Aloha Diver.  Are you not following the news?  You think the fears about Trump are unfounded?  Did you see his proposed budget?  Was that not cause for enormous alarm?  The budget that passed was put together in Congress.  The GOP fled from most of Trump's proposals because they are terrified of the reaction his tenure in the White House has ignited across the country and rightly fear being swept out of power in the mid-term elections next year.  In other words the alarm -or "hysteria" as you dismissively label it- produced the desired effect.  But the threat has not disappeared. Trump will try again with the next budget to do enormous damage to the fabric of our nation.  So the alarm bells will continue to sound.  Finally, what global warming hysteria?  The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration is now predicting 5 to 8 feet of sea level rise by the end of the century.  I don't know if that is reason to be "hysterical," but it is cause for enormous alarm.
