House Democrats will push to undo Trump’s successes

I just read The Maui News Nov. 3 and two headlines caught my attention.

In the article “Feds say heroin, fentanyl remain biggest drug threat,” it mentions that most of the heroin is being trafficked from Mexico and that officials warn that they expect to see larger shipment of cocaine at the Mexican border.

My question on this article is: “Why is our president being attacked by Democrats as a racist regarding his attempt to stop this drug trafficking? Where are the voices of Sens. Mazie Hirono and Brian Schatz and Reps. Tulsi Gabbard and Colleen Hanabusa on the trafficking of drugs, which also reaches Hawaii and has been destroying lives and families, putting many of them on the street as our homeless population increases?

The second article, “Economy in the U.S. looks strong heading into congressional elections,” mentions that 250,000 jobs were added in October and unemployment at 3.7 percent is at the lowest level in 50 years. These numbers have a lot to do with Trump’s tax cut and deregulation agenda. Do you know that not one Democrat, including our congressional representatives, supported these actions?

Now that Democrats have regained the House of Representatives, you will see the likes of Rep. Nancy Pelosi back in power, pushing to undo all that President Trump has accomplished. You can count on your financial status to take a negative turn for the worst.
