Donald John Trump is destroying American democracy. Senator Susan Collins has the seniority to do something but does nothing to stop the tyranny

To the editor of the Yakima Herald Republic newspaper in Washington State— Donald John Trump is a man ignoring the Constitution and the law. Imposing tariffs, making war with nations without the consent of Congress and alienating allies. People who are here legally are being harassed and imprisoned by Trump's ICE police.

• There's an attempt to eliminate habeas corpus (right of due process) because he claims there's an "invasion." 
• Ignoring voting rights because he would have us believe there is unproven voter fraud. 
• Hiring incompetent sycophants and firing experienced government workers and senior military leaders. 
• Gutting the USAID foreign assistance to aid in poverty and  relief from deadly infectious diseases like Ebola.

Trump wants to use taxpayers' 💲money for people who have attacked the Capitol and police and have been convicted of crimes. Over 10,000 of the best attorneys of both parties who observe their oaths have left government positions. The DOJ has become Trump's personal retribution squad. There are 22 people who are competent public servants but "enemies" of the president who he's trying to prosecute.

"Pay to Play" is compromising the government in deal after deal to benefit Trump. Building expensive ballrooms, needless arches and reflecting pools.

It will take decades to deal with the damage done to our country by Trump and his extremists. Psychiatrists and professors of law will use him as an example of incompetent leadership and a time of lawlessness in America. It is imperative to teach the younger generation — THIS IS NOT NORMAL❗
