Letters to the Editor

Stop the lies about Trump. He’ll make America great again.

This letter is in reference to a letter alluding to a similarity between Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler.

There is no question the presumptive Republican nominee, Donald Trump, is frightening the liberals, socialists and communist supporters, with his pro-American, anti-corruption stance of "Make America Great Again," as it resonates with the American public.

When you read the ad hominem, false and misleading headlines about "The Donald," you can see why there is a such a strong call for his defeat. 

Smearing Trump with such names as a Hitler, Mussolini, labels like “bully” and other such stupid remarks, shows the lack of intelligence on the instigators. Hitler and Mussolini were both socialists. You know who presently is a socialist? It isn't Trump, who’s a conservative.

The news media pundits have been brutal on Trump during the last few weeks, reporting half-truths, false and misleading claims, which have seemingly tarnished his image. But, I have faith in the voters. When they get to hear, see and observe the distortions, they will come back in their support of Trump.

And so with the Democratic play book of misleading stories, the media and other such inaccurate views, the hatemongers are getting horribly out of hand, causing disruptions at Trump rallies and forums. The anarchist protesters show no courtesy to the peaceful Trump supporters, as they display hateful manners,waving foreign flags, setting fire to the American flag, and acting like a goon squad of psychedelic crazies.

In fact, the poisonous rhetoric has gotten so bad, a British national, illegally in the U.S., attempted to shoot Trump. Where is the sanity of such an action?

We, as civilized people, must not let such emotions corrupt our civility, freedom of expression, democratic fairness and our precious ideals of liberty. 

To me, Trump will be the person who will get the United States rolling again with jobs; fair trade deals; a pause in allowing refugees to pour into the country without proper vetting; a strong economy; unscrambling the deplorable situation at the Veterans Administration; a strong national defense; an armed forces fully equipped and prepared; and building a sturdy, impenetrable wall along the border with Mexico.

In other words, he’ll make America great again.
