To the editor:
Watching Donald Trump on Tuesday night’s debate was — give me a minute, it’s a lot to process. The only thing that comes to mind is trying to enter the Mariana Trench, where the ocean floor disappears. Sorry, that’s too deep!
Where does one start?
Other than watching him almost frothing at the mouth, and hunched over the podium — I thought that he might knock it over, thankfully he did not, that would prompt the Secret Service to jump into action.
Let me begin by giving him credit for some of the good things he accomplished as president.
Credit, the border was better controlled during the pandemic.
Credit, he pushed hard to get Big Pharma to come up with Operation Warp Speed for the COVID-19 vaccine.
Credit, he did inform our allies that they must contribute more funds for their defense, we were carrying the load.
Credit, he definitely overhauled the Veterans’ Services, it was a mess, as a veteran they can’t do enough for you.
Credit, we were the largest energy producer in the world.
Credit, the economy was good, however, we had a pandemic and many businesses were closed, including manufactures of goods and services.
Thankfully, the federal and state government provided people with a lifeline, i.e. funds, to keep businesses afloat, extending the unemployment benefits.
Trump mentioned once he left office, the economy tanked?
Is he forgetting that commerce almost came to a stop, ships were anchored out in bays waiting to unload, some had never left their ports of origin, and who was out shopping? Most were buying just the basics.
Once things started to open up, there was not enough supply. No matter who was president, like it or not, inflation was going to occur.
As for the border, the U.S. Congress is the government body responsible for enacting laws that govern and secure.
They have done nothing, absolutely not one iota!
Happy there are some who’re throwing in the towel. Good riddance, we need some new blood.
It must be nice to never do anything wrong in one’s life, must be a God-given gift.
Instead of a crown, how about getting a custom-made, of course solid gold with diamonds, halo. Then Trump can forgive me of my wrongdoings.
From then on, he said he’s done nothing wrong, all lies, it’s a hoax, they’re out to get him!
Sounds good?
Does he have no idea how he sounds? Delusional, I would say. Just wave your magic wand and, voila, the war in Ukraine is over! So those suckers and losers can go home to their families and never have to worry as long as Trump is president.
He does not have a clue about foreign policy, I can say as a Navy veteran who did two tours transporting U.S. Marines in 1967 and 1968 in the Mediterranean Sea, I have been to many countries that value our presence.
Without a doubt, I know more about the meaning of foreign policy, and the consequences if we do not support our allies.
Warning all pet owners!
According to Donald Trump, immigrants are eating your cats and dogs. Yeah, he heard it on TV.
At this time, I have no more energy to write about Trump. Sure, there will be more nonsense coming out of his mouth prior to the elections.
One more thing, in one of his TV ads, he had mentioned that he is taking the box of Cheerios back to his cottage. I can’t stop laughing!!
Let me get to his vice-presidential running mate, born in 1984 as James Donald Bowman, aka JD Vance. He subsequently changed his name a total of three times. By the way, the “D” stands for? You guessed it, Donald!
That’s fine with me, he can change it again if he so chooses.
There was a time when he did not speak kindly of Donald Trump. Did he have an epiphany, or was he put under a spell?
Anyway, he’s now Trump’s puppet, and corrects his mistakes while also spreading ridiculous lies. I’m not even going to figure him out. Sure, he will make a fool of himself, just like the puppet master.
Bottom line, Donald, Kamala Harris did eat your lunch!
For the record, I am not affiliated with any political party, my intentions are purely looking at all the facts and using basic common sense.
I’m still learning.
