and all the other ICE actions - private prisons in El Salvador, etc., grabbing people off the street w/no due process and imprisoning/deporting them.

Just a few things in a very long list that should give you pause -

Unilaterally destroying the east wing to build a "ballroom" (more likely bunker)
Doge unilaterally destroying decades of experience in government agencies w/mass layoffs
Taking over Venezuela, threats to other countries (notably Cuba currently)
War with Iran - to help Israel
Economics: gas, groceries etc - people claimed they wanted lower costs and they've gotten the opposite
AI - letting billionaires play is resulting in massive loss of jobs, burden on resources such as land/water/power grid

I don't even care about his medical visits or parades he wants to have for himself. He is completely destroying our country and way of life.
