Conn letter: Trump and the media

After reading all the liberal columns and the position of the Statesman, counting out Donald Trump, I understand why a man with no political experience was voted in. Our existing liberal president, in his desire to help causes other than the middle class, has created the following: $20 trillion debt; reduced military; reduced support of allies; more illegals entering and allowed to stay in several states; $1 trillion that was to repair bridges and roads, that disappeared; millions sent to Iran along with reduced overview; increased poverty in most states; race relations at an all-time low; shootings and crime at an all-time high, like Chicago; opponent Hillary Clinton who treated classified documents like family emails, who built a fortune taking money from our enemies for favors and speeches, whose husband was impeached, who promised more of the same as Obama.
