Good ‘Letter to the Editor’

 To the Editor:

Re “Trump Says That He Never Promised No New Wars” (news article, June 8):

The temper and infantile nature of President Trump were on display for all with open eyes to see in his recent abbreviated interview with Kristen Welker, the host of NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Ms. Welker dared to ask fair questions and to push back when the president engaged in his usual behavior of obfuscating, making charges without evidence and lying.

Any member of the news media who asks Mr. Trump questions that he does not want to answer is angrily disparaged with a variety of epithets. This time the questioner’s credibility was challenged, and she was branded “crooked” or “stupid” and a member of “the fake, dirty press.”

Predictably, Mr. Trump walked out of the interview, unwilling to take any more heat.

I applaud Ms. Welker for attempting the impossible: getting honest answers from a president who is accustomed to being coddled by individuals who will never challenge him or tell him anything he does not want to hear. The leader of the free world is a lying coward.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

Not sure why,

BUT, am still wearing the necklace. Has been a tradition, for over 30 years, to wear the necklace, 'for awhile', until I lose the feeling, of the beach, in Mexico. Can't say why, but, still have it on. "Tis a sad day, when I take it off, and am not ready to go there, yet. Don't ask. 'Tis an old tradition...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
