Resistance clarion call! Donald Trump is a worse narcissist than we ever thought he could be, his cruelty flashbacks to Nazi Germany

Trump is worse this time❗

Echo opinion letter published in the Idaho Statesman in Boise Idaho:

The foundation beneath our feet is shaken by the arrogant, constantly repeated MAGA cult continuing big lies, the daily unchecked power of executive orders that silence agencies, the firing of inspector generals that safeguard power that is misused and the narrow confirmation of a totally unqualified Pete Hegseth as secretary of defense.

We are witnessing the disruption of millions of migrant lives waiting for asylum without discretion as they are hunted in fields, schools, workplaces, and churches. Wielding his now presidential signature to suspend membership to world organizations, Trump has silenced the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) and canceled cancer research, pardoned violent hoodlums that killed capital police officers with blatant disrespect for the rule of law. 

We the people of this nation shudder and dread what is coming. And still, his bloated ego bad-mouths a prayer for mercy at the National Cathedral by Archbishop Mariann Edgar Budde (Episcopal Diocese of Washington).

National Cathedral 

Trump threatens other countries with the extortion of tariffs if they do not cave to his whims. This all in one week. This singular dismantling of our government as we know it. This testing the rule of law. These threats that create chaos, discord and further division. This toxic disregard for the 14th Amendment that ensures birthright citizenship for children born in the United States. This narcissistic grab of unchecked power planned by the unelected personnel like Elon Musk and the ghoul Russel Vaught that created Project 2025. Trump is not making America great again. Instead, his cruelty is putting into play motions that will serve the wealthy and extend power to a few on the backs of the working many❓ 

Unacceptable! Intolerable! Resist! Regroup! Reclaim! Disobey! Do not give up hope!

Donald Trump is casting a bleak shadow over all Republicans

Donald Trump's irresponsible behavior must be checked!

Echo opinion letter published in the Idaho Statesman 

Donald Trmp disregard for America's values and allies

For quite some time, many of us have been disappointed and dismayed by Donald Trump's actions and blatant disregard for our American values, not the least of which is his total lack of any kind of integrity. But until just recently, the Republican congressional members have contrived some reason to support his “unpresidential” behaviors while he runs roughshod over our institutions, our position as a leader of nations, our credibility, etc. Apparently, the brash decision to order the immediate withdrawal of our troops from Syria was a “bridge too far.” 

This particular decision has done great damage to our future military operations in terms of troop morale, confidence of our allies and the list goes on. The House has passed a bipartisan condemnation of this action, and the Senate is saying they want to pass another similar declaration.

If we are truly concerned about someday, somehow rebuilding our international reputation and the confidence of our troops in their leadership, we have a way to show the world we have the fortitude and conviction to admit we made a huge mistake and rectify it. Imagine what the world would think about our democracy if we removed this president from office.

Idaho opinion letter describes Donald Trump's dangerous leadership

Okay, blog readers, I admit it!  I love finding these letter gems, with similar themes, published in various forms and found in nearly every newspapers' opinion pages. Each author is an original thinker in my mind.  Has anyone considered providing journalism awards to citizens who take the time to write original letters to the editor? Here's another gem published in the Idaho Statesman.  

Echo opinion: Donald Trump is dangerous, explained Ron Williams of Eagle Idaho

Donald Trump is a danger to all of us wrote Ron Williams of Eagle Idaho

Evidently, Mr. Williams wrote because he was fed up with people who complained to the newspaper about letters that have been critical of Donald Trump. 

Donald Trump (aka, "failed leadership")

The letter of Sept. 11, expressing angst of past negative Trump letters:

My view, the letter writers are questioning Trump’s credibility, integrity and leadership capabilities. They do so because of Trump's continued display of narcissism and delusion. He is extremely dangerous for all of us.

In the past 19 months, 19 people have left various White House positions; beginning with senior Cabinet members and an array of various White House staff. 

Some voluntarily, most unceremoniously. Associates are now convicted felons; foreign policy adviser in jail. Asking the Justice Department to intervene in the investigation of two congressmen. Adulation expressed publicly for the leadership of North Korea and Russia. More than 4,700 misleading or completely false statements made to date. (Fact checker confirmed.)

Revoking security clearance of a naysayer, threaten other holders of security clearance because they speak out against his governing. An untold number of minor migrant children still in holding facilities, no parental reunion in sight for them.

These are not alternative facts; sadly, these are real facts. Trump has exhibited zero capability to deal with real facts.
