Dear Mr. Trump,

Forgive my absence. I've been busy trying to find my limit of astonishment with the things that have been happening in the American government as a whole since you took office. I must say that I have found that if I wait until I reach my limits of being astonished, I may never write another blog post the entire time you are in possession of the White House.

I must say that there have been so many subjects to talk about over the first 76 days of your time as the leader of this country, that I've felt quite a bit overwhelmed. I've spent many, MANY days and nights screaming at my TV due to a lack of ability to understand how the things you are trying to accomplish will “Make America Great Again”. 

Trump-care is a thinly veiled tax break for insurance companies, and an open insult to poor and middle class Americans by saying that we are too ignorant to understand that this bill would do nothing positive for any of us, and that we aren't worth helping, and that you and several of your fellow Republicans and other supporters believe that “Making America Great Again” includes killing off anyone in this country that makes less than a mid six figure income annually.

You put forward a budget plan that will do nothing good for anyone in this country. You cut funding to every environmental group we have, cut funding for programs to feed poor children and elderly including a large number of American Veterans. You cut funding for housing assistance, medical research, and education. You cut money from infrastructure and inner city revitalization programs, and even an area you've exploited yourself, the arts. 

I can't even begin to say how many of these things you campaigned on across this country. Time and time again you said that we needed to spend money to fix our roads and bridges, that we needed to take steps to fix situations like the drinking water situation in Flint, MI. You said we needed to actively work on helping people with serious addiction issues get the kind of help they need. But instead you stabbed the majority of Americans in the back by cutting any and all programs that would accomplish any of those things. You put up a budget that would fund an overwhelmingly large and highly unnecessary military spending increase, and of course, your completely illogical Mexican border wall.

Breaking news just now tells me that you are trying to get us into a war with Russia. You've approved an attack on Syria due to the chemical warfare they deployed on their own people on Tuesday. While I completely agree that chemical weapons are a horrible thing to use in any situation, and I agree that Syria has broken human rights law, it wasn't our place to act on this crime at this time. The United Nations has an ongoing investigation regarding this attack, and until that investigation is completed, and the UN decides what the appropriate course of actions should be, no one has the right to punish the Syrian government. In 2013, when it was President Obama in office facing this situation, you were VERY vocal about your opinion. You made it clear that you did not support military action against Syria. For the past six years Syria has been killing their own people using many different methods up to and including chemical weaponry. Where has your outrage been during this? Where was your support for the Syrian people who were being killed? Where was your charity for the struggles these people have lived and died through for the past six years? Nowhere. It didn't exist. You chose this event to flex your muscles in front of the visiting Chinese President, but what will be the repercussions from Russia? Once again I have to ask...HOW IS THIS GOING TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN?
