Letter to the editor: Morals, decency & Trump

I was pleased to see that my letter (“Trump deserved World Series boos”) was appreciated by A. Atkinson (”Tired of Democrats’ letters”). While I respect his right to his opinion, does he honestly believe that will stop me from writing letters about who I feel is the worst and most dishonorable president in my lifetime?

If Atkinson had read any of my previous letters, he may have understood my views a little more. Yes, I am a Democrat, but I am not a staunch Democratic voter. I have voted Republican numerous times, but have never voted for a Republican president. Donald Trump would have never gotten my vote, even if he was a Democrat.

And I’m tired of hearing that it’s because of Hillary Clinton losing. That’s the furthest thing from the truth. It’s about morals, ethics and common decency. He made me hate him with his arrogant and narcissistic ways, calling those who oppose him scum and SOBs. A moral and decent president doesn’t do that publicly. And he sure doesn’t stand at a podium mocking a disabled person.

Trump has created his own image. So please don’t tell me I have to respect a president who has no respect for anyone but himself and those who support him.

Atkinson may be right: Trump may be elected again, I’m sad to admit. And I’ll go on hating him, and writing letters about his wrongdoings, lies and crimes against America — which will all escalate, I’m sure.
