Letter: I challenge our lawmakers to be brave enough to stand up to Trump

Does anyone else question why so many of our representatives in Congress and the Senate just go along with whatever President Trump does — even when it’s crazy, like the war in Iran or renaming Lake Ontario or tearing down the White House East Wing or threatening to take away benefits from “blue” cities?

And this is just a small list of the crazy things he has done in his second term.

Why does it appear as if we are prioritizing the interests of one person over the broader interest of our country?

I challenge our senators and representatives to be brave enough to stand up to President Trump. Our nation depends on this kind of bravery.
