Dear Editor:
In a recent LTE some of us were branded as “Trump Haters.” This is a strategy used by some to give cover to Mr. Trump and his bad behavior. Honestly if he had the necessary tests and a vaccine, I’d support the Hunchback of Notre Dame for president. It’s not about “like,” it’s about competence of which Trump has little.
His big trade deals have blown up. His big tax cut only went to the 1 percent and did nothing to help folks on Main Street. He’s giving away federal lands set aside for parks and such to folks who want to drill for oil, oil that we do not need. He uses his office like a piggy bank charging our armed forces to use his properties on overseas trips when staying at our own bases would be free to them. He spends weekends at Mar-a-Lago, his private property, and charges us, the taxpayers, and thousands for his secret service detail. He continues other businesses in D.C. that benefit his bottom line for folks seeking influence with him. We are even paying for his children to fly around the world getting patents and private deals all on the taxpayer dime.
But now what we are seeing his ineptitude on steroids. Trump did not produce this virus but his management of it in our country has been horrific. He released the pandemic response team, he ignored signs of the virus in other countries, he shut down travel from China but not Europe which is where much of the virus has entered our country. We have no testing to trace the virus, a serious deficiency in the area of PPE for those who must be on the front lines, and no real plan for how our country is going to get out of this situation.
I believe a President Biden would have been far out ahead of this by now. Throughout this whole ordeal not once has Mr. Trump showed empathy for its victims. It would be just the opposite with Biden. We’ve lost grandmas and grandpas, mothers and fathers, our neighbors and friends to this virus. I consider myself lucky that I have a roof over my head and food in my cabinet when many others do not. This has nothing to do with hate, it’s fear. Period. And those in the White House are clueless!
