Trump has one perverse mission: End everything Obama

President Donald Trump, seen Wednesday, tweeted his decision to ban transgender people from the military, citing higher medical costs and the "disruption" transgender troops "would entail."

I strongly feel that the current administration is secretly thankful to former President Barack Obama because President Trump and his evil minions have no intention of passing legislation beneficial to Americans. The main agenda of those in power is to end everything Obama did, beginning with, but not limited to, the Affordable Care Act. Now Trump is denying military service to transgender individuals, reversing yet another of Obama’s accomplishments.

After six months in total control of the government, they have yet to pass a worthwhile law. Their only “achievements,” mostly via executive order and not through bipartisan means, have been to gleefully dismantle Obama’s programs.

Those who accept this administration’s destructive policies should be aware: When your healthcare and social support programs are gone, when your taxes increase, when the air and water again become polluted, when the shorelines shrink and your rights are taken back (except for gun rights, of course), it’s because a childish, spiteful and dangerous Donald Trump is president. Not only will continued approval of him bring suffering upon misinformed supporters, it will greatly harm innocent millions across this country.
