A Day Without Trump

What would it be like having a day without Trump in it?

For starters our judicial system wouldn't have to hear any cases involving Trump.

Judges across the country would take a sigh of relief not to have Trump targeting them for impeachment because they won't break laws for him.

Law firms would be free to represent whoever they chose without the threat of having Trump take away all access from federal buildings or bringing federal cases to court. 

It would be a day free of holding lawyers' ransom because they opposed Trump's views on the constitution, or they committed the cardinal sin of representing clients suing Trump in the past for trying to commit a coup.

Federal employees would get relief from dealing with DOGE's Gestapo unit storming through their offices and demanding personal loyalty pledges verified by a lie detector test. 

A whole day of not worrying about if they're going to get fired or laid off.  

Senior citizens would enjoy 24-hours of peace of mind about their Social Security and 401 Ks. Their concern about healthcare benefits being eliminated would vanish during that special day.

Legal immigrants would not have to worry about being swept away by Trump stormtroopers ignoring the laws of the land and illegally deporting them to hell on earth - a Salvadorian maximum-security prison - where a dictator rules and who just happens to be Trump's buddy.

The mainstream media would be able to report the news without fear of Trump going after them because they reported on one of his many crimes against American democracy. Newspaper editors wouldn't have to hold stories or opinion pieces because of fear of being fired by a cowardly publisher in Trump's back pocket. They would be no Trump to fear on that fateful day. 

Scientists and researchers would not be minimalized by Trump directing his flying monkeys (science deniers) to challenge facts and vaccines.

People of color would be treated with respect and their culture would be celebrated instead of being reviled by the Trump regime. Americans wouldn't arbitrarily be hunted down because they were black, Asian, or brown. 

A day without Trump would be a blessing where reality would hold sway instead of being challenged by lies and misinformation every day. For 1440 minutes the chaos in this country would subside and everyone would exhale and chill out. For 86,400 seconds the hate factor being nourished by Trump would diminish and people would get along better.

My inspiration for this post was a movie I saw years ago - A Day without Mexicans - which cleverly showed how much the United States needs them.

As it Stands, I think it goes without saying life for Americans would be a lot easier if we didn't have Trump seizing our democracy and turning our country into an autocracy.
