Editor,

I am responding to the article, “Speier says no joy in impeaching Trump” by Ryan McCarthy in the Dec. 20 edition of the San Mateo Daily Journal.

Bernard: I won’t even try to respond to your bewildered nonsense about Kool-Aid, socialism and communism. However, I have to ask if you really think there still are enough uneducated, uninformed, gullible and easily fooled voters to “re-elect” Trump? Or, do you think the usual Republican tricks and voter suppression, together with invited foreign meddling will do the trick, - like in 2016? If you are right, and Trump gets another 4 year to ruin the country and destroy what President Obama was able to rescue after the previous disastrous Republican administration, I’m afraid we’re doomed as a country we used to know. Trump has already done so much damage that it will take someone of at least President Obama’s caliber to fix it all, - our world-wide reputation and respect very much included.

Thank you Jorg.

And amazing reply.

Truer words were never spoken.

only in a mind as delusional as Jorgs could a record stock market, a sizzling economy, record employment and increased tax revenue be considered ruining a country. The only people who will be ruined are low IQ people like Jorg and the globalists who think like he does. If I was him I would be more worried about American views of other countries and their reputations not the other way around. We are back being #1 and it is all due to Trump.

Chris: As I have tried to explain to you before, Trump is still able to ride high on the accomplishments of President Obama’s administration. While he kept claiming that the tripling of the stock market under Obama had nothing to do with his predecessor, he himself now takes full credit for the 50% increase under his administration, which experts explain is more a natural continuation of the past than the current economic mismanagement. While president Obama was able to reduce the high deficit the previous Republican administration was responsible for, - it has skyrocketed to new highs under Trump. The deficit used to be Republicans’ #1 complaint! Not anymore! I have no idea how anyone can be so naïve to think that someone as inept, incompetent and unqualified as Donald Trump, is good for the country, - an immoral liar who has become the laughingstock of the world and a total embarrassment here at home, - a fool who engages in a twitter battle with a 16-year old environmentalist, who’s second language is superior to his own one and only first.

Obviously nervous about his own shaky re-election prospects, Trump has now blindly engaged in exactly what he falsely accused President Obama of, before his 2012 re-election, which was pretty well secured due to the good work of his administration, - quite different from the current sad situation leading up to 2020. For the next election, our hope is that 2020 hindsight will prevail, together with some most needed foresight.
