We elected a president, (not I) not a king. Trump’s address to the Congress was a diatribe of his accomplishments since the election. Most of his cabinet is chock full of people who donated to his campaign and were never involved in the cabinet posts before their appointments. hence they know nothing the daily operation of our government.

He called his achievements a “golden age.” He has no mandate to slash critical programs like Medicare, Social Security, and he stated they found people 150 years old gaming the system. Have anyone ever known any person that age?

Then there’s his statement that he’d take Greenland “one way or another,” along with taking the Panama Canal with the same mentality. Then there’s his unilateral decision to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America.

One by one, he is destroying relations with longtime allies like Canada, Europe … and the list goes on. His millionaire/billionaire buddies are going get tax cuts that will on the back of hardworking people.

It’s hard enough trying to feed a family with the cost of groceries are climbing each week. What can you do? Contact your senator/representative at the congressional phone number (202)-224-3121.
