It is difficult to understand why 40 percent of adult Americans still support our president. It may be true that the rising stock prices are especially helping the rich get richer, but our president hasn’t reduced drug prices or health insurance premiums, or increased the minimum wage, or done anything else to help most of our working class. He’s a great self-promoter who takes credit for an economy given momentum by President Barack Obama’s action.

A common reason why many still support Trump is their hope Roe v. Wade will be overthrown. What they don’t realize is that if it’s overturned, it doesn’t mean that all of America will be pro-life. It will mean that each individual state will have to decide how to handle this delicate issue, and most experts predict the majority of the states will still allow abortions.

Another common reason for supporting Trump may be the fact he is a businessman. Unfortunately, he has been a corrupt businessman who has gone bankrupt six times, so he should have taken advice from experts instead of “listening to his gut.” He is making the same mistake as our president because he listens to his gut instead of members of his cabinet. Thankfully, we never learn of many of his dumb or illegal ideas because, according to a member of his cabinet, they often have interventions to stop foolish actions.

I’d appreciated it very much if a Trump supporter would reply to this letter and cite specifically what he ha done to deserve to be called a great president.

Last, but not least, we cannot wait for the next election to remove him from office because that’d set a precedent that future presidents should feel free to obstruct justice and abuse their powers for their personal gain.
