    The Trump Administration's complete and udder failure to "protect and defend", as is stated in the oath that every single person who serves us swears too, must leave every Patriot in complete disgust! Why? Our neighbors throughout the world have finally had it! The trust and support we have enjoyed since the end of the last World War have been discarded to the ashcan of history. Ditto Pence stood in front of our European friends and failed significantly to address the continued threat that the Russian government has escalated in recent years. God knows, I'm the last person to ever want a war and that is why I must speak out. Some of my friends think that demanding fiscal responsibility from the members of NATO is reason enough to blindly support Trump in his assault on the Organization. There is no question that they do need to step up to the fiscal plate! But that is only one consideration! The Russians now are using the Internet as a weapon to spread discontent in Europe and at home. Divide and conquer, the oldest trick in the playbook of disaster to humankind. Trump stands next to Putin and sides with him over our own intelligence system. That alone tells me he has broken the solemn oath that Patriots swear to uphold.
    Added to all of this is Trump's declaration of tariff wars with other countries. The "greatest genius" of all things is leading us into economic disruption. History has shown that tariff wars never have succeeded. I served the agriculture community several years. I can tell you from professional experience that if you destroy markets, it cost you years to reestablish them. Food has always served not only as an economic force, but also as a cornerstone of our international relations.
    In summation, this Administration is not protecting America! America has been great since its inception because we are a democratic republic; there is no "again". I am not willing to set on the sidelines for two more years. We simply cant afford it in more ways than I can imagine! I submit that for these issues alone, we need to Take America Back Again! Are you willing to take personal responsibility to do the same?
