Abuse of power means it’s time to impeach

America use to be the leader of the free world. Now we are the laughing stock of the free world. Why? With the election of Donald Trump, our country is lacking an ethical and moral leadership. This president's values are the exact opposite of our constitution and the concept of democracy.

He believes in controlling the branches of government, its citizens and the press. He believes he has absolute powers and cannot even be investigated. He finds solace with murderous dictators and insults our allies. His decisions and policies about immigrants are cruel and hateful.

To ease the pain of others who are abused or neglected is not his concern. Trump is the most indecent person to ever hold this office. He has downgraded the stature of this presidency so low that it is barely recognizable.

Finally a whistleblower came forward with a claim of wrong doing, which the Inspector General says is of urgent concern. By law this report shall be turned over to the congress. It was reported that the president withheld payment from Ukraine unless they dug up dirt on Hunter and Joe Biden.

Trump was asking foreign power to interfere with our 2020 election for his benefit. This presidential abuse of power cannot go unchecked or our democracy will be over.
