The letter “Let’s change Dems’ name to Communist Party” (Dec. 16, TribLive) manifests as many falsehoods as you’d hear at a Trump rally. It’s true that most Americans would like to have some safety nets to help the less fortunate, but that’s hardly communism. The writer presents no points that suggest the Democrats are communists. He should learn some political science to understand what communism, socialism and fascism really mean.
The writer claims that “Biden allowed criminals to rape and murder without consequence. What delusion is he living in?
I agree with one thing he writes: President Biden did indeed encourage clean energy, in order to save the world for our children. What President Trump is doing to climate and the environment is tragic.
Almost every charge he makes against the Democrats should be leveled against the Republicans instead. As for “destroying our borders,” it was during the Biden era that Trump thwarted a bipartisan bill to hire thousands more border guards. saying, effectively, “Please don’t; I need the border issue to win.”
And by the way, it was Trump in his first term who withdrew from the Iran nuclear agreement that prevented Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
In my opinion, Trump is a terrible person. When he was even more childish than he is now, he reportedly threw rocks at a baby in a crib. Now, instead of doing his job he is focused on bogus criminal indictments against his perceived adversaries and killing possibly innocent people in boats.
The Republican Party should be renamed “The Personal Cult of Donald Trump”.
