I'm applying for my part of the Trump Slush Fund

It’s time to stake a claim in the new $1.776 billion slush fund for those targeted unfairly by the government.

I will accept nothing less than $5 million for:

1. the fact that every day I have to be living with the shame of being an American;
2. that my subscription to media outlets I had formerly enjoyed now are brim full with the evil committed by a salacious regime only moderately acquainted with the Constitution or the nation’s history;
3. that their attorney generals selectively and painfully slowly follow court orders;
4. that the above have caused me to turn to solving the Friday and Saturday NYT crossword puzzles, which I had previously ignored, as a form of distraction;
5. that my social media accounts have been flooded to the point of uselessness. Faceless bots or simply humans either being paid, part of a cult, or otherwise lacking in empathy seem to dominate some forums.

My emotional suffering is made the more sharp when I had seen the fascism coming for some time. Well before that show The Apprentice, where Trump and B-list actors would make fools of themselves on some network, Trump was calling for the U.S. to invade Iran for oil and to execute four black men for a crime they would later be exonerated for, thanks to DNA. The racism runs deep in Trump. Almost as deep as his greed.
