Letter to the editor: Let Trump keep fighting corruption

During his inaugural address President Trump spoke about the relationship between the people of this country and the government class in Washington. He used the line, “Their victories have not been your victories. Their triumphs have not been your triumphs.” Although accurate, I would have added, “Their prosperity has not been your prosperity.”

The government class in Washington has been getting rich off working Americans for many years. There are countless scams that line the pockets of politicians (and their families, friends and cronies) paid for by working Americans. One does not have to look very hard to see that every politician in Washington is a multi-millionaire. Every bill in Washington funnels money to a politician in some way.

Trump is fighting this corruption. But the politicians are fighting back. And losing. They know they cannot beat him at the ballot box — so they are going to try to remove him through impeachment.

The only crime Trump has committed is the “crime” of ending government corruption and cleaning out the cesspool in Washington. All corrupt politicians in Washington are saying to themselves, “We gotta get rid of this guy.” Do not let them have this victory.
