Yes, Mark from Kittery Point, Maine, wants the Editor to know, that it’s Trump’s insouciance, his casual lack of concern, nonchalance, calm, equanimity, composure, ease and airiness that he brings to America and the world “in the face of such fire-breathing criticism,” that Trump’s supporters, just like Mark love.
For Karen from Michigan, who is definitely sick and tired of Trump, I have sad news: there is no greater threat to our freedom than a president who is literally unstable, not normal and unfit to carry out the duties of his office and who on a daily basis intentionally inflicts serious harm upon Americans and the stability of the world.
I am shaking my head in disbelief of the one writing above depicting Bill Clinton’s sex with an intern in the oval office as worse than the twitter behavior of Trump! Granted, Clinton showed a certain level of disrespect for the sanctity of the oval office but sex is actually a normal private behavior between granting individuals and don’t forget that Clinton eventually faced impeachment as a result of that entire encounter.
You are delusional if you seriously believe that “the whole twitter debate”, as you capsule the issues that ‘We, the people’ have with Trump’s overall behavior is diminished by sex between consenting adults! You can cherry-pick just the words from these other letter writers and have a far more cogent case of the damages to our society!
“True character, misogynist, conspiracy theorist, liar, large ego, thin skin, no filter, despicable, unhealthy obsession, lacks fundamental skills to calm down, impulsive, angry, vengeful, jeopardize our existence, disgusting and sexist”….oh, and even your own big word “insouciance” (lack of care or concern; indifference)!
No sir, WE don’t live in your world where tweets/social media rule. Nor do we necessarily agree with your comment “overtly antagonistic fake-news media” cause Trump to defend himself. It is not fake news simply because Trump does not like it and all this current discord began when the media reported the quote from his own public tweet. Again, your own words “he ain’t gonna stop” is precisely why we want him out of our White House.
And finally, again your own words – “his supporters love the tweets” – yes, we know…….

well, my take is a little different on that.
i think the most important point about the Clinton comparisons is that they are irrelevant.
this administration and its defenders habitually point to bad things other people did as an excuse for what Trump does.
that doesn’t make any more sense than it would make for me to get pulled over for drunk driving and tell the arresting officer the following: “sir, I shouldn’t go to jail for driving drunk because one time, someone stole a TV.”
100% agree! Like the rest of trump’s cult, they typically try to use some unrelated story to defend him when in fact their unrelated story only emphasizes they have no defense!
I simply could not resist pointing out to him how stupid it was AND that clinton ended up impeached. And since I was throwing in so much more of his own words to emphasize his own ignorance…..well, then, why not!?! 🙂

I think I was about 5 years old when my mother taught me that the excuse “Johnny gets to ….. (stay up late, not eat his peas, etc) doesn’t wash. She replied “if Johnny jumped off a bridge, would you jump too?”.
I guess young Donnie was off suing somebody when his mother was handing out words of wisdom.
