Why doesn’t President Donald Trump just issue one executive order rewinding all of former President Barack Obama’s executive orders and get it over with once and for all. Anything Obama did, Trump wants to overturn regardless of how much it hurts people and affects their lives.

I’m listening and hearing stories in Cook County about it losing business because of the sugar and soda tax. Yep, the Democrats are always looking out for you. Another example how Democrats ruin whatever they touch.

I tried to come up with a positive word to describe our president and I could not come up with a single one. He is failing on every level. He and his cohorts are spending our tax money at a rate never seen before. He wants to spend money on a wall when millions of people need assistance nationwide and then he targets “dreamers.” These people are helping at every level and are not a threat to national security anymore than you are. And then he doesn’t even have the intestinal fortitude to face the people. A really sad man.

It won’t matter if President Donald Trump succeeds in boosting our economy. The costs to rebuild from our recent hurricanes will far outnumber any progress in that area. Harvey’s costs are estimated at $180 billion. Now, unless a miracle happens, Category 5 Irma is projected to hit somewhere in our southeastern states. If that happens, we can expect billions more to that figure.
