As we approach the one-year point in the Trump presidency, a majority of Americans are increasingly angry that he is so intent on destroying our country by any and every means he can. Impeachment couldn’t come soon enough, but I fear it would already be too late.
For me, the tax bill is the final straw to precipitate this letter. Our prevaricator in chief couldn’t persuade Congress to repeal and replace Obamacare, so, collaterally to the tax bill, it will be torpedoed with no replacement in sight (with repeal of the individual mandate). We suffer increased wildfires and storms, but he continues to deny science and pulls us out of the Paris accord. The list seems endless.
I predict that Donald Trump will be the downfall of America.
If it is illegal to shout “fire” in a crowded theater because of the harm it would cause, then why is it legal for Fox, Rush Limbaugh and their unscrupulous colleagues to spew their partisan lies, destroying a whole country instead of just a theater? How could so many people have allowed themselves to be snookered into thinking Hillary Clinton was the liar of the two? Can we ever “Make America Think Again”? Or is it already too late with so much misinformation out there?
The tax bill is a giveaway to the rich and will add more than a trillion dollars to the deficit. Do I hear ruminations about going after Social Security and Medicare to pay that down? It’s becoming ever more clear that the tax cuts never intended to pay for themselves in economic growth. It was your retirement programs they were after all the time!
Reverse Robin Hood all the way. What ever happened to the proverbial “American dream”? I’m glad I’m old.
