To the Editor:
Remember when candidate Donald Trump, in reference to his supporters’ loyalty stated, “I could shoot a person on Fifth Avenue and not lose one vote.”? The roar of the audience response caused me to realize this guy has a significant number of ‘True Believers.’
“Senator John McCain isn’t a war hero for being shot down over North Vietnam. A true hero would not be captured, but would escape and return to fight again,” Mr. Trump said. “With two broken legs and a broken arm, McCain’s mobility may have been a bit limited. It’s particularly galling the critique is from the mouth of someone who avoided the conflict because of bone spurs, the infirmity of choice for the rich and privileged.
Owning the Miss USA, Miss Universe and Miss Teen USA pageants, Donald Trump felt entitled to enter dressing rooms while contestants were changing during the competition! He even bragged about his action during a radio interview with Howard Stern. Our president enjoys fondling women’s privates because, “the rich and famous can get away with it.”

To date, 16 women have accused him of improper actions - even rape. He’s denied the accusations, in spite of copies of signed checks to buy a porn star and a former Playmate’s silence.
True Believers give him a pass on all the above.
Worst of all is President Trump’s continued support by evangelical clerics throughout America. Hypocrites all!
Space prevents me from commenting on so many other subjects; maybe next month. Let’s end this with one interesting stat.
President Trump and most Republican pols take full credit for the improving economy over his first two years in office. During that same period, America’s debt has grown by TWO TRILLION DOLLARS! A trillion here, a trillion there - even America’s economy might budge. Who pays the ticket?
