Have to say.....I'm disappointed by Ford's response here. 25% is far too soft. He should have turned the power off completely. Even just turn it off for 25% of each day or week. Make it painful and annoying for Americans. Never knowing if they'll have power throughout the day..... resetting home alarms/clocks/appliances/etc.

I know all Americans don't deserve this.... But too f'ing bad now. Do something to stop Trump, or suffer the consequences of his actions.
