It was bad enough when Trump was president for four years. Apparently, Americans realized what harm he had done and what a chaotic administration he led and intelligently elected someone else. Why this country has gone back to him, knowing full well how chaotic, dishonest, and lacking in knowledge of most aspects of our country’s government is beyond understanding. They like the way he talks? Excuse me!!!! How is that going to protect our people, solve any economic problems, protect our health care, etc. etc. We now see what he’s up to with Project 2025 that he lied about knowing or supporting anything about it, and we have seen the ineptitude he has promoted in quite a number of his appointments. Unless there are Republican senators who love this country more than they like being sycophants to him, we are in deep trouble for the next 4 years. Even if Dems win back the majority in one or both houses, his deceitfulness and determination to carry out his mandates makes him powerful enough to minimize the overtaking of either the Senate or the House. Pray for us!!!!
