John Shewchuk, you gotta be kidding

To the Editor:

John Shewchuk, you gotta be kidding. 
“All the economic indicators are up.” He took over an already healthy economy. His job growth is limited to low-paying gigs, and his stupid tax plan has the deficit exploding. The stock market is starting to teeter.
“America is… once again a world leader.” Trump has extended helping hands to our enemies, and antagonized our allies. I recently returned for a trip to Europe. We are a laughing stock. We are still languishing among third world nations in all phases of health care. Except cost per capita. There, we are #1 by far. But we rapidly losing our “world leader” status.
“Stronger military?” Did I miss something he did to strengthen the military?
Border security. He ignores the American public and insists that ‘border security’ and ‘The Wall’ are one and the same. They are not. The Wall would do almost nothing to address the so-called emergency. He has vastly overstated the impact of illegal immigration, and people actually believe him.
“American pride is in full bloom.” This amoral, serial adulterer has no character, no ethics, constantly lies and backtracks, and attacks the Free Press and the First Amendment. His lifestyle is far removed from common people of this country. Pride in our Commander in Chief is at a low ebb.
“Dynamic?” his speaking style would flunk any speech class I ever took, and that doesn’t even address the falsehoods that have come out of his trap for the last three years or so. His slurring, misuse of the English language, and thumb-to-finger gestures drive observers buts.
“Global warming is a hoax?” Sure, and the earth isn’t round, the moon landing was faked, and there is a vast conspiracy out to destroy us.
“His devotion to the American constitution” is nonexistent. He has condemned the First Amendment. He recently went off half cocked after chatting with the President of Turkey and agreed to withdraw troops… WITHOUT CONSULTING THE MILITARY. Brilliant move. He has demonstrated on countless occasions that he is intent on ruling by fiat, and doesn’t remotely understand that he was elected president, not Emperor.
He vowed to drain the swamp, but surrounded himself with unqualified sycophants and agenda-driven lobbyists, many of who, have been arrested, convicted, agreed to guilty pleas, and resigned in disgrace.
And, by the way AMERICA IS ALREADY GREAT.
