Let’s stop pretending we’re living in a normal country with a normal administration. Because we’re not. And if you’re feeling rage, confusion, or like this whole thing is some kind of deranged simulation—you’re not wrong. This administration is running on lies, spinning reality like a roulette wheel, and pretending 31.8% of eligible voters gave them a divine mandate. Spoiler: they didn’t.
This isn’t just policy differences. This is systematic gaslighting—and it’s time we broke it down, point by fucking point.
🗳️ “The People Overwhelmingly Elected You” – A Literal Lie
Attorney General Pam Bondi recently said Trump was “overwhelmingly elected by the biggest majority.”
✖️ False. Trump received 77.3 million votes in 2024. ✔️ That’s 31.8% of eligible American voters. ✔️ Nearly 70% of Americans either voted for someone else or didn’t vote at all.
No mandate. No overwhelming support. Just an Electoral College win and a carefully controlled PR machine. This is tail-wagging-the-dog propaganda—and it’s being repeated daily.
🌍 “Extraordinary Diplomacy in Ukraine” – You Mean Capitulation?
J.D. Vance claimed the administration had engaged in “extraordinary diplomacy” in Ukraine.
✔️ Reality: They pressured Ukraine to accept a ceasefire ceding land to Russia. ✔️ Reality: They’ve echoed Russian narratives, downplayed NATO, and backed off U.S. commitments.
This isn’t diplomacy. It’s coercion—and it betrays both Ukraine and every American who still believes in standing by allies.
🧊 The Hiring Freeze: Efficiency or Sabotage?
They extended the federal hiring freeze until July 2025, with a 1-for-4 replacement policy.
✔️ Yes, it’s real. ❌ But no, it won’t save significant money. ❌ It will slow down essential government services, cripple agencies, and make it harder for working-class people to get jobs.
This isn’t fiscal responsibility—it’s institutional hollowing.
🌊 Opening Protected Waters to Commercial Fishing
They reopened the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument to commercial fishing.
✔️ Might temporarily benefit a few U.S. fishing fleets. ❌ Undermines decades of conservation efforts. ❌ Risks long-term ecological and economic damage.
Why? To feed a talking point about deregulation—at the cost of marine biodiversity.
💊 Drug Prices: Smoke, Mirrors, and Delays
They brag about lowering drug prices. The executive order?
✔️ Delays Medicare negotiation for small-molecule drugs. ✔️ Tries to reheat the drug importation idea. ❌ Provides no immediate relief.
Translation? Kick the can down the road while pretending to care. Meanwhile, you’re still paying $600 for insulin.
🪨 Section 232 and Critical Minerals
Trump initiated a Section 232 investigation into foreign dependence on critical minerals.
✔️ Legally sound. ❌ Historically used to justify tariffs that enrich connected industries. ❌ Could spark trade conflicts or raise domestic costs.
It’s another case of: maybe a good idea, executed by people with zero credibility.
🧾 SSA Crackdown: Fraud or Fear Tactic?
The memo on preventing “illegal aliens” from collecting Social Security?
❌ There’s no evidence this is happening. ✔️ Undocumented immigrants already can’t collect benefits. ✔️ They do contribute billions in payroll taxes.
This is a scare tactic—plain and simple. It’s a way to sow distrust and rally a base addicted to anti-immigrant rhetoric.
🧑💼 Procurement Reforms: Deregulation Disguised as “Efficiency”
Trump’s executive orders to strip down procurement rules?
✔️ Will help big contractors like Amazon, Oracle, and Palantir. ❌ Will hurt small businesses and increase chances of cronyism. ❌ Reduce oversight and invite corruption.
It’s deregulation for the donor class. Plain and simple.
💣 Add It All Up
None of these actions live in a vacuum. They are pieces of a puzzle, and when you put them together, you see the full picture:
- Consolidation of power.
- Erosion of accountability.
- Hollowing out of public institutions.
- Replacement of facts with loyalty pledges.
- International retreat masked as nationalism.
- A daily gaslighting operation that turns truth into an optional accessory.
This isn’t just political spin—it’s the infrastructure of authoritarianism being built in real time.
We can’t afford to be polite. We can’t afford to normalize this. We have to call it what it is:
A full-scale assault on democracy, truth, and human decency.
And if we’re going down, let’s go down telling the truth.
Loudly.
