Donald Trump and maga Republicans destroying America and as Americans we are fed up with his evil selfishness

Echo opinion letter published in the Milwaukee Journal, in Wisconsin: By any reasonable assessment, the first six months of Donald Trump’s presidency have been an abject failure❗💢

It bears remembering that Trump took office as a convicted felon, also being found liable for sexual assault. 

Trump pardoned over 1,500 of the January 6 rioters, many of whom assaulted law enforcement officers.

Trump boasted and bragged that he would end Russia's invasion of Ukraine in one day. Six months later the war rages on. Trump's ICE squad is literally kidnapping people off of America's streets, his agents of cruelty wearing masks and no identifying marks on their clothing or vehicles. They are locking people up with no due process.

Trump's unjust tariffs (taxes) are causing price increases at home and economic confusion around the world. The latest economic reports show slowing hiring, rising inflation and a loss of manufacturing jobs.

Trump and the Republicans' budget bill will take health insurance away from approximately 11 million people and SNAP (food assistance) from millions of hungry children. The closing of USAID will take food and medicine away from starving people overseas.

Trump's latest hustle is accepting a "gift," a strict violation of the emoluments clause of the U.S. Constitution, in the form of a Boeing 747-8 airliner worth $400 million from the Qatari government. Trump intends to skim $934 million from the taxpayer funded Pentagon budget to retrofit the plane.

The corruption is staggering.
