President Donald Trump has been in office less than 30 days and his promise to become a “Dictator on Day One” is moving forward at breakneck speed. Democrats must develop a plan to stop Trump immediately or our 250 years old democracy will be lost forever.

Democrats have been sleep-walking as the most immoral and dumbest president in American history built an army of billionaire oligarchs, partisan judges, spineless GOP politicians, white supremacists and religious extremists. MAGA now controls all three branches of government.

Trump has nominated cabinet members and leaders of the military, foreign policy, treasury, justice and law enforcement who’re more loyal to him than the constitution. Their role is to destroy the institutions they’re leading so Trump and his oligarchs can control every aspect of government.

Democrats would be wise to recognize the pending disaster and create a trifecta of great leaders whose only job is to stop Trump in his tracks. The perfect choice for the toughest job since the first civil war would be Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama.

Average citizens will also be no match for Trump oligarchs Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg. Boycotting businesses that made them wealthy would be the only option. It’s difficult to estimate how much money Trump’s cronies have already made in the first 30 days.

The trifecta team may change the minds of true Christians but many of Trump’s religious supporters share his prejudices against minority groups. Their unholy alliance seems to justify acceptance of Trump’s daily lies over proven facts and wrong over right.
