  • When Donald Trump was our president, everything was great! Living was easy, no worries of war and gas was nice and low. The border was safe and was getting safer knowing a wall was being put up. Trump had men behind him that protected this country and we knew it. This president couldn't wait to stop the wall from being completed and he's letting in all the illegals good and bad. No one is safe because some are sick with disease and hundreds of thousands are coming from all different countries. He has to stop this! He's ruining our beautiful America. He wants to give them medicare and social security and insurance and yet our vets that fought for this country can't get help. He needs to go. Fairfield, Ct.
