Stop spreading misinformation
To the editor:
Ms. M.S.: Stop trashing Democrats, as Trump was a Democrat most of his life. Switching between parties a couple of times. (Wikipedia et al).
Those “Dems” he hates also pay for his excessive rallies, and his abuses of the “Emolument Clause”. (The U.S. Constitution Art.1, Sec. 9; Art.2, Sec. 1.) Truly he is not even a real Republican. He is not fiscally conservative as we hold the highest national debt in history. He often compares himself to Abe Lincoln. Abe was a devout and fair man who united a divided nation. Trump has done anything but; we are in a terribly divisive time now. You like quotes, here is one. American, Sinclair Lewis, “When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”
Trump’s new party is that of a cult, (Trumpists), held together with a band of his chosen enablers who are corrupt each in their own right. His voting base is about 1/3 of this country. Clearly he doesn’t represent the majority.
His base consists of the blind and uninformed, those drawn to his vile charisma and crude personality. Some fools and religious zealots believe he is the chosen one. Now, Antifa was formed as an ideology, not a movement, during the rise of Hitler. It was thought that if enough Germans stood up against the Nazi Party (Fascism), then maybe they could’ve stopped the madman. The vast majority of demonstrations sparked by the illegal police killing of George Floyd are peaceful. Protected under the 1st Amendment.
In Minnesota, there was looting and arson. Recall the “Umbrella Man.” He was caught red-handed vandalizing. Immediately, Trump/Barr blamed Antifa. As the police investigated this, they found out that the culprit was actually a white-supremacist/anarchist of the “Boogaloo Boys” type.
As far as COVID-19, it is not a “hoax” as Trump claimed early on. The Copper Country, due to its small population hasn’t seen the worst of it yet. It is a disgrace to downplay the virus when you consider the lives lost already.
The U.S. has only 4% of the world’s population, yet 24% of COVID cases. (CDC, NBC, et al).
Bob Woodward (co-reporter of Watergate fame), has been compiling a new book about Trump. Starting early this year he has taped conversations where Trump admitted he knew about the serious and deadly nature of the virus; this at the same time Trump was downplaying it in public. Calling it “hoax,” a Dem. ploy or saying it would miraculously be gone by Easter.
Trump has been caught and now confirmed by many sources to call veterans “Suckers and Losers.” This has happened on several occasions. As a disabled USMC veteran, I am repulsed. Please tune your TV off of Fox. View reputable channels. It will open your eyes. Perhaps you will be better informed and readers wouldn’t have to question your sense.
