Redirect campaign billions

After months of shocking utterances of hate, bigotry, and insanity, it is inconceivable that Donald Trump’s followers still applaud him.

If the billions spent on political campaigns were directed to society’s well-being, our country would benefit and improve its moral image throughout the world.
