Donald Trump should do what he did during the Vietnam War: "stay home"!
Tulsa World Editorial Board...."We don’t know why he chose Tulsa, but we can’t see any way that his visit will be good for the city." Opinions from Oklahoma.
Letter to the editor of Tulsa World and Editorial Board opinion.
This is the wrong time.
Tulsa and the nation remain on edge after the May 25, police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
Donald Trump invented bone spurs to stay out of going to fight in Vietnam. Where are those bone spurs when America needs for him to stay home?
Letter to the editor of Tulsa World and Editorial Board opinion.
Dear Editor: Mayor G.T. Bynum should take steps to ensure protecting Tulsa citizens from COVID-19 during President Donald Trump's rally on Friday, not to mention the load of lies that will be brought to our city.
Bynum and the BOK Center would do well to back out of the atrocious visit because it will further split our citizens instead uniting them. Try healing and uniting Tulsans by not insulting a large part of the city's population. From James Cook in Tulsa OK
Tulsa World editorial: This is the wrong time and Tulsa is the wrong place for the Trump rally.

Maine Writer opinion: Donald Trump is coming to Tulsa Oklahoma to lead a *Nazi style beer hall* campaign rally.
Tulsa Editorial: It will be his first, since such events were suspended earlier this year because of the COVID-19 shutdown.
Tulsa is still dealing with the challenges created by a pandemic. The city and state have authorized reopening, but that doesn’t make a mass indoor gathering of people pressed closely together and cheering a good idea. There is no treatment for COVID-19 and no vaccine. It will be our health care system that will have to deal with whatever effects follow.
The public health concern would apply whether it were Donald Trump, Joe Biden or anyone else who was planning a mass rally at the BOK.

Trump, a divisive figure. He will attract protests, the vast majority of which we expect to be peaceful. But, there may also be confrontation and inappropriate behavior from some.
In fact, Trump's 2016, Tulsa rally provoked a heated response for some, and his ability to provoke opponents has only grown since then.
Again, Tulsa will be largely alone in dealing with what happens at a time when the city’s budget resources have already been stretched thin.
There’s no reason to think a Trump appearance in Tulsa will have any effect on November’s election outcome in Tulsa or Oklahoma. It has already concentrated the world’s attention of the fact that Trump will be rallying in a city that 99 years ago was the site of a bloody race massacre.
This is the wrong place for the rally.
When the president of the United States visits your city, it should be exciting. We think a Trump visit will be the antithisis of exciting, because he is staging a relection rally in Tulsa, for all the wrong reasons and we can’t welcome it.
