Sounds like Trump talking

Sat., Dec. 28, 2019

I don’t understand why all the troubles that the president is having is blamed on the Democrats when it is his doing.

The letter from Arlie Kellogg (“Democrats are grasping,” Dec. 19) sounds just like the president wrote it for him. He is using Trump’s words and acts like Trump didn’t do anything wrong and it has the mean words that Trump would use. I can understand standing by your party, but when he has done wrong admit it.

I am 65 and I have never seen the country so divided since this president. I wasn’t a Democrat any more than a Republican but now I am more of a Democrat because of the way the Republicans are acting.
