Trump’s crooked legacy
I’m responding to Jim Barbieri’s ridiculous letter (“Trump the next Reagan”). First of all, my recollections of the Reagan years were failed trickle-down economics, failed response to the AIDS crisis, the high rise in homelessness and the failed drug wars.
Mr. Barbieri thinks our unqualified tweeter in chief has accomplished more in six months than his predecessor in eight years? What planet is he living on? Trump has accomplished absolutely nothing but chaos and hate in the past six months. His hate toward women resulted in one of the biggest protest marches in our history. His so-called travel ban reveals his hate for Muslims. And he’s been trying to take health care away from 22 million Americans because of his hate for Obama. And now he’s tweeting his hate toward the transgendered in our military!
The only legacy this so-called president is going to leave behind is being the most crooked and the most investigated.
