Today is the 24th memorial of the September 11 terrorist attacks. We must remember and hold the perpetrators accountable. However, it is noteworthy that U.S. politicians have moved on since that day. The perpetrators originated from affluent nations, and U.S. officials have received substantial financial contributions and lavish gifts from these countries.
While animosity persists among people, politicians engage in deals and enrich themselves at the expense of ordinary citizens.
September 11 was a lesson that appears to have been overlooked by U.S. politicians. They continue to engage with countries that support extremists, hold regressive views on women’s rights, disrespect individuals with disabilities, and harbor animosity towards the LGBTQ community.
For example, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump received two billion dollars from the Saudi government as a gift. Additionally, Donald Trump received a $450 million luxury jet from Qatar.
By the way, President Obama and George Bush also received lavish gifts from the Saudi government. Obama received a gold sword from Saudi Arabia, and Bush received a sword made of pure gold. However, there is nothing as valuable as the gift Donald Trump received from the Saudi and Qatari governments.
This raises the question: where does this lead us? It suggests that U.S. officials have been susceptible to manipulation by other countries due to the receipt of money and other valuables, particularly by Donald Trump.
The significant concern is that Donald Trump is emulating the actions of those countries regarding human rights. He is dismantling the rights of minorities and seeks to ban transgender individuals from the military. He is gradually eroding the freedoms of Americans, but the Americans are unaware of that because they are concerned about the price of a dozen eggs rather than freedom and democracy.
