So why wouldn’t
Republicans vote for the man whose only real promise was to be the anti-Obama?
Well, they got the anti-Obama. Donald Trump is
rude, crude and without class or charm. His IQ, or at least his communication
skills, are below that of your average 5th grader and in fewer than four
months, he has racked up more scandals than any President in history,
On the governing front, we’ll he’s been the
anti-Obama there too. He’s trying to overturn every single Obama
accomplishment, including Michelle’s efforts at ensuring that poor children
receive at least some nutrition at school, which for Republicans, is a step too
far.
Now, the Trump administration is putting a stop to those evil
healthy lunches.
Agriculture Secretary Sunny Perdue is delaying requirements for
schools to have reduced sodium in lunches and he is issuing waivers so schools
won’t have to serve whole grains.
Yes, depriving children of healthy lunches is petty and
petulant, but that’s the way the Trump administration rolls, so Michelle Obama
weighed in.
Speaking at an annual health conference in Washington, D.C., Obama said more nutritious school lunches are important since millions of kids eat federally subsidized school breakfast and lunch. Without mentioning President Donald Trump, she said parents should stop and “think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap.”“If we want to make this country great, our kids need to be healthy,” Obama said. “Not some, but all.” Source: NBC Chicago
Michelle also took aim at
the GOP argument that she was helping to create a nanny state by attempting to
regulate school lunches. In the perfectly crafted response, she pointed instead
at the oligarchy, which lets corporations make the decisions for us:
“You want to talk about nanny state and government intervention, well, ‘you just buy the food and be quiet and you don’t need to know what is in it,'” Obama said. “That is essentially what a move like this is saying to you moms.”
She even used Trump’s own
words against him, saying that if we want to Make America Great, we need
healthy children. It does seem pretty simple, doesn’t it?
