He hears the cries of individuals and agencies at home and around the world about the consequences of the humanitarian disaster and financial and security crisis he has created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When food, education, and disease control programs are purged at the stroke of his monster pen, the world\u2019s most vulnerable suffer most.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump follows the news and sees the same desperate faces as we do\u2014kids who are hungry and sick, whose families have lost their livelihood and support programs, young people robbed of their future and grandparents who thought they had security for their old age but are watching their pensions and savings eaten away daily.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These aren\u2019t just someone else\u2019s kids in some distant part of the world. They include American kids raised to the tune of the Star-Spangled Banner and told they live in the greatest, most prosperous and righteous of all countries in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Reacting to the financial chaos he has wrought, Trump says, \u201cthis is a good time to get rich.\u201d Maybe for your bigshot friends, Donald, but not for mine.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One can\u2019t help wondering what it\u2019s like when the tyrant leaves the Oval Office and calls it a day after signing away people\u2019s lives and hopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supposedly, he throws off his tailored navy suit, removes his orange makeup, perhaps detaches part of his hair and tries to relax after another tiring day of conjuring chaos, fear, anger and oppression.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is there a waiting wife to ask, \u201cand how was your day, dear?\u201d Does she ever suggest maybe he should reconsider his tariff obsession? All the job cuts that are turning Washington into one long bread line? The need to appoint at least one sane and moderate advisor and cabinet secretary? Or, is the First Lady on the same Kool-Aid diet as everyone else in Trump\u2019s orbit?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps before bed they have a reading from Project 2025, the central policy book that produced the road map for Trump\u2019s return to the White House and the cult\u2019s grand scheme to reorder the world\u2014at any cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It must be easier when the First Family is at their Florida residence. There, Trump can hop into his golf cart and relax on his private golf course and hobnob with guests selected from the world\u2019s biggest names in sports, entertainment, politics and commerce who come to kiss the ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Hello, Wayne Gretsky. You\u2019re a great guy but your choice of friends stinks.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who displease the master pay a high price. Just ask former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau whose obeisance in his presence apparently came up short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no limits to Trump\u2019s pomposity. It was truly one of those \u201clet them eat cake\u201d moments recently on an especially disastrous day for the stock market. Amid the panic, Trump closed up shop early and strutted off to the first tee.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several of Trump\u2019s acolytes are truly mind boggling in their arrogance and lack of empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is especially chilling that leaders like Marco Rubio, the powerful Secretary of State who was once regarded among the moderates of U.S. politics, have morphed into Trump sycophants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a vocal proponent of international aid as a means to world order, humanitarianism, disease control, famine prevention, and security, Rubio now preaches a retreat from internationalism, just as Project 2025 decreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Coincidentally, closer to home, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre pledges on the campaign trail that, if elected, he\u2019ll cut Canada\u2019s foreign aid program.)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under Rubio\u2019s direction, USAID is dead, its money and workers gone from fighting hunger and oppression, the spread of HIV\/AIDS and other public health crises. Children are among those suddenly cut off from food, shelter, security measures and medical aid such as vaccines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many hoped Republican members of Congress would listen to the buyers\u2019 remorse of constituents who voted for Trump and now want their elected representatives to stand up to him. But few have done so for fear of retribution that will block their re-election in the months to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cartoonists have had a field day with the Trump team. \u201cAppoint clowns and get a circus\u201d is a popular theme to describe Trump\u2019s choice of cabinet appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That would be funny if the reality isn\u2019t so stark and painful. Few have any experience or expertise in the major positions they now control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sledgehammer approach to cutting government spending has been pitiful with little or no consultation and indiscriminate elimination of vital programs and staff and irreparable loss of expertise and experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(The reported exodus of scientists, doctors and other skills from the U.S. to Canada to escape Trumpism is at least one benefit we\u2019ll reap from all this.)&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the \u201cclowns\u201d Trump enlisted to help him create his brave new world is Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the eccentric anti-vaxxer who was named U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Kennedy has finally admitted the vaccine is \u201cthe most effective way to prevent the spread of measles,\u201d he has resisted mounting a campaign to encourage parents to get their kids vaccinated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The measles, mumps and rubella vaccine has been used safely for more than 60 years and after two doses is 97 per cent effective against the highly contagious and deadly disease for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>World-wide, measles had been declared eliminated. But there is currently a resurgence in several countries, including Canada, since vaccination rates started dropping off\u2014partly the result of influence by crusading anti-vaxxers like Kennedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The very fact that the measles outbreak has seriously worsened under Kennedy\u2019s watch is a travesty.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, as measles cases double in the U.S. over cases in 2024, Kennedy was in Gaines County, Texas, where he went to comfort families at the funerals for two young children who died of the complication of measles.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk about putting the fox in charge of the hen house! Now, Secretary Kennedy wants to ban fluoride in drinking water\u2014a move dentists warn will be catastrophic, especially for kids from poor families who can\u2019t afford dental care.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">This isn\u2019t a circus, folks.\u00a0 It\u2019s a hideous nightmare with no end in sight.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"301\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2020\/10\/Sally-Barnes.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-90772\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>Sally&nbsp;Barnes has enjoyed a distinguished career as a writer, journalist and author.
