I think therefore I cannot support Donald Trump! Everytime I see a Trump sign causes me to worry about the integrity of the person who is behind it
Echo opinion letters published in The New York Times:
Trump Insults Harris’s Mental Fitness, Adding to Questions About His Own: Re “Republicans Fault Trump Over Insults to His Rival” (news article, Sept. 30):
The New York Times report that Donald Trump referred to Kamala Harris, a woman of color, as being born “mentally disabled” while he maintains that Joe Biden, a white man, became mentally disabled. That’s nothing new. It’s Mr. Trump’s old playbook.
He has referred to Representative Maxine Waters of California, a Black woman, as “low I.Q. Maxine Waters.” I have seen nothing to indicate that Kamala Harris is mentally disabled or that Maxine Waters has a “low I.Q.”
By questioning the mental capacity of women of color Trump is trying to send a not-so-subtle subliminal message about people of color being “less than,” and, therefore “less deserving,” than whites.
This is a continuation of Mr. Trump’s long history of racism.
To the Editor: Regarding Donald Trump calling Kamala Harris “mentally disabled” and “mentally impaired”: By most measures Vice President Harris won the presidential debate against Mr. Trump. What does that say about Mr. Trump’s mental acuity?

- From housing discrimination in the 1970s,
- to his ads calling for the execution of the Central Park Five in the 1980s,
- to birtherism during Barack Obama’s presidency,
- to the remark about “very fine people on both sides” in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017,
