Former Vice President Joe Biden said “Don’t tell me what you value. Show me your budget and I will tell you what you value.”

...Donald Trump’s budget tells us plenty about what he values—but it tells us even more about what he doesn’t value.

Trump values military hardware. He values a border wall. He doesn’t value people’s lives—feeding people or keeping them warm, doing medical research to prevent and heal diseases, job training or college preparation for disadvantaged youth. He doesn’t value the environment, or parks, or the arts. Trump’s America, the America he is trying to build with this budget, is ignorant, unskilled, sick, hungry, cruel, and violent. It’s bleak and barren and devoid of joy.

If you were trying to create in a lab a person with character traits more unbecoming in a president, it would be hard to outdo the one we have.

I think whatever ideological coloration we think actually applies to Trump, we can be pretty confident that he sees the American state as a mechanism to make sure that people called Trump are rich forever.

If fascism ever comes to the United States, it’ll be because the people voted it in.
