It's going to be a real challenge celebrating the holidays this season.
As Thanksgiving approaches many Americans are struggling financially and are in food lines.
The likelihood that they'll enjoy a big turkey dinner is slim. Naturally that makes it hard for people to be in the holiday spirit. Hunger will do that. Food insecurity is a nationwide challenge this season.
But don't tell that to Trump. He's busy trying to con people with claims that Walmart is serving Thanksgiving meals that cost less than they did a year ago. Like that's some sort of economic hallmark. The fact is those meals have 50% less items in them this season.
Out of sheer meanness (there's no other explanation) Trump has punished Americans by taking away programs like SNAP and going to the Supreme Court to seek relief against paying the money to refund the biggest food assistance program in the country.
Americans aren't preparing to give Christmas presents this season, their more concerned with making the rent or mortgage, and the cost of food. Thanks to Trump's tariffs the cost of gifts is skyrocketing with no end in sight.
I'm expecting to see people protesting the economy not singing carols in quiet Hallmark-like neighborhoods.
It's difficult to be in the holiday spirit as Trump's goons roam neighborhoods in cities across the land, illegally kidnapping brown people without warrants and sending them to concentration camps that are rapidly multiplying in America.
Immigrant families are staying indoors for fear of being disappeared by masked men and women bearing semi-automatic rifles.
In this time of year when many religions are celebrating holy holidays churches can't even provide sanctuary from government Gestapo agents violating all societal norms.
Families won't be talking about Santa Claus visiting The White House. They know the jolly old elf was probably deported back to the Ice Pole by evil elf Stephen Miller.
The Grinch is firmly entrenched in the Oval Office and the only thing he cares about is making the Epstein files scandal disappear. He's hoping for a Christmas miracle.
As it Stands, Americans are also hoping for a miracle. That Trump disappears and that his Maga minions are brought to justice.
