There’s a reason why people are calling this Jim Crow 2.0. This REALLY IS plainly an effort to drag us back to the the post reconstruction era after the civil war…”😳

LET THIS SINK IN—the U.S. now has no confirmed CDC director, no FDA commissioner, no Surgeon General, an NIH director with no medical license, and the last Acting CDC Director was a George Bush speechwriter. In fact—the only doctor/scientist we have in the White House is… Dr Oz.

The White House says they will “ID & neutralize” secular political groups that are anti-American, “radically pro-transgender” & anarchist. It declares Anarchists & Anti-Fascists as a major terror group. Presidential Foreword ends with “We Will Find You & We Will Kill You.”

Breaking: Two Trump White House officials were caught on a hidden camera, per @JamesOKeefeIII The First is Maxim Lott, Special Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy Second is Benjamin Ellisten, Senior Budget Analyst and Fund Manager for the White House They admitted: • Trump is using $1B of tax payer money to retrofit his new plane • Domestic policy decisions are made based on what "feels like a good idea" • No formal cost-benefit analysis exists for major policy calls • Staff bypass the Oval Office and act on their own interpretation of Trump's preferences • Ellisten called Trump "a madman" and said "We've got to get rid of him" There appears to be people in the White House acting on Trumps behalf without his direct approval
