Letter to the editor: Trump doesn't have qualities needed to serve common good

Tribune-Review

According to the article “Why Butler County is so crucial to Trump’s election chances” (July 6, TribLive), southwestern Pennsylvania and Butler County play significant roles in the upcoming election.

We remain concerned Catholics who have been challenged to integrate gospel aspirations when we vote.

To be more specific we consider honesty, empathy and hard work while assessing leaders.

During Donald Trump’s four years in office and during the recent debate, we heard a litany of lies and distortions, as well as encouragement towards violence. These, his consistent practices, seem the antithesis of common decency and civility; repugnant in a president; and nowhere at home in gospel ideals.

The former president remains inherently lacking in empathy and honesty, qualities essential for every leader who will serve the common good for this already great nation.
