America is great - Donald Trump is not

Re “Trump is no Hitler; he will restore our nation to greatness” letter by John Bonsignor.

Bonsignor has to be one of the most self-righteous, mean-spirited, un-American individuals I have come across. Who is he, and the army of Donald Trump whiners, to say the America isn’t great?

It seems they take this position because they have messed up their own lives and won’t take responsibility for their problems. They like Trump because he tells them whatever their problems are, it is not their fault. He blames it on all of the groups that they hate.

By the way, Hitler and Mussolini were national socialists. If you look up the definition, they were right-wing extremists - just like you.

Also, America is great.
