We cannot say that a compassionate concern for the well-being and health and safety of ordinary Americans is what drove President Trump toward helping to facilitate the vaccine development process. He has always demonstrated that he is driven almost exclusively by advancing his own perceived self-interest. But these vaccines promise to end this pandemic far more quickly than might have been expected, and for this we should all be thankful and grateful.
Thank you, Mr. Riviello, for your welcome defense of Donald J. Trump, Great President (November 20 edition). I do suggest that adding on some “hard numbers” to your argument, you know, to support the accolades, would make so much more clear the scale of his effects.
Congratulations Swarthmore, all 3,377 of you who helped elect the ultimate career politician to the presidency. I guess you are looking forward to allowing the oligarchs, globalists, and our ruling class back into control. Welcome back to the Democrat plantation where you are defined by your identity, not your talents. Where your white guilt is applauded.
When the mail-in ballot count, powered by Democratic voters, shows a reversal of the preliminary election night outcome, all hell will break loose. Buckle up, America, you ain’t never seen anything like it before.
Donald Trump’s character failings will likely extinguish his chance to be re-elected. But those failings have extinguished the lives of thousands of Americans.
In a year-end poll, Donald Trump and Barack Obama were tied for being the “most admired” men in the country. How does this happen and what does it say about us, the American people?
On Saturday, President Trump abruptly canceled secret peace talks scheduled at Camp David with Afghan leaders and Taliban insurgents. Assuming these talks were even a “real” thing and not simply another presidential fabrication, Trump acted swiftly, trying to show strength. But, what is the president’s strategy? Or is this simply one more example of how truly transactional this President is?
The fabric of our society in the United States is being tested as it has not been, arguably, since the Civil War. We are not facing the prospect of states seceding or of an armed conflict (yet), but we are facing a real threat and challenge to our way of life and to the successful functioning of our democratic republic.
I chortled, more chuckled when I read Jim Riviello’s letter (Swarthmorean, June 21). I thought: “Whoa, that is some fine ironic writing. We all know that no Swarthmore residents including the June 21 letter writer could, in actuality, possibly support a racist and misogynist President.”
Enough with the Trump bashing. It’s the Republicans in Congress who are going along with him - because of the tax cuts for the rich and his Supreme Court choices -who should be pilloried.
With his support for President Trump, reader Jim Riviello clearly presents an example of the ideological polarity that is dividing us. Describing all career politicians as con men and snake oil salesmen is a cry for protection in a world seen as dangerous and competitive.
Thank you for publishing Jim Riviello’s letter. The problems he cites are ones that many of us can agree with; however, we diverge on the possible solutions.
In response to last week’s Trump-bashing letter: We live in an oligarchy, run by career politicians bought by the multi-nation corporations, globalists, and PACs that control them. We will NEVER take back our country, freedom, and live by the constitution until we take back our federal government, then dismantle it back only to its Constitutional responsibilities and give power back to the States, where we citizens can more effectively oversee and participate in our republic.
It has become much more obvious that our President, Donald J. Trump, is a flimflam man, who everyday creates his own false narrative to feed his megalomanical ego. The startling, yet sad, realization is that the president does not really care about solving issues or closing deals. He cares only about creating a sense of movement, of action, of appearing strong, not weak. The incredible thing is not that two-thirds of the public believe he is lying about his achievements, but that it is not one hundred who believe this.
