President Trump, stop hurting our grandchildren

In the early 1950s, my grandfather was a businessman in a small town in Montana. He was politically active and once ran as the Republican candidate for county commissioner. His word was his bond, he treated women with dignity, he was fiscally conservative and respected the environment. Our current Republican president is making my grandfather roll over in his grave.

This president is not a moral example for our grandchildren. He habitually lies or distort the truth. His comments on women and conduct is appalling.

The comer stone of my grandfather’s political being was economic. Trump’s Fiscal Year 2020 budget projects the federal debt would increase $5 trillion. The debt is at the highest level since shortly after World War II. This debt will be the responsibility of our grandchildren.

Global warming is real and human activity is a significant contributing factor. We are seeing the effects of climate change in numerous ways and it appears that change is occurring faster than originally thought. The policies of this president will cause irrevocable harm. Our grandchildren will inherit planet earth in a very damaged state. For the sake of our grandchildren, President Trump should be a one-term president.
