Trumps budget ends Meals on Wheels. I can't believe it. [View all]

I have delivered meals on wheels. The people who rely on this would starve without it. I hate trump and the evil people that work for him. If trump died tomorrow i would celebrate. I have never said this about any president. This is pure evil.

Trump and his people are not americans in my book.. They are evil,greedy, insane people.

Trumps budget simply is, States you are on your own. Poor people you are on your own. You will no longer get help from the federal govt.

My anger has now turned into rage. I will be writing my senators. I am going to demand they start calling for trumps resignation. This bullshit has to end.
