The Danger of Donald Trump

Dear Editor,

Donald Trump is delusional. He thinks he’s a genius because his father gave him 400 million dollars and he didn’t lose it all, although he tried. Sadly, he’s been very lucky after six bankruptcies. Then along came the TV show, "The Apprentice.". It gave him national exposure, paid him handsomely, and made him think that he was the most successful businessman ever. To the chagrin of the rest of the world, it got him elected president twice. After the first time, he realized that hiring smart people to be his subordinates constrained him, so he hired people too incompetent to challenge him.

Now he is a commander in chief with no guardrails and is about to lead the whole world into a recession and needless suffering and death, because he doesn’t want to be a loser.

Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Biden knew not to attack Iran. They listened to very smart advisors and took their advice. Trump listens to no one. His best move is to declare victory and get the troops home.Instead, he’s going to violate the pledge he made to end forever wars and will get many Americans and others injured and killed.
