Dear Lindsey, Your body had not long been in the grave when your pal Donald Trump made the anti-Russia legislation that carried your name a nullity. Wondering how you'd feel about this if you were around to see it. The whole point of your last decade of life was the belief (or was it a ...
Lowest approval ratings yet on 84 percent of voters’ number one issues: Economy and Costs of living (Pew). People nation-wide blame these on Trump’s tariffs and bad Domestic Policies.

On Oct. 9, Donald Trump drove home his belief that might is right and the rule of law is an obstacle rather than an essential foundation stone of international order. First came the escalated assault on the international criminal court (ICC), sanctioning the body itself. Then he announced a deal with Russia to buy diesel.
