Letter to the editor: Dump Trump while we can

President Trump’s actions with Ukraine for personal political gain should trouble us all. Worse is the fact that he sees nothing wrong with getting dirt on a political opponent from a foreign country, even after having said as much openly in an interview in June. But worst of all is that there is clearly no one around Trump to restrain him. 

At the start of his term, three generals were able to keep him somewhat in check, James Mattis, John Kelly and H.R. McMaster, until they left and he surrounded himself with yes-men. Should he be reelected and no longer has to worry about polls — and having his Twitter rants approved by the electorate — he will be completely out of control.

Dump Trump. While we still can.
