  1. IDEA THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS A THREAT TO AMERICA: Well, let us see: a. Trump and Trump alone shut this government down and Trump and Trump alone can open it back up. Even if the Democrats were to pass a bill with wall funding in it, AND the Senate passed that bill, AND the President signed that bill, it still does not automatically open the government back up. Trump can open the government back up with or without wall funding and ONLY Trump and Trump alone can open the government back up, no one else can. President Trump owns this government shutdown. b. This is the longest government shutdown in USA history, and there is currently no end in sight. As far as I am aware, the following government agencies are not being funded: * The border security people themselves that specifically are on the southern border; The Coast Guard who guards our coasts to help keep America safe; The TSA who helps keep the flying public and this nation safe; The FBI who helps keep this nation safe; The IRS who helps collects the tax dollars to help keep this government functioning; and I am sure there are some that I either forgot or don't know about. *How can President Trump keep this nation 'safe and happy' per the Declaration Of Independence with such vital agencies shut down? And those who are forced to work, are doing so without pay. They surely can't last a long time without pay. Possibly some, if not many, of these loyal, dedicated public servants are going to leave government service and find a paying job and possibly not come back. So, there would be a huge 'brain drain' of knowledge, understanding and wisdom that are going to leave this government. How again does that make America 'great'? c. President Trump has also alienated America's allies and emboldened America's enemies, exactly opposite of what he should be doing. d. President Trump has drastically increased America's debt, of which, I just heard recently the USA might be financially downgraded yet again. How does that make America 'great' or safe? And there are more reasons too, but this short essay is long enough to make the point. It is NOT "ludicrous" to think that Trump is a threat to America and America's values as well as a threat to this nation's security. The Republican party, especially in the Senate, should be ashamed to call themselves Americans right now. President Trump and the Republican party who are walking in lock step with Trump are actually destroying America and it's values. Bush #2 used to be the worst President in my lifetime for being a 'war criminal' in my book for authorizing torture, but with Trump in office, Trump is now the worst President in my lifetime. The damage being done to this nation will take a long time to recover. Trump, Trump's supporters and the Republican party have made America 'less great', exactly opposite of what they claimed they wanted to do. #SAD.
