On March 2, in what should have been a somber, respectful speech about our veterans at the Medal of Honor ceremony, President Trump had the audacity to start bragging about choosing gold drapes and building the “most beautiful ballroom in the world.” Really? Are you kidding me?

People are dying, including children. Our service men and women are risking their lives in this pointless war he started — and he is talking about gold drapes and ballrooms. This narcissistic, clueless, sorry excuse for a president keeps touting “America first.” Yet he started this Middle East war which I believe will send our economy down the toilet.

He went into Venezuela, where we had no business. He wants to take over Greenland (Iceland, he calls it) and Canada. He promised that grocery prices would come down on Day 1 of his administration, but my family is constantly cutting necessities which are now unaffordable.

Here’s an idea: Spend some of those ballroom donations to really help Americans. Feed the hungry. Shelter the homeless. Provide affordable health care to everyone.

Everyone is worried about how AI will affect our country’s future. I think we need to be concerned about the RS (real stupidity) that is already rampant.
