Your letter covers all of CNN’s and MSNBC’s talking points. That causes a problem. Where’s the beef? Legacy media is Dead. You can only yell “Trump is like Hitler” so many times before the American people change the channel and change the channel they did. Recent data shows that 36% of Americans place no trust and 33% have little trust, in legacy media; while Fox News viewership jumped 40% year over year.

I would like to address some of your unfounded talking points:

Our country is going broke. The interest on our National Debt, which is $36 trillion, exceeds our Defense Department budget. We are on a path to fiscal insolvency. Musk’s DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) team has saved the American taxpayers $115 billion thus far. More examples of the waste, fraud and abuse: $45 million spent for DEI scholarships in Burma and $375.14 million spent on DEI contracts. The American taxpayers funded these outrageous expenditures.

Ukraine, led by former comedian President Zelensky, received $350 billion from the U.S. and of that, $100 billion is unaccounted for. Zelensky came to The WH and insulted our country. Trump wants peace, Zelensky on the other hand, wants us to continue to fund his never-ending war. Not happening. Under Trump we had no new wars. Biden gave us two wars.

Reciprocal tariffs are being used against countries who have been ripping us off through trade. It’s America FIRST now. The playing field is being leveled. We are no longer the world’s piggy bank.

Your tax cuts statement is false. A fact sheet released (02/25/2025) by Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (MO-08), shows President Donald Trump’s 2017 tax cuts primarily benefited low and middle income families while increasing the share of taxes paid by the wealthy.

In closing, America is winning again. Winning like never before. Apple just announced a $500 billion investment in the U.S. FBI Director Kash Patel is going to rebuild trust in the FBI. And we have President Donald Trump to thank for it.
