During the Obama administration 2.5 million people who were here illegally were deported. Bin Laden killed. The big difference is the previous administration did not boast, they simply did their jobs. Now we have the new face of the GOP. It is very sad because most of the people I love and know believe in equality and accountability. We have always had our differences but to deny what is happening in this White House could destroy us. I really cannot begin to understand how Trump is not being held accountable by all of us and it frankly hurts to see this happen. Yes, I feel anger and fear for our schools that this person is to be held up as a person to emulate. I fear for families in poverty that Trump is willing to build a $21 billion dollar wall when our infrastructure needs to be rebuilt and our water system is corroding. Now Flynn 's resignation, and Korea and Russia 's dangerous mindset, it is more important than ever, this administration be held accountable. Tthat is my belief and my mindset. At this time we cannot afford smoke screens and lies. My hope is Republicans will call their representatives and call the White House and demand accountability.
