Every day Trump does something that goes against what the U.S. has stood for in the past.
In the last 2 days there have been 3 more incidents that require the President to do something about it and he probably won't. In all cases that came up today there is a clear path of action and it is highly unlikely that Trump will do the right thing:
1) Russia closed the Strait between Crimea and Russia to the Sea or Azov which prevents ships from taking supplies to Ukraine. This is an act of war by Putin against Ukraine and Trump should be doing something about it because we have an agreement with Ukraine to protect them. 20 years ago, Ukraine gave up their nuclear program at our request and with the understanding that we would protect them against Russia and Trump is doing very little about it.
2) It was stated by Trump yesterday that giving Manafort a pardon is "not off the table". This is a man that was not only a criminal but that worked against the interests of the United States for many years and Trump is considering giving him a pardon?

3) It was stated this morning that Veterans will not receive GI benefits they are due, due to a computer glitch. Thousands of veterans will be out on the street and homeless due to the backlog of the "Forever GI Bill" that was signed by Trump in 2017. The computer glitch is something that could be fixed but the government is unwilling to spend what is necessary to get it done and now many veterans will suffer because of it.
