Letter to the editor: Government battleground

I recently read and reread a letter to the editor about our government. Then I thought about all the drama in our government. How can a government that has always stood for fairness and understanding become a battleground?

Politicians have failed to agree on anything — because a certain person keeps them afraid to make any reasonable decisions. The wall President Trump wants so badly will not end the immigration problem. There is always a way to bypass things. Money and greed will find a way.

Then I see Trump wearing a flight jacket and shaking hands with military personnel. He does not have the right to wear any clothing pertaining to our military. Five deferments? You have to be kidding. This country fought a war from 1941-45 to remain free — a war with a dictator who wanted to take over everything.

Now we have a person who wants to be a dictator and tell everyone what to do, playing games with the government and criticizing anyone who doesn’t agree with him. What next, a Gestapo?
