America is great

“Make America Great Again.”

Sorry, Mr. President. America, while not perfect, was great until you came along.

Oh, we might have the greatest military in the world, but when it comes to leadership, we have dropped to second-rate or possibly even worse. You continue to prove your lack of understanding of what your ignorance can lead to, the most recent example being your action to remove the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement.

Perhaps I shouldn’t care that your grandchildren or great-grandchildren will suffer from the fallout of your actions; however, I do care because my grandchildren and great-grandchildren will suffer as well.

Wil Blechman, Miami
