Take back our country

As I watched the first presidential debate, (I use that term loosely.) I saw firsthand how truly inept Donald Trump is as our president. He was an embarrassment to the American people and continued to make us the laughingstock of the world.

Rather than discuss the issues on Americans' minds factually, he chose to shout and interrupt both Joe Biden as well as Chris Wallace. He continued to lie about his handling of the coronavirus, the economy and the racial injustice across our country. He lied about health care - he has no plan; he has lied about not dissolving Medicare and Social Security; he's lied about reducing drug prices and more importantly he has lied when he says he wants clear water and fresh air. If that is true, why has he dismantled the policies that were put in place to do just that? When asked to denounce white supremacists, he would not. This is quite scary. I shudder to think what more this man can do if we have the misfortune of having him reelected. This is a person that is clearly interested in only the good of Donald Trump and not our country. We must get our country and our dignity back - get out and vote.
