I found last week’s letter from Ellis Romero (“A warning to Congressional Dems and the irrelevant media,” March 21), warning Democrats and the media to stop attacking President Donald Trump, hypocritical.

When you have a president who constantly attacks individuals, calls them names, insults them, belittles and demeans them, or attacks a deceased American hero like John McCain, criticism from Democrats and the media seem pretty insignificant.

As Romero says, the economy is doing well—as it has since Obama restored it—especially if you can afford to invest in the stock market, but there are other issues.

When there is a president who has seemingly relinquished our role as leader of the free world, who caters to dictators and finds them more credible than his own intelligence agencies, when he has surrounded himself with convicted criminals, spewed hateful rhetoric that has inspired so many hate crimes and such violence, weakened our alliances, and constantly lied to the American people, to call him out is patriotism.

  3. Bravo, Tom, and thanks for sending this in to New Times for printing. I often write replies on this website but few people see the comments so it’s important to get it in print.

  4. >John McCain
    >hero
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    But seriously Tom, nothing you are saying is true. I bet you watch TV

  5. Ok. So, gas prices are soaring, tax returns are down for most of us ( except CEO’s and political leaders), people are being treated like animals at the border. The world is losing faith in America. We are fighting with each other. Real swampy stuff.
    Are we tired of winning yet?
