He didnāt succeed, yet managed to cause untold damage to many of our other fine and essential Institutions, during his pathological presidency.

It took lots ofĀ ACTIVISMĀ by many to keep the Cancer of Trump in check:
I, for one, had made theĀ short-filmĀ āCLOSINGā at the time, as part of my ongoing resistance to Trumpās cancer.
It got well disseminated (never as much as an indie-filmmaker hopes, thoughĀ Ā )
It won theĀ āMedia That Mattersā Award at theĀ Sacramento International Film FestivalĀ (April, 2017). Thank you Sacramento, once again!

āTrump Tried to End Federal Arts Funding. Instead, It Grewā.
Dear Friends,
Letās always stay vigilant and active against all threats, foreign AND domestic, to our cherished Institutions that make America a better and healthier country.
If we donāt speak up, stay politically active and engaged, the dark forces and dangerous pathologies in our society such as Trumpism will eventually win.
We still donāt have a cure for Cancer, but preventive-measures, early diagnosis and intervention surely help save lives.
The Cancer of Trump, even though it may now go into a temporary remission, will no doubt recur. Letās always stay aware, alert and active!
Thank YouĀ
