MAGA, I need your help. You are doing a lot of changes to our government that have me confused and fearful, like the following: Trump revoked the security details for former National Security Advisor John Bolton, former CIA Director and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Dr. Anthony Fauci — despite ongoing credible threats against their lives. Also, Trump eliminated all protections for Gen. Mark Miley.

Now, I know Trump does and says things that are cruel, but this goes beyond that in that it appears to be life-threatening and vindictive.

I’m not a billionaire so I can’t ask Trump why he did this, so I am doing the next best thing by asking you to help explain this. I mean, would you act like this? How about Elon Musk and his takeover of all things financial? Apparently, he has taken control of the Treasury Department’s payment system, meaning he now has intimate knowledge of financial information for you and me. What about IRS data? Who gave him the authority to do this?

I’m angered to say the least; I didn’t elect him to be able to peer into my financial data. Imagine how an administration can put the screws to anyone who complains about the actions of the president or his friends. This sort of stuff happens in Russia, hopefully not here.

Are we going back to the days of Richard Nixon and his enemies list? Are you OK with that and can you explain the rationale to me?
