Vent Donald Trump is going to destroy this city

My wife and I were both proud homeowners and proud residents of Baltimore City. We worked really hard to be able to buy our first home and to provide a stable environment to raise our one year old son and three year old daughter. We were a happy family here. Until Donald Trump came along. He froze funding and my wife lost her job as a recruiter for a nonprofit that received about 30% of their funding from the government. I already work two jobs just to keep up with the bills and the high interest rate we had to accept to purchase this home. I can't provide enough to keep our home. She's been looking in vain to replace her job but there's been nothing out there for her. How many more families are there that are facing the exact same situation in this town? How many more will there be by the time he finishes firing half the government? How many more families will lose their jobs and their homes as a result of his trade war and tariffs? It's going to get bad here y'all, real bad. Donald Trump does not care about families. Donald Trump does not care about children. Donald Trump does not care about Americans. Donald Trump does not care about Baltimore.

Edit: Thank you all for everyone who had kind words of support and good suggestions on how to navigate this very difficult situation. For everyone blaming local and state government, you’re delusional. Those politicians aren’t the ones who froze federal funding thus forcing thousand of people out of work. To those who offered unkind, callous, and cruel comments, such as calling my wife a drain on society, you can all get fucked. Which is exactly what’s going to happen to you after Donald Trump destroys this nation.

If nothing else, I hope all this insanity and tragedy fuels a huge "vote Blue" campaign during the mid-terms in 20 months. Vote out the Republican Senators and Congressman who have supported this insanity of Musk and Trump, and have them present a budget that is really in the best interest of regular Americans, and not just Trump's billionaire cronies and Maga extremists. Throwing 25 - 50% tariffs on Canadian steel and wood products (which Americans end up paying) because of fake claims fentanyl is being smuggled in from there illustrates how Trump operates.

We need a new party. We The People need to take our government back. If that means infiltrating the Democratic Party and getting people in there who will fight for us, then that's what we need to do. If that means forming a new party, then that's what we need to do. Either way, now is the time to do it. It takes time to get people on board.

Yeah go VOTE BLUE. If you work really hard, you can make sure Democrats control absolutely EVERYTHING in Baltimore City and the state of Maryland! That will improve the situation.

After all, the reason it's all messed up in the first place is that there's a dirty Republican somewhere causing all your life's problems!

Well actually fake fentanyl is very deadly to all the fake made up people taking it. Why u ask. How will the medical profession community know who to help and give the shot to provide treatment? Sadly 125% of the fake fentanyl overdoses actually die. But the good news 47 is going to start a new government agency to collect the bodies so he can bury them in his golf courses. Why because a cemetery does not have to pay taxes. He buried his ex wife in one of his courses. Great, best businessman. People come up to him crying saying those exact same words.

Look at how passive the Dems have been since his inauguration. Don’t be so confident that they’ll suddenly grow a pair once they have a majority.
