Donald Trump is an existential threat to the United States [View all]

Those ten words, in my view, sum up everything that's going on.

He has cheapened the office of the President.

He is undermining the very Rule of Law.

He is working to eliminate Congressional decorum, tradition, deliberative activity.

He is working in support of a foreign power that was, and in many ways still is, our mortal enemy.

In virtually every cabinet appointment, he has placed in power people intent on destroying the agencies they now head.

The nation lacks ambassadors in most countries after he fired all the incumbents but failed to appoint replacements.

And so much more.

He has, truly, not done even one small thing for the betterment of We The People.







For all the drama, he is being VERY effective at working toward the destruction of our county.

I hope the legislators we hired soon enough get to doing the work necessary to SAVE THE UNITED STATES. What is happening is quickly putting us on a road we do not want to follow.
