While We Were Sleeping: An American Deception

RIP, my Mother, I dedicate this article to her because what she told me many years ago has come to fruition. President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have “duped” so many Americans.

This whole scheme began in 2021, following Trump’s defeat in 2020. If you recall, he took all the classified materials from the White House with him to Mar-A-Lago. stored them and began to destroy the character and success of President Joe Biden. It was a gradual action, feeding people who would believe his stories.

It is very easy for me as a writer to verify what has happened because of several repeated statements, such as “I will never vote for Biden, he is giving those immigrants two thousand dollars a month.” I asked her not to believe so much on social media.

One story relative to the character of President Biden, his son and any others involved with him began to come on the circuit regularly while we were sleeping. Everyone in America has been affected by this activity.  Rich or poor, black or white, male or female, LGBTQIA or straight and any others…we have all been “duped.”

The most dangerous of this action has been the partnership of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, and the most disgusting is the issue with the historical saga that took place on January 6, 2021, the attack on the U.S Capitol. Trump seemed to encourage the insurrectionists to upset the certification of the 2020 election won by President Biden.

Today, following his re-election, Trump is now attempting to prosecute anyone having been involved in the investigation of the insurrection, which included threatening to murder his Vice President Mike Pence. Everyone witnessed the attacks with our own eyes, but there are those who for some reason deny that it happened, not to forget Trump’s complete pardoning those charged with the attack, and crimes involved during the disruption. The reality is that incident is already a part of our history.

At least three or four days following Donald Trump’s election as president for the second time, a deplorable text message hit a number of cell phones across the country to selected African Americans that a van would be picking them up, taking them to the plantation, back into slavery and picking cotton.  I will guarantee those texts came from Elon Musk.

This former South African, born into apartheid that ended with Nelson Mandela becoming President of South Africa., that no doubt devastated Musk. Now he is attempting to bring apartheid to America with Trump’s assistance,

I have asked for an investigation relative to the texts. The proof is to look at the dismantling of the Civil Rights movement; DEI and every source of progress African Americans have made including voting rights throughout the federal government.

We have been set back 60 years plus. Project 2025 surfaced throughout the last presidential campaign; Trump consistently denied he knew anything about it. However, on day one, following his inaugural, his committee was busy implementing every part of their movement, which has included defunding, slashing, laying off people from their jobs, shutting down departments all from DOGE and Musk, encouraged by Trump and his cabinet.

This has been one of the most devastating periods in our lifetime.  The Democratic officials in Washington, I am sure, are in a state of shock.  We all knew what Trump promised, however he has gone far beyond anything that anyone could imagine.

There are two important components to this story, one is the betrayal to Americans relative to misinformation, and the taking of control by Mr. Trump in a “power grab” with no limitations. The last statement I heard was that Donald Trump stopped the fires in California.  The individual who told me actually believed. This will be an education for so many who have been misled but not surprised. Stay tuned.
