President Plutocrat is disconnected and disengaged from the American People. Republicans are clearly out of touch, which is no surprise considering the billionaire background of Trump’s gilded cabinet, whom overwhelmingly represent the desires of the white and wealthy.
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, advised people to simply get a loan, seemingly confused as to why government employees would need to use food banks, as a result of not being paid.

The wealth gap is vast and growing in America, the current government shutdown has placed a spotlight on this crisis, which has been ignored far too long. Approximately 80% of people live paycheck to paycheck, yet those in power are disillusioned, unable to relate nor understand what it means to work, earn, and pay bills.
Trump has no clue what the state of the union is – he stumbles forward, epitomizing the apathetic pride that comes with inherit privilege, as his concern with ego over ethics remains on full display. America literally cannot afford President Plutocrat’s petty pride. Working people of all hues plan on a paycheck not a portfolio.
