Editor,
When our president tells U.S. congresswomen to go back to the broken and crime infested places they came from, which is the United States, maybe it’s time he turns off the television and reads a few history books or just ask the people that he has hired to fact check his tweets. The dignity of the Oval Office needs to be brought back to where it should be.
Listening to his tweets reminds me of listening to two drunks in a bar telling each other how to solve the world’s problems. Accepting what comes from the mind of our present president is something I no longer choose to do and I wonder why so many citizens both Democratic and Republican continue to allow our president to lower the standards of that great office.

Robert, while I agree that some of the President's tweets are unnecessarily direct, don't forget that the four women have been lobbing insults at him ever since they were elected by their fooled constituents. You need to also define the dignity of the Office. I'd rather have a person who speaks his mind than an articulate pretender that we had to suffer under for the prior eight years.
What an undignified slap at President Obama, who stands head and shoulders above the lying bully we now have in the WH, someone who barely made it and only thanks to the EC, while Obama won both the popular and the EC votes with a landslide in comparison. Twice. The duly elected Congressional Reps that Trump attacks in such a childish manner, have a right to, and should, speak their mind, without being twitter-attacked by someone who is doing his best to run the country off the deep end, - with good help from Republicans that should know better, for the sake of the country.
As a candidate for president, Donald Trump promised that, if he won, he would not tweet. “Don’t worry, I’ll give it up after I’m president. We won’t tweet anymore…Not presidential,” he said.
He also said that he would be too busy running the country to have much time for golfing, - while criticizing president Obama for his occasional golfing! Yes, indeed, - he has earned his title "Liar-in-Chief"!
Jorg - I don't know how familiar you are with American history but many of our presidents were elected because of the EC. Also, your hero president came out of nowhere, without any record to be pushed toward the Presidency. The Daley Chicago political machine, already infamous for voter fraud that stole the election from Nixon in favor of Kennedy, assisted Obama and is the model for the Swamp in Washington. Not only that, Obama brought the machine with him and let his groveling underlings pile regulations on us while buying companies for pennies on the dollar that went broke because of those regulations. While smiling and fooling you and your ilk, he doubled our national debt, left our foreign policy in shambles and then allowed Mr. Trump to clean it up. No wonder many in the world loved Obama, he was like a push-over Santa Claus. And you call me ignorant?
Dirk: I see no point in reponding to your silly comments about President Obama, - so clearly head and shoulders above Donald Trump in every possible respect. However, if you maintain that an incompetent liar, cheater and sexual predator like Donald Trump is worthy of the US Presidency, - calling you ignorant is an understatement.
Jorg - you responded anyway and as usual you resorted to name calling without providing any factual comments. You may also take another English lesson and find out the real meaning of ignorance.
Dirk: Ignorance is a state of being uninformed (lack of knowledge). The word ignorant is an adjective describing a person in the state of being unaware and is often used to describe individuals who deliberately ignore or disregard important information or facts. Ignoramus is commonly used in the UK, Ireland, and the US as a term for someone who is willfully ignorant. Did that help?
Trump has made a certain type of US citizen happy throughout the NATION. His supporters are giddy with glee over the supposed economy and his stand on illegals but there are also several other character flaws that are worse than the last several Presidents. His own party and supporters/former supporters are starting to also have their collective skin crawl when the really really really bad Donald comes to the forefront. This latest Epstein deal is another that he will survive but that is no doubt that the so called man running the White House is smarmy and has no level that he won't stoop to - especially when it comes to how he treats women. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7260969/NBC-unearths-1992-interview-Trump-admits-kissing-host-filmed-Epstein-party-video.html
