To the Editor:

The title “Leader of the Free World” can no longer be used to describe the President of the United States. Elected with 49.9% of the vote, Trump is looking to rewrite history and overturn the world order as we know it.

Russia invaded Ukraine. Putin is a dictator. Trump lies.

On the third anniversary of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, the US voted, along with Russia, Iran, China and North Korea, to oppose a UN resolution condemning Russia for its actions. This was a national embarrassment. It was outdone a few days later by the tantrum that Trump threw during the oval office visit with Zelenskyy. It wasn’t enough that he was using mob tactics to shake down Ukraine for mineral rights, but this made for TV moment, designed to make Trump look strong, and Zelenskyy weak in front of a member of the Russian press, only confirmed Trump’s desire to please Putin. Let’s not forget that Trump has never forgiven the Ukrainian President for refusing to “dig up dirt” on Joe Biden.

In other parts of the world, the Wanna be King is imposing/threatening tariffs, mostly on our allies. For those who thought inflation was a problem before — just wait. He continues to talk about taking over Greenland, the Panama Canal and making Canada the 51st state. I think we should be starting a countermovement to make New England the 11th province of Canada.

USAID has been gutted and along with it the very positive influence the US once had in impoverished locations around the world — all areas where China has wanted to make inroads and now, they are free to do so.

Trump spends a good deal of his time on the golf course and continues to collude with the Saudis on how they can all profit off the sport even more than they already have. Not sure how the Saudis are going to deal with Trump’s plan to turn Gaza into the Riviera of the Middle East while relocating all the Palestinians.

Meanwhile Musk and Vance were busy promoting a political party in Germany with neo-Nazis leanings.

The man who thinks he can bend anyone to his will, bent a knee to Putin and kissed his ring.

Dasvidaniya.
