Letter – Williams 8-2-24

To the Editor:

Donald Trumps first term started with racism and ended with a coup.

He started with a Muslim ban and followed with separating children from their parents. Our country went in to free-fall, with his mishandling of COVID, which cost a million Americans their lives and unemployment was at an all time high.

His final act was to start an insurrection to stop the peaceful transfer of power.

He is a convicted felon, who was found liable of sexual assault. He inherited a strong economy that was trending high. He did, however, enjoy a sugar high with the 2017 tax cuts. The country suddenly fell into a recession with the trillions of dollars added to the national debt and we went on a borrowing frenzy.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris navigated us through those trying times, avoiding a full recession. Trump said Harris is as dumb as a rock. Maybe its because she isnt injecting bleach or nuking hurricanes, or writing on weather maps with a Sharpie or looking directly into a solar eclipse.

He also said he doesnt need any more votes, it will all be fixed. If you read the rhetoric correctly, he is saying he will be a dictator and your vote wont matter.

There are still close-minded people in 2024 who think the president should be a white Christian male and anything else is unacceptable. We have but one job. Elect a strong, Black, south-Asian female to lead.

Which scares Trump.

Every generation has been called to do hard things. A lie doesnt become true; evil doesnt become good and wrong doesnt become right just because its accept by a simple majority.
