Current conditions in our country would be funny if they weren't so sad. Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi are disasters. Trump's tariffs have been ruled unconstitutional. ICE is running rampant. I believe Trump is doing all he can to sabotage the upcoming elections in fear of being defeated.
It is my opinion that too many Republicans supported Trump's cabinet and Supreme Court choices, though many were inexperienced or unqualified. I hope mid-term elections will stop the decay, and that we will be able to recover the respect we had from other countries.
