I don’t know how or why our representatives in Washington support Trump, I refuse to call him president. He has yet to acknowledge any of the destruction of the tornado damage anywhere, he has yet to end the war he was going to end in 24 hours, all his speeches are all about him, he keeps letting people out of prison that shouldn’t be, the term, “TACO“ is right on. When are they going to stand up to him and tell him to get out? Seemed after his buddy, Musk, wasn’t able to swing the vote his way in Wisconsin, there was no mention of him again.
He’s like a spoiled brat, it’s his way, or no way. The courts give him "no" votes, but yet, he keeps doing what he wants. He said he was going to run the country like a dictatorship from Day One, and he is. Our once-respected country is a laughingstock. Everyday I get up and wonder what he has done to destroy our country. His appointees know nothing about the positions they’ve been appointed to. I am worried what is going to happen Medicare and Social Security that we’ve worked all our lives for. The midterms can’t come soon enough, time to “drain the swamp.”
