Trumps Cabinet

These are the faces of our current government cabinet, people from all different backgrounds and educations all voted to help our president run the country. Some people are not too highly thrilled about some of the choices of our president due to the cabinet members questionable background or current actions. For example our current vice president mike pence has made a large amount of questionable choices in his past. He had previously supported the funding of camps for homosexuals to "cure" them, these camps use electroshock therapy as treatment for normal good people. He also recently attended a Indianapolis colts football game and walked out of the game after the anthem was played, He said "I left todays Colts game because @POTUS and I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our Flag, or our National Anthem". while the players of this game are using their rights too free speech it bothers some that he is annoyed by people using their own constitutional rights. The other most questionable choice of cabinet member, is former Texas gov Rick Perry. He has been elected as head of the department of energy, the reason this comes off is odd is because he previously lobbied for the department of energy to be disbanded. Ernist Moniz, the person who previously held this position was a renowned nuclear physicist with years of relevant experience, and Perry is well just a politician from Texas. Steven Mnuchin the newly elected secretary of the treasury is a banker but has 0 days of political experience in his entire life. This cabinet is already being called one of the worst cabinets of American history.

Jackson Still Around?

Now obviously Jackson is not physically walking around the white house he still seems to have a large influence. Recently our president trump toured Andrew Jacksons home and said he relates with our former president. While many called him out for this comment I do see quite a few similarities in the two. Jackson much like Trump had a bit of a grudge against a certain group of people aka the native Americans, much like trumps grudge with the Mexican citizens. ( They don't wanna pay for the wall, who can blame them) Jackson forcibly removed Indians from their homeland and shipped them off to a place they have never been, sounds a bit familiar? Trump is taking illegal immigrants that were born in America or brought over at a very young age whos parents were also illegals and sending them "back to Mexico" even though they have never been there before.

So both presidents have a bit of history of legally sending people away to homes they have never been. Andrew Jacksons influence still ring through the halls of congress, plus the whole twenty dollar bill debacle that's an article all on its own. Many people see trump as following in Jacksons footsteps which may not be as good of a thing as some people hope.

The Great Wall

Donald trump, a name that has not stopped being spoken since 2015 when he said he was running for president. Surely someone with such little likability would never be president of the united states.

Well fast forward to 2017 and trump is running the country for almost a year now and has fallen a bit behind in all of the things he promised. "The Great Wall of Trump" as some called it was his major promise during presidency. But alas trump has not spoken a word about his wonderful wall since taking office, which has left many of his voters a bit skeptical on his promises. For many his wall was a symbol for his strong stance against illegal immigration and making America great again. Crazy as some of his ideas may seem they do have valid points, illegal immigration is a huge problem in our country, now I'm not saying we shouldn't allow the folks from other necks of the woods in I do feel that we need to be realistic about the types of folk we do bring into our country.
