A veteran’s view on the state of our country

I know that I'm not the only one who feels that Donald Trump has put our country on a path of destruction, but sometimes too many of us just ‘grin and bear it.’ Well, maybe more of us need to speak up, and let the people who only listen to Fox News, know what we really feel.

Too many of them talk about what they hear a man profess who has lied, cheated, and taken advantage of people less fortunate than him. I wonder if any of them wonder why he will not put his hand on the bible, or be sworn in, in a court of law. I believe it is that he can lie about almost every word that comes out of his mouth.

I overheard two of his supporters say that he really cares about poor people because he wants to stop taxing social security payments. His motives are to keep the less informed believing in him. If he really cares about the poor, why is he getting rid of the department. that helps low income people pay heating bills, or programs that help new mothers buy healthy food?

Having served in the military, there hasn't been a president that I wouldn't have taken a bullet for, but I wouldn't take a nap for Donald Trump.

He is not my president. You elected him, you clean up his mess. If you have a 401k, check out what it's worth.
