Editor,
This letter is in response to Mr. Neil Wild’s letter to the editor requesting our giving Trump a chance. There was a lot to unpack in Mr. Wild’s letter. I will address the point that Mr. Trump a business man not a politician.
President Trump has been sued over 4,000 times and the majority of the suits were found against him. Among the lawsuits were at least 60 from small companies tying to collect money owed for work. Mr. Trump has declared bankruptcy four times. Due to his business model he has been charged with more than 80 crimes, convicted on 34 felony counts.
Now this is not to say Mr. Trump has not made money. So far, it is estimated his personal bank account has increased by $80 million with “donations” and promoting the Meme.coin (crypto currency). Your point of the Democrats being on a “free money train” is odd since the Republican party voted on the same budget measures.
In closing, I would like to thank the original writer, Mr. Peter Antoniak, for his service. Like my husband, they both served their country in war. President Trump, having never served his country in uniform, went golfing as the four caskets bearing military persons were returned last month.

Thank you for your excellent letter, and for your husband's service. Trump Deranged Supporters will state that Mr. Trump has never declared bankruptcy. This little distraction of no "personal" bancruptcy ignores the six times he declared bankruptcy for his properties, including 3 casinos in 1991 and 1992, a hotel in 1992, another casino and resort business in 2004, and another resort in 2009. It has been noted many times that it takes a seriously ignorant owner to bankrupt one casino, let alone four. And in all of these events, vendors and investors lost millions while this crooked and inept "businessman" crowed that he took advantage of the system to his own benefit. He is now doing it again, but this time with our country. The stunning hypocrisy of labeling a decent and hardworking long time public servant such as Biden as a "crime family" and relentlessly pursuing a supposed $5million payment from Ukraine - now totally debunked as false - while finding it perfectly fine for Saudis to gift the draft dodger's son-in-law $2billion and now a $400million used plane is really astounding. Our democracy is being shredded by a cruel and corrupt administration robbing the least fortunate of us to fund massive tax cuts for the billionaire class. The entire Republican Party is now corrupt and complicit. I only hope we can survive this and bring back the country your husband - unlike the Felon now in office - fought so bravely for.
Thanks, SMpool, for reminding us what winning looks like. Fortunately, we have another three plus years of our (yes, our) great President Trump and his Making America Great Again. BTW, a potential TDS study has been proposed and if funded, they'll likely be looking for test subjects. Any interest? Have a Trump-tastic day!
Yes, some “businessman”, with all his personal bankruptcies! And then again, to be a Trump cult member, you probably have to be rather tight upstairs. And now he’s well on his way to bankrupt the nation! Are his followers too tight upstairs to get it?
Here we go again… Thanks for your letter, Ms. Freydoz, but even if all your assertions about Trump were true (and we know they’re not), our (yes, our) great President Trump is head and shoulders greater than treasonous Biden/autopen and his America Last policies. President Trump has not declared bankruptcy, ever. If you’re willing to lie about that, what else are you willing to lie about? You seem to conveniently forget Biden allowed over 10 million invaders to our country and you seem to forget Biden took two knees and gifted Afghanistan to the Taliban. Resulting in more than four caskets bearing military persons. Have a Trump-tastic day!
