Donald Trump is not fit to be president. Someone - a Republican - must call on him to leave the election

Echo opinion letters published in the Sun Sentinel a South Florida newsaper:

Thank you for inviting readers in South Florida to sound off on the New York conviction of Donald Trump.

I disagree with those who say that the voters will ultimately decide this case on election day. I feel the judge and jurors did their jobs. There will be an appeal. The justice system is working as usual so far. Our justice system, not voters in general, should decide this specific case.

American voters should judge Trump on his lack of devotion to the country. If he had been a patriotic American president, he would have gracefully left office in 2021. He and his supporters never accepted his defeat, and are unlikely to accept defeat if it should happen in 2024.

In the few months that remain before the November election, I long to hear Trump urge that the vote be accepted peacefully by all.

And then there is this😧:  "Senator Marco Rubio once called Trump a con man, unfit to be president, before he crawled to Mar-a-Lago, groveling at Trump’s feet, begging for a blessing. As for Senator Rick Scott, how someone can plead the fifth 75 times, begs the question as to how he ended up as this state’s junior senator."

Florida's Senator Marco Rubio once called Trump a con man, unfit to be president, before he crawled to Mar-a-Lago, groveling at Trump’s feet, begging for a blessing. As for Senator Rick Scott, how someone can plead the fifth 75 times, begs the question as to how he ended up as this state’s junior senator.

Read any article about Trump and it’s clear that from the very beginning of his career, he operated on the edges, believing the rules didn’t apply to him. How about his oft-quoted claim that he could walk down Fifth Avenue and kill someone and not be charged.

Dr. Mary Trump, his niece, thoroughly portrayed him as an emotionally and psychologically disturbed individual in her book, “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man.”

Now there are consequences for his decades of questionable actions. Whatever the judge decrees will undoubtedly be dismissed by his cult followers. The fact that so many of them serve as our representatives and senators is the real shame.
