Dear editor:
In my opinion, Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for president, must be disqualified. He is disqualified because he only talks about building a wall on our southern border, instead of concentrating on stopping illegal drug use in the U.S.
He and the other Republican candidates have failed to even mention American's incessant need for illegal drugs. American's insatiable hunger for illegal drugs is probably the main reason for the problems on the border. America's use of millions of dollars south of the border for "the war on drugs" would be better used right here in the U.S. in order to stop illegal drug use here.
In my opinion, Trump has shown that his shallow thinking on this and other serious matters reminds me of a classical example of his prejudiced Nationalsozialismus (national socialism) views. Look it up!
Europe experienced the results of these NS views in World War II. I lived in Europe for almost 30 years and have been made of aware of the problems created by NS. Good Americans must stand up against the bully and his NS views. Trump has a dark shadow on his soul and has shown his true colors from the start, however, they are not red, white and blue.
