So, who will stop Trump?

Posted

To the Editor,

John Cervone, in his Trump-style, invective-laced letter “Who will stop the Clintons?” doesn’t mention his choice for political savior. However, we can assume it’s the Republican bad choice. Mr. Cervone devoted his comments to castigating Hillary based on decades-old conspiracy theories espoused by The Donald. He seems indoctrinated to the vague ideas and pie-in-the-sky promises and outright lies originating from the Tweetmaster.

It makes you wonder what people see in a so-called self-made millionaire, who started with several million from his father, and an even greater amount he inherited when Pappy departed this mortal coil. He managed to involve himself in real estate ventures financed with Other People’s Money, avoiding using his own cash, and scooting away before inevitable bankruptcies ruined his investors.

Trump conned several thousand gullibles into enrolling in Trump

University, then later claimed he was not a party when the roof fell in. He’s used his charitable foundation to pay off, illegally, his court-ordered legal debts. This despite not having contributed a penny to his own charity for years, despite announcing publicly his altruism, to his own fund. He’s charged his campaign inflated prices to rent his own facilities and has taken over $1.5M as payment for flying his Secret Service contingent on his own plane.

Apparently running for president is a money-making opportunity for Trump. He’s shown himself to be racist (insulting Mexicans, Moslems,

African-Americans- or as he calls them ‘the blacks’). He’s misogynistic (we all know his degrading comments about women). He’s hypocritical, complaining that the president of Mexico used foul language while DJT spouts four-letter words often. He loves dictators like Putin, wants to get friendlier with him, demolish NATO, and allow Russia a free hand in Europe. He wants to cut taxes on the wealthy, in effect giving himself a huge raise, while denying a raise in the minimum wage to those who truly require it. The list goes on. But what is worst about him is his volatile temperament.

We should ask ourselves if this is the man we want with his finger on the nuclear button, who could plunge the world into a devastating humanity-ending war. He recommended firing at Iranian gunboats because their sailors gave our boat the finger. He sees nothing wrong with violence against peaceful protestors at his rallies, and even pledged to pay legal fees for anyone arrested for assault (we assume with cash from his foundation).

Having Trump in charge would be like asking an unskilled person to fly a commercial jet, or perform brain surgery. Trump has shown a lack of knowledge about basic Constitutional concepts, even calling for a re-institution of ‘Stop and Frisk,” which was ruled illegal several years ago. He loves waterboarding, even complaining it doesn’t go far enough, although the practice was banned several years ago. The rule of law means nothing to him, as his past actions indicate.

So Mr. Cervone’s question would better be “Who will stop Trump?”

    Yes, Mr Nordin is probably right about all of his claims against Mr Trump, but that does alter the choice we have before us.

    Hillary will continue the lurch of the USA to the Left with more government programs, regulations, workers and, of course, more taxes, while at the same time opening the borders to all the illegal drugs, criminals and cheap products. She will promote the programs of Obama and if you are not sure what they be just read the latest transcript of his speech to the UN; an endless dribble about an "integrated world economy" and erosion of American freedoms and ensuring that the US Constitution is nullified. She will make Liberal (Marxist) appointments to the Supreme Court that endorse all the leftist programs that her friends have in mind.. And remember FBI Director spelled out the criminal charges against Hillary and left the decision to the American voter to indict.

    Mr Trump cannot reverse the slide towards Sodom & Gomorrah, but he will build a beautiful wall and wish us Merry Christmas while doing so!
