Editor,

The world according to Caligula. We have just been treated to our president’s latest world view. The U.N. isn’t living up to its potential. Never mind that he is leading the way in ignoring the existing and well-established international body of laws that would go a long way in actually fulfilling that potential.

Ah yes, the world according to Caggiano. In this world, Mr. Caggiano will give a pass to Hamas launching a surprise attack to kill over 1200 Israelis and take hostages (some of which they continue to hold today). Self-defense? Mr. Caggiano attempts to shame Israel for doing so. Now Mr. Caggiano is worried that Trump calls out the UN for their impotence in doing anything of value. And now Mr. Caggiano supports terrorists and drug runners to our shores. Sorry, Mr. Caggiano, I’d recommend everyone take a “hard pass” (to honor Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary update) on the world according to Caggiano. Have a Trump-tastic day!

Hey, Mr. Caggiano, why aren’t you giving a pass to Russia for attacking Ukraine? And how about Mr. van Ulden’s brilliant idea – take away their diplomatic immunity? Or if that’s a bridge too far, take away their visa’s and their Visa’s so they don’t continue to suck up our tax dollars to write sharply worded letters. I’ll do my part by donating a case of paper and their toner cartridge of choice. But not from Office Depot where a few employees appear to subscribe to the world according to Caggiano.

OK Mike - "I think we will see at the U.N. a good number of world representatives make for a more rational appraisal of the world", such as? They have not done a darn thing to promote world peace. Talk is cheap. They just suck up our tax dollars and are not even ashamed. We finally have a President who does not shy away from telling these useless bureaucrats the truth. While he is at it, Trump should also take their diplomatic immunity away.

Please, lack of shame is the hallmark of Trump and his administration. Embarrassment of his behavior and representation of America is shared by most Americans.
