QUINCY, MA — It’s no secret that President Donald Trump isn’t the most popular guy around Massachusetts, and concern from residents is expected in a state known for voting blue, but one Quincy woman is taking her worry to federal court.

Rossi Wade, formerly of Plymouth and now of the City of Presidents, recently filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Boston against the United States government and Trump, accusing the commander in chief of discrimination, mental anguish, and mental cruelty against her. The lawsuit additionally states that she suffered a loss of enjoyment of life and emotional damage. (For more local Quincy news, subscribe to the Quincy Patch.

“November 8, 2016, Donald J. Trump was elected as President of the United States. From June 16, 2015, until March 20, 2017, I have experienced loss of enjoyment of life, I have been tormented by the thought of him, as well as, sight and the sound of his voice frightens me, I am unable to sleep, focus or believe in a secure future for myself and daughter,” Rossi wrote, according to federal court documents.

Rossi said Trump has been giving her nightmares since June 2015 and is now under the care of a physician. Since the appointment of Betsy DeVos as the secretary of education, Rossi claims she has been only able to get two hours of sleep a night, down from four hours.

“I am a mother rearing my child, trying to maintain a level of respect and teach my child to respect authority. It is straining after hearing Donald J. Trump disrespect authority all the while I am trying to explain he is not above the law,” Rossi wrote.

Rossi is demanding $1 billion in compensation for the alleged damages against her.

As of April 26, Rossi’s lawsuit risks being dismissed following a denied motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis due to an incomplete motion. The plaintiff has 21 days to either pay a $400 filing fee or submit a complete motion. Failure to do so will likely result in dismissal.

Rossi’s lawsuit is one of 134 filed in federal court against Trump since his inauguration.
