In regard to Mr. Farber’s letter to the editor (Sept. 12), I have never seen the words of Christ applied to a politician. The words are supposed to explain what President Trump is doing to the country. I wish I could see what Mr. Farber sees in President Trump, but I cannot. I see this:
• President Trump claims he is for the little man, but his massive tax cut mainly helped big corporations and the wealthy.
• President Trump tried to wipe out the Affordable Care Act without having a viable replacement, and millions of people would have lost their healthcare insurance.
• By withdrawing from the Iran deal, President Trump showed our allies and the world that America doesn’t keep its promises.
• President Trump calls people he disagrees with derogatory names as if he had stepped off a children’s playground.
• President Trump’s opinion on something appears to depend on what he last saw on Fox News or the last person he spoke to. His word cannot be trusted.
• President Trump pulled out of the Paris Agreement and continues to roll back environmental protection measures. Scientists say climate change exists.
• President Trump never admits mistakes even when he believes Vladimir Putin over American intelligence sources in regard to Russian meddling.
• President Trump tries to run the government like a company. The American government is not a company. Companies are interested in profits alone. Governments are responsible for taking care of an entire country and that country’s place in the world.
Is this cleaning house? President Trump ran for president but didn’t think he would win. He is still the most unprepared person for the job, and he hasn’t changed since January 2017. I only hope that our nation does not have a national crisis under his watch.
