I will be writing a letter to a Trump voter who still doesn't think he's done anything bad, and so she still supports him. Please help me compile a list of all the ways that this person is going to be hurt (she's a rural white voter) by Trump. I have some ideas, but I want to make sure I can cover as many as possible! Thank you.

This is Mexican Senator Armando Ríos Piter, who has written legislation that will stop the imports of US Corn. Mexico is the largest importer of American corn, and it is a staple of the Mexican diet going back ten thousand years.
They intend to replace this American corn with both Brazilian and Argentinian corn. Mexico is starting to turn south, ever so slowly
This will hurt corn growers in the midwest. Mexico is one of the largest importers. This is from CNN reporting, as well as multiple Mexican media.
This is not the only sign that a trade war has started. You want avocados? The US had agreed to allow avocados from the state of Jalisco to come in during the Obama years, but the test shipment of five trucks was stopped at the border. Mind you, those from the bordering state of Michoacan are still coming in.'>>>

It was as though nature was standing on tip-toe waiting for change when daylight would give way to fireflies and darkness. This was the juncture when American redstarts, gray catbirds, robins and red-winged blackbirds provided the soundtrack for twilight.
If Donald Trump has his way, those moments will be lost to another generation. According to Forbes, Trump and Rex Tillerson own shares in the pipeline which is about to sever the Appalachian Mountains and spread natural gas along the Appalachian Trail.
Anyone curious about environmental protections the new administration will obliterate just has to take a peek at the Competitive Enterprise Institutes legislative scheme, Free to Prosper. A plan which would have been rejected a few months ago as a looney wish list of a far-right fringe group, the report is a frightening show of the planned offensive on environmental regulations.'>>>
