Sorry, Mr. Bush. President Trump’s record is lousy

Apparently Ralph Bush thinks Trump is doing a good job and we should just give him a chance (“Give President Trump the credit he is due,” Nov. 13).

Did he mean like taking away health care from children? Allowing mentally disturbed people to buy guns?

Deporting innocent people from this country? Threatening to take away Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid?

Hiring people who are ill-informed on the job they were appointed to do, i.e. Betsy DeVos? A guy for a judge who has never tried a case? Spending millions of dollars of taxpayer money on his golf trips and his children’s trips? Or finding trillions to build a wall that will be of no use? That’s just for starters.
