You are in no position to influence him. Those people he's been palling around with are lining up for administration appointments as we speak. Also, I must have missed the part about "lessening of the military industrial complex." What I recall is, "I am the toughest guy. I will rebuild our military. It will be so strong, and so powerful, and so great." |
Sure we are. We all are. We are the media now. Or at least we have the ability to be. We actually can influence stuff. I'm not saying he is going to be successful, but he wants to rebuild infrastructure and pull back from being the world's police. Raising our voice and saying keep your promise is meaningful.
Maybe you don't know Trump supporters. I know a lot. It's nuts how many people in my life support Trump. If you also know those people it's important to not let them off the hook.
Write your congress person. Daily. Make sure they hold him accountable.
Assuming that you don't have the power just means you are giving up.
