Donald Trump is a failed role model - "no moral values": Echo letter

"What has happened to decency? Is it gone forever?"
This echo lesson about Trumpian incivility was published in HoumaToday, a Louisiana newspaper.
Donald Trump's perverse words are no laughing matter

This is a letter to all of the people who have young children who are very impressionable. This is our next generation.

We have been taught as part of an older generation that we should respect our elders and be kind to everyone, n
o matter race, creed or color.
Where has this idea gone? We have a president of the United States who says anything, does anything, exhibits no moral values, and there are thousands of people who believe that what he says is funny and acceptable. I have seen some of their kids at many of his rallies who are listening to what this president says.

He calls people “human scum” or “crazy” or “bullshit,” and his followers just find that so funny. My question is, what is funny about belittling other human beings?

You must remember that your kids are watching you, and what you do or say or even believe will and can have an effect on them. You can’t teach your kids to be respectful to others when you sit behind a president who shows no respect and you go along with it.

You must remember, what goes around will surely come around. What has happened to decency? Is it gone forever? I am prayerful that there are still many individuals out there who still know right from wrong, decency from indecency.

I can remember when the person who was the president of these United States had high moral values and revered the position he held. What we have now leaves me wondering.

What in the world has happened to those who still feel as I do and want to gain that time back when we have someone in the White House that is not only respected but is respectful? What has happened to those who are called “evangelic?”
The God I know and serve commands us to love not some people, but all people. How can many of you go along with this president’s rhetoric where he talks about Mexicans and Latinos and other minority groups as not being part of the human society?
If you believe the Bible, you can’t take part of it and make it fit your values; you must take it in its totality. Can we allow four more years of this kind of immoral behavior?

The Rev. Thomas Williams Jr.,  Houma Louisiana
