Please help me compile a list for a Trump voter

I will be writing a letter to a Trump voter who still doesn't think he's done anything bad, and so she still supports him. Please help me compile a list of all the ways that this person is going to be hurt (she's a rural white voter) by Trump. I have some ideas, but I want to make sure I can cover as many as possible! Thank you.

Does she thinking mentally ill people should be allowed to buy assault rifles? (One paranoid gun owner can take out 2 Girl Scouts on the porch selling cookies in a nanosecond.)

That impacted OUR right to know.

And his obsession with "fake news" is a feeble attempt at deflecting the truth.

7. We are Likely in the Midst of a Trade War with Mexico.

'The White House has threatened to charge import taxes upwards of 20 percent for Mexican exports to the United States. In the meantime, Mexico has targeted American corn. This is Mexican Senator Armando Ríos Piter, who has written legislation that will stop the imports of US Corn. Mexico is the largest importer of American corn, and it is a staple of the Mexican diet going back ten thousand years.

They intend to replace this American corn with both Brazilian and Argentinian corn. Mexico is starting to turn south, ever so slowly

This will hurt corn growers in the midwest. Mexico is one of the largest importers. This is from CNN reporting, as well as multiple Mexican media.

This is not the only sign that a trade war has started. You want avocados? The US had agreed to allow avocados from the state of Jalisco to come in during the Obama years, but the test shipment of five trucks was stopped at the border. Mind you, those from the bordering state of Michoacan are still coming in.'>>>

8. Trumps Victory Means Goodbye To Appalachian Trail.

'As a kid in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, one of the small pleasures was to venture outside during the magic hour. Those few moments when the sun dipped behind the Appalachians before disappearing entirely.

It was as though nature was standing on tip-toe waiting for change when daylight would give way to fireflies and darkness. This was the juncture when American redstarts, gray catbirds, robins and red-winged blackbirds provided the soundtrack for twilight.

If Donald Trump has his way, those moments will be lost to another generation. According to Forbes, Trump and Rex Tillerson own shares in the pipeline which is about to sever the Appalachian Mountains and spread natural gas along the Appalachian Trail.

Anyone curious about environmental protections the new administration will obliterate just has to take a peek at the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s legislative scheme, “Free to Prosper.” A plan which would have been rejected a few months ago as a looney wish list of a far-right fringe group, the report is a frightening show of the planned offensive on environmental regulations.'>>>
