A letter to the editor that ran on July 17, “A fan of Trump not of ‘Trumpcare,’” could be missing the larger issue.
I am not disregarding President Trump’s pledges for job creation. Imagine what could be accomplished if money used in military conflicts were available here at home.
Yes, Trump the independent-sounding politician promised a different foreign policy than what Hillary Clinton proposed; but I don’t see much of a difference from what is going on now — Saudi Arabia bombing Yemen, proxy (undeclared) war in Syria, increasing tensions with Iran and Russia.
I think fans of Trump and Clinton should take a new look at the left-right chains of deceptions wrapped around our necks. The full-scale assault by media companies cramming information into our heads is significant.
I think we citizens need to look for better solutions. Our elections are vulnerable because the system is corrupt. Blaming Russia is not the solution, and Trump’s election integrity commission is an oxymoron onto itself.
