I’m not tracking Trump but I pay attention to the news. I listen to and read “traditional” news such as the NY Times. I don’t usually trust news from sites that are shared on places like FB unless I fact check, especially if it’s something that sounds really crazy.
I’m worried about Trump’s plan to move forward with the Dakota pipeline. I’m worried for our national parks, because once you take beautiful forest land and put asphalt and dig pipelines, it’s spoiled forever. Once the water is fucked up, it’s fucked up forever and then who pays when the people cry that they need bottled water and can’t afford it? Us, the little guy tax payer.
I’m also concerned about Social Security and Medicare because those are things that I’ll be needing in about fifteen years.
I’m also concerned about whoever he puts to lead the Dept of Education, as I have a 9 year old who attends public school.
As the mother of a daughter, I’d like her to have freedom of choice should she ever want to get an abortion. Of course I hope she never has to make that choice, but it’s nice when there are choices available that don’t involve coat hangers and being prosecuted for murder.
I’m not poor and I’m not rich so I’m right in the middle and this all concerns me.
