He nearly killed my family and I by firing air traffic controllers resulting in a near midair collision of our plane.

We used to call them hobos. They weren't known to be crazy. In Fresno they had a hobo village. Nobody called them homeless though, at that time you could buy a new 3 bedroom house for about $18K and many trade and professional people made about the same money they make now. A job was all you needed.

Not just that, but the people who were paid to care for them were also fired and their buildings shuttered. He was also the first modern president to cut education funding. Those chickens are now roosting in the heads of all those people who needed that education but didn't get it. He allowed FOTUS
