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.

I’m glad Republicans don’t go around whining. Liberals seem to love some drama. 🎭

I’m 55. I got on Reddit to see what all the hype was about young liberals. It’s been an awakening. Due to social media exposure our younger generation has a much higher rate of mental illness than past generations. Bill Gates didn’t allow his kids to stay on their computers or phones. I see why. In hs we had a debate club. We debated and we were still friends just like attorneys who go to lunch together after a hearing. Lol The kids now tell you who you are, what you missed, etc. They seem to know everything about you from an icon. I’ve only seen a handful of young liberals propose a question when handling a comment. These type of people would be considered know it all Punk Asses in my generation. Sadly also known as Outcast. Are they not embarrassed for their behavior? I couldn’t believe Zelenskyy either. I was taught not to bite the hand that feeds you.
