On behalf of liberals everywhere, let me confirm that yes, we are indeed hell-bent on bringing down Donald Trump and, if possible, his family and business. In this, we are in total agreement. But, like so many others who decry the so-called “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” Gary Wechter’s opinion column fails to ask “Why?” (“A special holiday greeting,” Dec. 27).
Simply put: Donald Trump is a contemptible human being. He is a thief, a con man, a bigot, and a pathological liar. His administration is riddled with corruption. His immigration policies are cruel; his environmental policies are killing us; and his foreign policy is to tear up our treaties, piss off our allies, and high-five our enemies. His very existence is a threat to our security.
On top of all of that, the man is a traitor. Evidence will show that Trump and members of his team had prior knowledge of and communication with Russian agents about the hacking of the Democratic National Committee and their invasion of American social media. His presidency is completely illegitimate. He is only in office because he cheated.
So yeah, we’re trying to bring him down any way we can. Why aren’t you?

Dan Curtis, I could not have said it better myself. Thank you. Your question for Wechter and Trump supporters remains – “why aren’t you” supporting his removal? I am baffled by the contortions white nationalists and white evangelicals go through to justify their ongoing approval of Trump, with mounting evidence of his incompetence to the contrary.
What a disgusting letter. He is our President and has done more positive things for our country and Americans in his short term so far than Obama did in 8 years. Obamas way of serving our country was to do nothing but take his family on many lavish vacations at the taxpayers expense, play golf and give away our dollars to foreign countries who dont like America in the first place. Oh what a grand 8 years his family had at our expense!
Im just happy to know that fanatics like you are in the minority and confident that Donald Trump will will another 4 years!
Woah horsey, Victoria you’re so far off! Dan’s letter is right on and his insights and thoughts reflect the majority of the world’s population including the population of this Country. Trump has done NOTHING for this Country except put us in further debt and make us the laughing stock of the world. Stop listening to Fox News and educate yourself. Trump has played more frigging golf than Obama ever dreamed of and YES, TRUMP is a disaster and will be gone within two years and hopefully in prison with his family.
Sure, Trump, by his own words and actions is obviously an obscene, vile, and repugnant, cowardly draft dodging psychopath, he still isn’t the problem, it’s the system. The US was the most violent and terrorist nation in the world before Trump, it remains so with Trump, and it will continue to be so regardless of who replaces Trump. It really is the system… And while Trump is certainly all those things and more, he is simply the more obvious obscene face of US empire…
That being said, while it is understandable that some felt compelled to vote for him in the first place, that there are actually those who continue to support him despite his numerous lies, cruelty, and obscene behavior is one for the ages…
People like this are the reason I voted for Trump. I don’t care what he’s done or not done, the opposition are insane. Russia? Really? That’s still a thing? Trump is ending the Middle East wars for Israel. Remember when the left used to be anti-war? Those were the days.

Trump and Putin are pinky and the brain trying to take over the world. Between Putin, Jung Un and Trump, of those three succeed in their plans the whole world will serve them and their evil plans. No one will be able to defeat their plans and everyone will be enslaved by them. What then? We think back to hitler and ask ourselves how so many people supported him in his attempts to take over the world, how could those who supported Hitler not see his evil intent and stand up against it? They were blinded by their loyalty and no one wants to discover that they are harboring the most evil villain in history. Maybe the end of the world or the end of the human race is near?
