Worst administration yet

I am writing to rebut Rob Leach’s letter (“It’s we the people,” Aug. 2). He regularly states how Trump has made the economy so great — actually, he inherited it from President Obama. Since COVID has made its ugly appearance, the economy has fallen into the abyss. The GDP is now a record low of -32.9% and another 1.4 million Americans have filed for unemployment. So, he can’t say the economy is Trump’s greatest strength. Far from it.

Trump’s handling of the pandemic is so shoddy and his refusal to back up scientists and their knowledge is pathetic. Remember his famous words “I alone can fix it”? His latest was going to have a terrific health plan in TWO weeks … that has come and gone.

He still harps on that there is so much fraud with mail-in voting, when in fact mail-in and absentee are exactly the same and he votes absentee? When that doesn’t work, he now wants to postpone the election, and is trying to slow down the mail delivery in hopes that the ballots don’t get to their right place in time to be counted.

His 20,000+ lies in three and a half years, and most Trump supporters just eat it up like candy. He is slowly destroying the Constitution so little at a time, that most don’t notice. He thinks he is above our rule of law.

This is the ninth administration I have lived through, and it is the worst and most corrupt. This country can’t stand another four years of a Trump presidency, unless we want an autocratic /dictatorship form of government.

Wishing for a blue tsunami on November 3rd.
