Since Donald Trump has been President of the United States, what negative impacts has him being president caused you personally?

One third of my co-workers have been laid off (I work in energy efficiency) my travel has been curtailed, so I cannot effectively do my job. I am no longer supposed to use the words climate change in my job... Literally.

I am in the lucky few who expect to pay about $2,000 more in taxes this year, and even more in 5 years when the very specific deductions and special exclusions expire, raising taxes on lower earners even more. I effectively missed out on a raise this year (FAR less than COLA) in spite of being one of the top performers in my company.

A house in my neighborhood blew up from a natural gas well, killing two, and another well blew up less than two miles away, killing one. This is estimated to have reduced my home's value by 8-10%. I don't specifically blame Trump for these two occurrences, but I do blame his rhetoric on regulation, as no effective new regulations have been put into place since (one very useful one that would have added less than $1 per month to our energy bills was filibustered down in the state by Republicans), and it is specifically not allowed to be talked at during town planning meetings, due to the power the oil companies hold over our local governments.

My father (a Trump supporter) who has beat cancer multiple times, and has substantial heart problems, refuses to retire, because he doesn't believe Obamacare will be around long enough in an affordable form to cover the spread between retirement and Medicare eligibility for my mother, who at this rate will only be eligible for a year or two until the well runs dry anyway.

I want to move, but the expected increase in taxes, lack of raise, reduced home value, and concern for other economic factors (how stable is my job, really?), has forced me to push that off for 6 months so far, and likely another year at this point, until I have saved enough to cover the potential risk.

Internet Neutrality was just rescinded today, so I expect some pretty bleak impacts from that as well...
