Diane Kroeze: Trump has replaced the ‘swamp’ with his personal sewer

Well, our president replaced the swamp with the sewer. Donald Trump has taken kneeling to a new low. Religious people kneel in church honoring God. When NFL players kneel, Trump says they disrespect flag, country and veterans. How did he make such a jump? Did he not listen to the reason they put forth? It was to protest the racial inequality and violence handed out to Black people. Would Trump like it better if they held violent protests instead? Probably!

Trump disrespects their right to peaceful protest just like he disrespects women and tries to take away their rights. Just like he hides the fact he has cut ACA advertising by 90 percent and outreach by 40 percent. Not to mention the shorter time frame to sign up. ACA will fail because Trump pushed it off a cliff. He thinks people are like toys on a game board. Check out what he wants for his help on creating a DACA agreement.

Is your bomb shelter built yet? His aggressive talk toward Iran and North Korea, but not Russia, could cause World War III. On second thought, a bomb shelter will be worthless with total radiation. Breathe deep and die quick!
