Trump is not making America great in any way

Donald Trump is a terrible president; the facts support it.

First off, 83 percent of the benefits of his tax bill go to the top 1 percent in the U.S, and because of the tax bill, the budget deficit will hit $1 trillion by 2019. Next, he abandoned the DACA kids when almost 9 out of 10 Americans want them to stay. He also tried to pass a health care bill with a 12 percent approval rating that would have left 13 million uninsured.

He wants to build a $25 billion wall along the border, even though illegal immigrants are less likely than natives to commit crimes in the U.S. and Republicans supposedly care about overspending. Additionally, the black unemployment rate has been on the decline since 2010, so Trump’s taking credit for something he isn’t responsible for.

In 2017, Trump tried to unlawfully ban Muslims from seven different countries; zero people from those countries have killed someone on U.S. soil. He’s also increased the number of drone strikes in the Middle East and is killing more civilians than Obama.

Not to mention, Robert Mueller’s special counsel is investigating Trump and his Cabinet; two former Trump officials have pled guilty. And right now, he’s attacking Syria and putting our country on the brink of nuclear war with Russia. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

In short, Trump is not making America great in any way.
