TheVoiceOfJoyce If you’re unhappy with the direction of our Country, you’re not alone . Trump’s narcissistic behavior and extravagant lifestyle may be alright for a private citizen of means. It’s inappropriate for the President of these United States. Especially,since his inability to make a deal with Iran will usher in enormous fossil fuel pricing. His actions are taking away much needed grant money from NIH & NSF degrading our ability to maintain our scientific and technological edge. Further, since Trump is unpopular, he wants the US Post Office to halt our mail in ballots. Since Voting is a State issue, why would anyone be registered through the Federal Government? We’re automatically disqualified with his new illegal rules. There is dissension in Congress, start acting to bring order back to Government. Thank you. This is my personal plea, I’m sure shared by many.
