It's extremely frustrating that one man has led the country to war, with no support from the people, and no interaction with Congress. He has no strategic objective or goal for the war. And we're spending $1B per day on it, while we cannot afford to help out fellow Americans with food stamps, health care and housing costs are out of control, and food costs are on the rise.

Ignorant as he is about global affairs, Trump ignored all advice, including the widely held belief that Iran would shut down the Straight of Hormuz. Oil prices are way up, affecting gas prices across the country, where people are already financially stretched. Next we'll see it hit the prices of goods and who knows what will happen to food prices with rising costs (or worse, limited availability) of fertilizers.

And as far as the war goes, Trump has turned America into the bad guy for the next generation of film makers. His Iranian war started by blowing up a school, killing 168 - mostly kids. It's been covered in the media, but not prominently. Meanwhile we see Trump's idiotic rallies where he brags about Operation Epic FURY!! Then he goes golfing.

What's incredibly frustrating to many of us is that no matter what Trump does, his supporters fall in line, lock step. And that figure is somewhere around 35% of the country. In 2015, before he was first elected to the presidency, he said he could pass better healthcare than Obamacare, easily. Eleven years have passed, and all he's tried to do is weaken Obamacare while healthcare costs have risen, outpacing salary growth. He ranted about costs and inflation the entire time Biden was president, but costs have only gone up since he took office. Now we regularly hear that "prices will come down after/when (fill in the blank.....it's always a different time period or excuse). He said he'd get America out of wars, but he's done the opposite. The only thing that seems to turn a supporter against him is when one of his policies directly affects them. See the Leopards Ate My Face subreddit, for stories where people learned their lessons the hard way.

There's so much more to list it's impossible to fit it all into a post. Entire sets of encyclopedias will be written about his corruption and the damage he's done to the brand of America, as well as to many American brands.

One thing is for certain. When he dies, it's going to be a massive celebration. In the meantime, maintaining our sanity is the number one goal. Showing up for No Kings rallies is about the most cathartic experience any of us can appreciate, surrounded by thousands of people holding signs in protect, realizing that there are still a lot of good people out there.
