Sentence in letter perfectly describes Trump supporters

In response to the person calling Sen. Mazie Hirono a “loose cannon” with “her big mouth,” he is obviously a Trump supporter (Letters, May 14). He also said, “What is it with these politicians that there is no respect for their constituents, their peers or anybody in the other party.” This is a perfect description of Trump and his rabid supporters.

Mazie stands up for us, and is calling Trump and his cronies out on their actions against what is best for our country and its people.

Does this person support cutting our Social Security by $25 billion, and cutting Medicare by $845 billion and Medicaid $1.4 trillion, rather than paying back the $2.6 trillion Congress took from it for the military industrial complex? Two percent interest on that $2.6 trillion for 10 years is $520 billion. Does he support huge tax breaks for the wealthy which caused the deficit?

It looks like Trump is ready to go to war, sending 125,000 of our troops to Iran. Will the above cuts go to pay for this war like the $2.6 trillion already stolen from Social Security? How many of our troops will die? Will this war agenda give our oligarch, fascist, dictator wannabe the power to do as he pleases and shush his critics?

Regarding those citizen voters that support Trump and his backers in our government, there are none so blind as those who will not see.
