Dear editor:
I should like to tell Donald Cunningham (his letter of March 20) "No, no, Donald, you are the one who should grow up!" You should have been demonstrating responsibility and still should be of selecting a leader who is not a sexual predator, a defrauder of students, a liar (Trump is so bold he lies without batting an eye), a draft dodger (he bought himself out of 'Nam four times and now pretends to loves veterans), and a denigrator of women, those of minority religion, the handicapped and even true war heroes like John McCain.
Now tell us all, Donald, how you, and others out there like you, can profess to be such a Christian by wearing your faith on your sleeve and believe that God could possibly approve of any of these sins. That is not what my Bible says. "Be ye doers of the word, not hearers only." "Faith without works is dead." The scriptures are galore demonstrating in Old and New Testament, but especially in the words of Jesus himself (see the four gospels if you have not bothered to read them).
Now all you Trumpites, I relish that your "savior" who loves "alternative facts" had five, get that? five failures last week. His "travel plan," code phrase for keeping out Muslims, failed; his lies about President Obama wire tapping failed, he felt obligated (and this is hard to believe) to actually apologize to Great Britain for accusing it in this no-evidence conspiracy, he got no trade concessions from Merkel in Germany. (Trade wars wind up backfiring and making all items cost U.S. citizens more), and thank God and responsible real Republicans in Congress (one of which he is not) the Trumpcare failed.
Speaking of Trumpcare, you and all Trumpites, should read the full article in the March 20 issue of this paper showing how it would cost older folk 55 and up much more than the present Obamacare costs. And Trump's budget is a total disaster, eliminating any funds for 111 airports like ours in Hot Springs, and reducing funding for the arts and for educational TV to zilch, plus almost wiping out good programs like "meals on wheels."
If you Trumpites bother to read (and read well), you might want to think on these things about your great "hero" and what devastation he is bringing to our great country, which is still great and always has been, regardless of our dark spots in our history, but the darkest spot in my 80 years is seeing this dunce as our official leader.
