I haven’t written a Letter-to the Editor in some time but now I feel an obligation to publicly say that I find most everything Trump and his acolytes are doing is wrong for the country and the world.
I don’t want to live in a predominantly white, Christian nation. I don’t want to be pulled off the street for no reason with no subsequent assurance that I will receive legal due process. If I get pregnant or have a child that needs surgery, I would like the decision to be mine and the child’s and our doctor. Trump lies consistently. We are our brothers and sisters keepers. We are a diverse country. We do need scientific research. I’ve lost trust that I’m getting accurate information from his administration about health, climate change, immigration, foreign policy and foreign conflicts, to name a few issues.
While I empathize with those who believe that the country needs major reforms, I think Trump, Congress, and his followers have gone way too far. Very sadly, Congress has passed Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” with little opposition from Republican members. I learned in school that the Constitution and the law are for us all, but I’m afraid that’s not true today.
