We need a president, not an entertainer.

It is easy to say the entire Trump administration doesn't know what it is doing.

"Throw the book at him" is not a well run DOJ. I don't want to hear how they inherited this from Obama, the Trump administration has been in existence over two years and is facing re-election.

Trump removed the USA from a nuclear agreement with Iran and he is now using terrorist attacks as extremist campaign fodder. He is endangering American troops with his extremist statements and tweets to the point where now the USA military has to beef up their presence simply to protect American lives. 

This is an administration out of control and the USA is far less safe then it ever has been.

Another example is the DeVos advocacy for charter and private schools. When she wants to end the funding for the Special Olympics, there is money in the country unaccounted for and the charter school system is failing in many instances. The public school teachers have never been so burdened and stressed and funding to failing charter schools can't be found.

And what happened to the total of $8,226,311 awarded them in federal taxpayer dollars is largely unknown....
