Editor,
A steadily growing majority of Trump resisters must wonder how on flat Earth did we end up with such a dangerous loser occupying the White House? One can hardly find anyone more incompetent, unqualified, uneducated for the job, inept, immoral and untrustworthy. However, no wonder Putin wanted Trump instead of Hillary! Not necessarily because the Russians have so much on him, but clearly because he is so easy to manipulate.
Trump has already delivered, perhaps even more than they expected. He has added to both U.S. debt and deficit — the latter a dramatic turnaround from the reductions President Obama was able to achieve. Trump has already damaged many governmental functions we have spent decades to fine-tune, thereby setting us back and closer to the level of less progressive nations, like Russia, China and North Korea. Trump has worked hard to destroy the mutually beneficial relationships we have had with allies and kissed up to our adversaries, even let himself be publicly fooled and ridiculed due to his naiveté and lack of governmental understanding, not to mention void of foreign experience. Having made himself a laughingstock around the world, Trump has now been taken for a fool by dictators in several countries, playing him like a willing instrument.
For his gullible supporters to cheer when he takes our country down, is, yeah, more than despicable. Should we call it treason?

Ronald Reagan in 3 years tripled this country's debt> So based on economic policies and starting wars based on lies like in Iraq where hundreds of thousands were killed Trump isn't that bad. And, I don't remember criticism from every part of society about those Reagan Bush era buffoons.
Chris: Mueller’s investigating team has been on the job for just about a year, already producing multiple charges, indictments and convictions, even jail terms, and at a cost lower than Trump’s golf games. Compare that to the much costlier Benghazi fiasco, which took several years without producing a single charge. In the meantime, Trump is exposing himself as a complete idiot at NATO and European conferences, showing how intellectually challenged and uneducated he is, - as if that wasn’t already abundantly clear. He comes across as an uncivilized bully, who tries to cover up his shortcomings by bullying the much more seasoned world representatives. What an embarrassment for the country! Even congressional Republicans are now finally waking up to realize what a disaster this meniacal liar is for the country, and the world. But, of course, his gullible and easily fooled supporters will worship him no matter what!
ending Obamacare, two supreme court justices, lowering taxes ending Obama's silly regulations, fair trade and the list goes on. When Jorg is upset it is usually a good thing for everyone else. I hope the name calling makes you feel better Jorg, but I as well as many other Americas are happier than we ever have been in a long time. I am proud to support our president and I look forward to the next 6 years as our president. MAGA, because the time is ours to put our stamp on this great country.
Oh and build the wall, deport illegal immigrants and stick it to the EU and China, this is why we voted for president Trump. American first.
Chris: The public part of Donald J. Trump is obvious to most of us, including the rest of the world, although his faithful followers can’t see that their Emperor has neither presidential potential, nor adult-level behavior. When Mueller’s investigation exposes Trump’s hidden agenda, I wouldn’t be surprised if their faithfulness trumps facts and reality.
When is Mueller's investigation supposed to wrap up Jorg? 2032. We have been hearing about this investigation since the day he became president and still nothing. Trump's hidden agenda is to crush the left in this country as it is the agenda of everyone who voted for him. Pretty simple actually.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Twelve Russian military intelligence officers hacked into the Clinton presidential campaign and Democratic Party, releasing tens of thousands of stolen communications, in a sweeping effort by a foreign government to meddle in the 2016 U.S. election, according to a grand jury indictment announced days before President Donald Trump’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
JME: Compare that to the desperate Republican attempt at squeezing something, - anything, out of the Benghazi tragedy. Result: zero, after many years of frantic search for something to pin on Hillary Clinton, and many times the cost of Mueller’s very cost-effective operation, which keeps delivering, - to Trump’s and his followers’ steadily increasing dismay.
