Donald Trump and maga Republicans are destroying American icons and the principles of our democracy

Donald Trump is a miserable creature who mocks American principles: Published in the Scranton Times-Tribune newspaper.

Donald Trump hosted an ugly and violent wrestling game for America's 250th, denigrating the White House into a quasi Roman Colosseum.

Echo opinion letter to the editor: His name may be gone from the Kennedy Center, but the stench and rankness Donald Trump has visited upon our presidency and White House will take some time to be eradicated.

He has turned the White House into a latter-day Palace of Versailles, decadent gold everywhere, a testament to his garishness. The recent UFC fight reminds us of the bread and circuses of the Roman Colosseum, complete with the violence and the corruption.

In some kind of perverse, reverse karma, Trump is president during the 250th year celebration of our country’s founding on the principles of the rule of law and the ideals of the Constitution, principles he no more believes in than the belief in the tooth fairy.
