things

 

The Trump Wrecking Crew

Old Kadizzle sits with his morning coffee and the New York Times. The daily pattern is hard to miss: Donald Trump doesn’t just bluster — he sabotages. He goes after industries, technologies, and people who dare to move the country forward, and he leaves wreckage in his wake.

Today’s story was railroads. Modernizing rail isn’t just about shiny new trains — it’s about taking thousands of trucks off our clogged highways, cutting pollution, and saving lives. Railroads could be a backbone of a cleaner, safer, and more efficient economy. But the man trying to lead that effort was fired because Trump didn’t like him. Progress halted, future delayed.

It’s the same with wind power. Every study shows it’s cost-effective, job-creating, and environmentally sound. But Trump mocks turbines because his donors in oil and gas whisper in his ear — and because he once thought they spoiled the view from one of his golf courses. So instead of leading the world in renewable energy, America stumbles backward while China and Europe sprint ahead.

And the media? Trump’s rich allies are buying up news outlets like candy. One by one, independent voices are silenced or converted into megaphones for propaganda. Before long, “news” will mean whatever the regime decides you’re allowed to hear.

We’ve seen this movie before. Mussolini destroyed unions to enrich his friends. Hitler strangled free journalism. Putin turned Russia into a playground for oligarchs. The script is familiar: choke innovation, crush dissent, and funnel wealth to the loyal.

Trump isn’t hiding it — he’s acting it out in plain sight. Every time he kneecaps a clean energy project, fires a reformer, or sells another industry to his cronies, he hollows out democracy a little further.

This isn’t just about trains, or turbines, or newspapers. It’s about whether we let a corrupt strongman and his enablers decide America’s future.

The termites are chewing, but the house hasn’t fallen yet. That part is up to us. We can organize, we can speak up, and above all, we can vote. If we don’t, we’ll wake up one morning to find the lights still on, the coffee still warm — but the democracy gone.
