Commentary on the news report

DEI (the acronym for diversity, equity and inclusion, also the equivalent of the USA motto of E Pluribus Unum) means equal opportunity in employment-hiring and educational-matriculation consideration and selection irrespective of the race, color, gender, creed, religion or national origin of applicants for employment with an employer or admission to an educational institution, especially one of higher learning such as a college or university. Trump and the MAGA GOP are against equal opportunity in these regards and societal socioeconomic pluralism. Rather, they are for white-preference and dominance monocentricism, reversion of the USA back to it, to what was termed WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, extending to all of white British heritage) dominated and largely run USA prior to the 1960s, during and after which the USA became strongly ethnically plural, among white people, in its governance and economics, including with Irish, Germans, Nordics, Italians, Jews and miscellaneous, but always appreciably WASP-assimilated Dutch and French. The predecessor of Trumpian MAGA in recent times was right-wing media's condemnation of and crusade against multiculturalism and social pluralism, exactly the same as their favoring and advocating for white-preference and dominance monocentricism, or such monocultural-centricism in all walks of political, educational, religious (Christian), cultural and socioeconomic life in society. Multiculturalism and pluralism diminutively mean to them multiculturalism and pluralism that are not summarily white, Christian (name-brand, flexible Christian or, tolerably for them, Western secularism) and capitalist. Trump even personally entreated the commissioners of the NFL and MLB to end DEI, meaning purge black people from participation and presence of every kind in these sports and consequently in related sports media, in which his entreaties were unsuccessful. He may have done the same to no avail with the NBA, IOC (the International Olympic Commission governing international Olympic sports) and FIFA (in English translation the International Federation of Football Association, in which internationally football is the term Americans of the USA use for soccer) and may try yet with colleges and universities. However, he is reported to have readily gotten acquiescence from the McDonald's Corp. and Target Corp., unlike the companies Costco and Goldman Sachs Bank that swiftly rejected that bigoted, unethical and illegal racially discriminatory request.

The Trump MAGA Presidency has also fired, terminated the employment of, top black American officials throughout the federal government, including, of questionable legality, the Ph.D. librarian of the Library of Congress, a woman, has ordered federal agencies to end DEI practices and remove multicultural and historical pluralism representation media and instruction in and from them, including in the US armed forces, and to reinstate to US military bases the names of Civil War Confederacy generals in armed rebellion against the Constitutional Bill-of-Rights Republic of the USA, whose names, to the best of my immediate recall, were removed by a legislative act of Congress, in which only the US Congress can make federal law, mint new law that is not in the US Constitution nor in violation of or prohibited by the US Constitution, and renamed since then with the names of honorable or honorable and heroic persons loyal to the Constitutional Bill-of-Rights (our democratic rights) Republic of the USA and Trump issued an executive order authorizing contractors with the federal government to, albeit illegally, racially segregate in violation of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution and a 1954 Supreme Court ruling affirming that racial segregation laws and practices in government institutions or affiliated entities were in violation of the 14th Amendment provision of equal protection [and rights] under the law of all citizens/persons [in the USA], and thus illegal [and null and void], and wherein the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1968 outlawed racial discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodations, including business offerings and services. Now and since the resurgence of MAGA, virtually every time there is a disaster lately in the USA, the MAGA media and lynch mob cry out "DEI," as the cause and culprit, as in the rash of Trump-MAGA-policies responsible airplane crashes in or of the USA, except for a helicopter only crash that was piloted by a highly experienced and competent black man who until then had a perfect flying record but whose helicopter, with passengers, descended and crashed, killing all occupants, without an explanation then, as for the current flood deaths in Kerr County, Texas, an white affluent county with no black public officials, but forgetting to also blame DEI for the reckless and pointless deaths of military servicemen in Lithuania and North Africa under the Trump-Hegseth command of US armed forces, as well as of the two multimillion-dollar US fighter jets from a US aircraft-carrier ship that fell or were shot down and plunged into the deep water off of the coast of Yemen recently.

Moreover, MAGA educated-fool, corruption-aura and racial demagogue Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida went so far as to blame, a few years back, woke and DEI for the bank meltdown series and collapses of Silicon Valley Bank, Olde Republic Bank and Signature Bank, whose boards of directors and executives were white and whose personnel were primarily white. MAGA DeSantis, a demagogue, like Trump, always frothing at the mouth for a scapegoat with which to juice, gin up and incite the madcap MAGA lynch mob, even proclaimed and argued that slavery of black people was good for them. Aside from the said smokescreen, using the code or dog-whistle terms woke and DEI as substitute words for Afro-heritage black people, rhetorical and political race warfare against such Afro black people by DeSantis, antidemocracy DeSantis attempted as governor of Florida around the time of the 2022 midterm US Congressional and national elections to contravene the unalienable US Constitutional First Amendment freedom of the press and related freedom of speech rights of private enterprise internet social media hosting and publishing platforms, with the constitutionally legal rights to set their own terms of service for users and associate with or not with whomever, or whatever entities, of their choosing and dictate to and command some of them, with threats of multi-thousands of dollars daily fines, to reinstate service to and host political leaders, including Trump, involved in or associated as instigators with the 01-06-2021 insurrectionist attempt to two-pronged violently overthrow and administratively disrupt and corrupt the ceremonial certification of the Electoral College electoral vote count by the two houses of the US Congress and vice president overturn the November of 2020 election of candidate Joe Biden as the new, incoming US president. Needless to say, the platforms filed a law suit in federal district court against anti-Constitutional, anti-US America and legal-system-weaponizer, bluffer DeSantis, whose orders were summarily found in court to be in violation of the affected social media platforms' First Amendment freedom of the press and speech rights (to accept or reject speech and speakers, discretionarily, like any other publisher, be it a book, magazine, movie, music, stage, etc.). He conducted a woke and DEI purge campaign of the entire state government of Florida and thereafter against Disney World in Florida, as a start and stimulus for other entities within the state of Florida to do on their own initiative, While conducting his campaign he was published in photos showing with some black people among white people in them, Machiavellian political duplicity strategy and model. If one is anti-US Constitutional or unconstitutional, in words or deeds, or both, then one is anti-American and anti-America in reference to the USA and the Constitutional Bill-of-Rights (democratic-rights) Republic of the United States of America. Race war against black people of the USA is the theme of or underlying theme of the hangings, burning and bombing attacks of individual, group and mob phobia and rampage attacks, as well as all forms of social, institutional and economic discrimination by overt and covert "gatekeepers," categorically against and on black people (to kill, eliminate or rid for some and to subordinate and disenfranchise for others), sometimes openly declared or brazen and sometimes unsaid, at all levels of white society, and by their collaborator non-white others, including other black people, males and females, "lowly" to high.

By MAGA Republican Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, Governor Greg Abbott of Texas and non-majority-, small-plurality-vote elected US President Donald Trump as well as many others (formerly the mentality of the Southern states wing of the Democratic Party whose hardcore rank-and-file membership switched over to the Republican Party during the Richard Nixon Presidential Administration of circa the early 1970s in reaction to the bi-partisan US Congress under the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Administration having legislated and enacted into law the 1964 and 1968 Civil Rights outlawing racial discrimination in employment, education, housing, public services and accommodations, and more), race war against black people is conducted by the weaponization of the legal system and government new Jim Crow policies and practices that are conspicuous and obvious, or obviously implicit, but not explicitly so, viscerally and sadistically motivated, whether primally (like tribal-racial identity for many, though not immutably, but not for all folks) or via social conditioning or both), discriminatory, dismissive, derogating, disenfranchising, marginalizing and disempowering of black American ambitions (fully applicable to Native Americans in many locations in the USA, and to women, in general, and other racial minority US citizens, too, less so) for upward mobility and just that, DEI, in the form of black American citizen equality of opportunity and social democracy inclusion in the social, civic, political, worker and vocational skills training, education, economic and progress in individual and collective uplift life in United States of America society. They demagogue woke (democratic rights, and their fair and egalitarian enforcement, political consciousness and activism) and DEI, the equivalent of racial, ethnic, gender, creed and religious affiliation or non-affiliation equality of rights and treatment under the law and participation in USA society, aka E Pluribus Unum, the national motto of the USA, as reverse discrimination against white people, as being against and undoing of traditional white preference, preferential treatment, privilege and monopoly or virtual monopoly ownership, power and control.

Trump is a politically, strategically showmanship, two-faced double dealer fitting bard William Shakespeare's trope "False face doth hide what false heart doth know" and what in political psychology is known as the duplicitous Machiavellian personality. Figuratively, he will look you in the eyes earnestly and shake your hand firmly or smile broadly and affectionately or intensely in your face and thereafter stab or shoot you mortally in the back, gut or brain without a hesitation, wince, pang of conscience, pity or a scintilla of remorse. Latino, black, white businesses affected by international trade or tourism and poor white people who voted for Trump in his successful bid to be elected US president a second time, you are now learning this.

Political Commentary on the 'American Party' Newly Launched by King of the Billionaires Elon Musk

Political Commentary on the 'American Party' Newly Launched by King of the Billionaires Elon Musk

Who Knows, Who Knows, Who Knows What in Effect This Bodes and Which Way Its Wind Blows for American Politics in the Near Term, for Sure???


New update, as of 07-10-2025

If the America Party that has been launched by billionaire Elon Musk takes root and is viable and credible in election politics in the USA, as an ideological offshoot of the Republican Party (the GOP), it will compete with, suck strength from, split up (or detrimentally siphon off an impactful degree of the GOP’s grassroots voting bloc and draw of independent and swing voters), weaken, shrink and undermine the competitiveness of the Trumpian-MAGA GOP in election politics in the USA -- with a probable adverse election effect on the GOP akin to that billionaire Ross Perot and his Reform Party had on the GOP in the 1992 US presidential and national elections. For the GOP and Trump, it is an election-politics foil and spoiler. To their opposition, it is a bitter-sweet, love-hate conundrum of a godsend and possible salvation at this time of precarious constitutional democracy in USA politics, in view of top GOP federal officials, in all 3 branches of the federal government, speaking and acting brazenly in breach and threatened breach of the US Constitution (of our constitutional citizenry-unalienable-bill-of-rights republic) and their oath of office in loyalty to it, with smug and arrogant impunity.

The America Party expectedly will be worse on the GOP than was billionaire presidential candidate Ross Perot and his Reform Party in November of 1992 because it won't be the presidency that this party is imminently out to capture but it is seats in the House of Representatives and Senate of the US Congress in the US midterm elections of November of 2026 that it is seeking first.

Political elections history reflects that political party weak candidacy incumbents and challenger candidates and political party-leaning weak-link districts or states are the most vulnerable and susceptible to contestation. The insurgent America Party undoubtedly knows or will shortly come to know this, as does the Democratic Party well know it, and will leverage it to its benefit. It will do so knowing that the US Congressional GOP's and Trump's legislated post-Big Beautiful Bill and Trump-tariffs' adverse-economic-effects fallout, immediate and politically strategically and self-defensively scheduled by the majority GOP membership of both houses of the US Congress to phase in and be painfully most felt following the November of 2026 midterm US Congressional and national elections, differentially has heavily struck or is legislatively structured to soon strike production, agricultural and retail businesses and pink- and blue-collar workers across all red, purple and blue states and the within them rural, urban and suburban geographies of the USA, and so will expose MAGA-GOP members of both houses of the US Congress to their diminished electability from the voting anger and backlash against them of these victims.

Elon Musk, in saying that he would run challenger candidates against and to replace congressional members of the House and Senate of the US Congress who chose to vote, and actually did vote, for economics incompetent and personal serial bankruptcy businessman US President Donald Trump and his 'Big Beautiful Federal Government, MAGA Fiscal Policy Bill' for supersizing the national debt and budget deficit at the cost of decimating the social safety net and scientific national security infrastructure of the USA and bankrupting the USA (governmentally, if not also, unintentionally by highly possible collateral damage, the economy) in order to attempt to pay for, or fund, and make permanent hefty and special tax cuts favoring millionaires, billionaires and big business, excluding the green-and-clean energy business sector, has said in effect that he will be fielding a slate of candidates, now of this new the America Party, to compete for those seats up for reelection in the House and Senate of the US Congress, which happen to be GOP seats since it was exclusively GOP members of both houses of the US Congress who voted for the bill to make it law, in the November of 2026 midterm US Congressional elections.

**Musk is not much of a positive alternative to Trump, but he is the better of these two bad choices within the whacko MAGA sadomasochist, oligarchy-populist madcap political camp in that he is a tried-and-true enormously successful green-and-clean energy tech doer-producer and leader on his own initiative, naturally as a person, to his credit, and the America Party through his leadership and influence in it, very importantly, can at least effectively advocate for, promote and protect the viability and advancement of this industry in the chambers of the US Congress as well as in right-wing USA and beyond it, in the best interest of our planetary and climatic health, nationally and globally.**

For a jogging of the memory function of mind-wiped MAGA voters who selectively forgot it in their United States of Amnesia social-political bubble, get this: at the end of Trump's first term as US president in January of 2021, he left the US economy in a wreck with mass business failures, understocked stores and store shelves and disrupted and broken-down domestic and international commerce supply chains for supplying goods to stores and businesses in general, soaring price inflation for products and services, spiked unemployment, the end to the longest, on autopilot, boom economy in US history that he inherited, and tried to claim credit for it while it lasted under his mismanagement, from termed-out President Barack Obama as the elected successor US president to President Obama, and well more than a million casualties in Covid-19 pandemic-related hospitalizations and deaths, of which there were more than a million deaths alone.

Already approximately midway within the first six months of Trump’s return as the incumbent US president on January 20, 2025, there is a variable per exporter foreign nation and import-product-type comprehensive, called an "across-the-board," national sales tax, the same as and also termed a such consumption tax, in the name of a tariff or tariffing and tariffs, on all imports coming into the USA that is/are in net effect paid by US user, producer and distributor (wholesale and retail) companies and retail consumers -- that is, ultimately paid by the US citizenry taxpayers and their taxpayer entities. It is/they are a de facto, as just said, US presidentially imposed, federal, national sales tax and substantial new and extra subtraction of money from the citizenry's incomes, upon each citizen's or citizenry entity, directly or indirectly, upon almost every purchase, in addition to their federal income taxes as well as and in addition to miscellaneous other federal taxes and fees and state income taxes and state and local sales. This new tax regime of variable yet across-the-board presidential tariffs constituting a national sales concurrent with and in addition to traditional and ongoing federal, state and local government income and miscellaneous taxes and fees, is largely for paying for the tax cuts of Trump's and the US Congressional MAGA-GOP’s federal budget and solvency busting big and special tax cuts favoring millionaires, billionaires and big business and to super fund US national defense and fund US support of the military and civilian society of foreign nation Israel, the latter with the US presidency, Congress and treasury serving as Israel's personal and direct servile and philanthropic banker in preference and priority to and over the US taxpayers' and domestic citizenry needs and common good, in which US taxpayers are the source of this favoritism, permanent financial support of a foreign nation with US funding tax money.

The statistically pruned and weighted realistic average of this new Trump-tariff-based national sales tax is a new and high extra tax on consumer and affected business incomes and is and will further drive up all-around prices for consumers and costs for businesses and consequential inflation and reduce buyer, household and business purchasing power and business profits and compel business workforce layoffs. The mainstream consumer middle class (with household incomes less than $500,000 annually, mostly well below it) and under class, are already experiencing these mounting adverse economic effects. Trump and the MAGA Republicans will ravage and crash the US economy again, like Trump has and they invariably routinely have again and again before, opening the way for another Democratic Party president to repair and restore the economy, if our constitutional bill of rights republic form of government survives intact until the November of 2026 US Congressional and national elections and our economy can be repaired this time around, starting from January 20, 2029, which, if this happens, for it to be followed by Republicans running a candidate for US president in November of 2032 to cut taxes again skewed primarily to the benefit of high liquidity cash-value multimillionaires and billionaires, like Trump's Big Hunk-of-Bunk Bill for tax cut favoring multimillionaires and billionaires, super funding the US military and sugar-daddy supporting foreign nation Israel because its leaders and people say it is financial sugar-daddy USA's best friend and is, cringe, a democracy, entailing increasing the US national debt and budget deficit again by the Republicans that they complain so much about but are their cause.

When the crash or deep slump of the US economy comes, the private equity firms, hedge-funds companies and major stock-market short sellers, like the bandits and vulture capitalists they can be or are, will feast and glut, at big bargain acquisitions and gains, on the losses.

After Trump signed into law July 4, 2025 his wish-list ballyhooed Big Beautiful Bill legislation passed by the GOP majority memberships of both houses of the US Congress, you learn from public legislative, financial and economic experts and analysts in the news media that there are disqualifying income amount thresholds for being eligible for tax-free tip and overtime earnings and that there is an exemption amount of income from taxation on Social Security pension income, an income qualifying threshold, for seniors. None of these sources of income is/are tax free for all (but may be limitedly entirely tax free for some, with definitively low income), as deceptively and falsely implied and publicized during the Trump-candidacy presidential election campaign of 2024.

Musk's indicated currently personal DOGE is apparently now venturing to conduct a cleanup and cleanout of the waste, fraud, abuse and corruption, the breathing, walking, talking and posturing [politician] kind, in the US Congress and White House, too, and soon.
