The battle for the soul of America has commenced a mere two weeks after Donald Trump was inaugurated for his second occupation of the White House. And the attacks orchestrated by Trump and his MAGA minions are landing like cluster bombs, destroying everything in the vicinity and blowing up innocent people who are only trying to live their lives in peace.

The early stages of the Trump war against America have proven to be grotesquely anti-American, and severely harmful to citizens throughout the country. The broad reach of Trump’s terror campaign will adversely impact every American family. But it also takes aim more directly at the civil servants who keep the government running to serve the people who pay for it. These truths have surely contributed to Trump’s unprecedented unpopularity.

Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia was interviewed Sunday morning on CBS’s Face the Nation. The discussion included an assessment of the damage that Trump is intentionally inflicting on the nation that he cares nothing about, except as a source of wealth and power for himself and his oligarch backers. Warner noted that the Trump administration’s stated goal is to “traumatize” federal workers, which he is carrying out right now.
“We’ve got chaos on steroids going on. We heard from Trump’s OMB, for example, that he wanted to ‘traumatize’ federal workers. Well, that is happening. And these workers are the folks that inspect our fruit, our milk, our eggs. What happens if they all quit?”

Good question! The problem is that Trump’s atrocious agenda will also traumatize all American citizens, because he and his billionaire klan couldn’t care less and won’t be affected. The craving for trauma was explicitly articulated by the Project 2025 author, and Trump’s nominee to head the Office of Management and Budget, Russel Vought, who said that…
“We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected. When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains…We want to put them in trauma.”
Imagine saying that about the people that you expect to show up for work on behalf of millions of Americans who rely on them for everything from Social Security and Medicare administration, to food inspections, to child welfare, to transportation safety, to national security.
The Trump Mafia has effectively declared war on the American government and, thus, the American people. And that war is already seeing horrendous casualties. They are evident in his recent orders to oppress the media that he regards as “the enemy of the people.” He promises to…
- Purge the free press from the Pentagon in favor of MAGA friendly propagandists.
- Plant pro-Trump crackpots in the White House press room.
- Delete the database of January 6th rioters criminal charges and convictions.
- Forgo 100’s of billions in revenue by letting wealthy tax cheaters off the hook.
- Jail the January 6th Committee and pardon January 6th rioters.
Not to mention Trump’s full-on onslaught against democracy and the government institutions that support it by…
- Implementing a Federal spending freeze that starves critical services of necessary funding.
- Firing Prosecutors and FBI agents who worked on the January 6th Capitol attack and Trump-related investigations
- Investigating NPR and PBS, with an eye toward unraveling federal funding for all public broadcasting.
- Locking career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal information of millions of federal workers.
And that’s just a sampling of Trump’s two week barrage against America. The latest assault is his imposition of tariffs on our allies and neighbors, Mexico and Canada, that already pose a big risk of “lifting already-high consumer prices at the grocery store, rocking the shaky stock market or killing jobs in a full-blown trade war.” That’s an incredibly stupid move that the Wall Street Journal calls “The Dumbest Trade War in History,” and even Fox News condemned as an inflationary burden on American consumers…
