Editor,

I am a retired U.S. politics and government teacher. I am writing to express great alarm over the latest activities of our president. He seems to be confused about the origins of the Revolutionary War, where we fought against the king of England and wrote our Constitution to agree to self government with an elected president at the helm.

Kings don't win elections, presidents do. President Trump is doing everything he promised his voters he would do and we love him for it. Win an election if you want him out of office, but I bet you realize that there is not much hope with the pathetic list of candidates the Democrats are fielding.

Another stellar invigorating and intoxicating partisan rebuttal by our own President C. Conway.

@Karen Prosser - Kudos to you for your letter to the editor and thank you for all you did as a teacher.

We should all be so grateful that you are retired. You don't provide any evidence that the President is acting like a king. He is doing everything by the book, his actions have been largely upheld by the courts but that book is one that you apparently never cracked.

Well said, Karen! It is absolutely astounding how the Trumpocrats simply refuse to accept what is so overwhelmingly obvious to the steadily increasing majority of us, - that Trump has no idea of the consequences of his random actions, besides being so uneducated and knows so little that he is an embarrassment for the nation! And he is supposed to be a college "graduate"? Yeah, that says something about the academic level of some US learning establishments!
