Trump's forgotten people

The President has now delivered his tremendous, beautiful, tax cut Christmas present to the American people.

Now he and the Republicans have to sell the tax bill to Trump's forgotten people.

In the campaign, Trump championed America's forgotten men and women to the hilt. Trump ran as a Republican, competed in the Republican primaries, and focused his attention on the forgotten people on the Republican side.

Bernie Sanders championed America's forgotten people on the Democratic side, but Hillary Clinton became the Democratic nominee, and Bernie Sanders could not carry on his fight as a Presidential candidate.

Many of Bernie Sanders' forgotten people decided to take a chance and voted for Trump.

After being elected President, Trump could have dedicated himself to championing all the forgotten people, Republican, Democrat and independent.

There was, however, a big problem for Trump to do that. Not only was Trump's win a surprise, it was also a surprise that the Republicans won the Senate and the House.

Now, everyone knows the Republicans in control of the Senate and House do not champion America's forgotten men and women, and those Republicans are not going to pass a health care law or a tax cut bill that looks out for the forgotten men and women in the country.

Trump knows that the Republicans are not champions of his forgotten men and women, but he allied with the Republicans in his quest to show he can "get things done."

Trump could not tell his forgotten men and women that the Republicans he was going in with would not be be championing them and would not be looking out for them.

To the contrary, and true to form, Trump lied to his forgotten people that the health care law he was pushing with the Republicans, and the tax cut bill he and the Republicans passed, do look out for Trump's forgotten people.

The Republicans are hardly going to contradict the lies that Trump is telling his forgotten people that he  is looking after them.

So, Trump and the Republicans are locked arm in arm to purvey and defend the Trumpian lies.

Will Trump's forgotten men and women continue to believe Trump cares about them and is looking out for them and other things Trump tells them during the next 11 months?

If Trump's forgotten people conclude that Trump conned them, they will surely take it out on the Republicans in November.

Keep tuned.
