We must once again come to the aid of our country, now threatened by chaos. Past leaders have led our country from some of its deepest and darkest times to grow and flourish. Now we are burdened with the arrogance of a man who thinks he knows more than all who have come before him.

He possesses no conscience, no morals and no regrets, a sinister being who needs to be put back in his cage and locked away for the good of society. A puppet master leading a plethora of empty-headed puppets senseless to know what is right who can only hear the screams in their ears from a psychotic sociopath.

You in Congress, it’s time to wake up! You appear to be empty-headed dimwits acting like a group of scared rabbits, not reasonable, conscientious, smart representatives and senators who actually accepted your positions to help our country.

Are you there to follow a megalomaniac down the toilet, bringing our country and the free world with you? Do you not see the chaos circling our nation? Why do you bend over and cover your ears and eyes, are you that submissive, is your title more important than the work you have sworn an oath to do? Are you willing to give up all that has been fought for for generations to make our country great?

You have turned a blind eye to all we stand for: justice, rights, freedom from persecution, pursuit of happiness. The truths are so simple yet you choose not to see or hear them.

We are a nation of immigrants and we need more immigrants to continue to help make our country grow and prosper. The biggest threat to our country as a whole is the current distribution of wealth and our deficit. This will not be solved by random chaotic slashing of programs, firings and certainly not by lowering taxes.

If President Trump had a conscience and really wanted to help the country he would raise taxes on the higher earners, $500,000 and up and designate 50% of it to reduce our deficit, and hence the interest we pay on it. That will do a lot more than giving trillions of dollars to continue tax breaks, which by the way won’t be offset by all the stupid moves he and his pet Elon have done.

Wake up, Congress. You become more pathetic by the day.
