To the Securities and Exchange Commission: As citizens of the USA we need more transparency in our government not less. We have worked hard for what we have saved and invested in the NYSE. It's bad enough that those in the White House, Congress, and the GOP cronies of the President have and are wasting our taxpayer dollars on absolutely ridiculous spending such as: a Guinness Book of World Records for the 4th of July fireworks show last night in DC; demolishing the East Wing of the White House for a ballroom that was never voted on; Trump wants to add an Arch in his honor between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery; he wants to add his head and face to Mt. Rushmore because he believes he is worthy of such an honor; he believed he was also entitled to add his name to the Kennedy Center above that of Former President John F. Kennedy; he believes he is entitled to have paper and coin US money minted with his likeness added; he believes he was entitled to a Noble Peace Prize never mind that he has started a war in Ukraine years in the making; he has started a war with Iran because they won't bend over and turn all of their oil in the region over to this country; he kidnapped the President of Venezuela; he has killed people who he simply thinks are smuggling drugs without any substantial evidence, and on and on. Wherever and whenever he does not believe he and the GOP will prevail in US Elections, he plain and simple cheats! He and his GOP, MAGA, etc. change the rules as they see fit! They gerrymander voting districts, they work to prevent mail in voting and prevent various ethnicities from voting whether US Citizens or not, they deport immigrants regardless of US Citizenship and the fact that these individuals have served in the US Military never mind they were promised citizenship for serving in our military. I know for a fact many immigrants who are here in this country legally feel threatened by Trump and ICE. They hesitate to visit family in their home countries and/or attend funerals for fear they won't be permitted to return to this country. Getting Visas to travel has become increasingly difficult. Obtaining green cards has taken at least 10 years to obtain* despite the fact these same people have held gainful employment in this country, paid taxes at least annually, actively participate in their communities and neighborhoods, completed all necessary paperwork with dotted i's and crossed t's on a timely basis for their green cards. Trump, the GOP including members of Congress continue to pick away at our rights to SSA, Medicare, and Medicaid. Worse yet they threaten to cut these benefits all together! After all they don't need these services because they have been adding to their personal coffers since their first day in office if not before. How do you think Trump has increased his net value in the last year alone by billions of dollars!!! Certainly not by working hard at his chosen job as President. He's been following other authoritarian leaders as his guide on how "to rule" this country. He has obliterated our Constitution to meet his own agenda! We don't have nor do we want Kings in the USA!!! * Of course if the immigrants wanting citizenship are related to Trump, his in-laws for instance, they are immediately granted citizenship. This does not even begin to cover all of Trump's and his ignorant followers' wrongs perpetrated on the Citizens and Legal Immigrants of this country!!!
