LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Presidents lived contrasting lives

As I watched the funeral for former President George H.W. Bush, I couldn’t help but think of comparisons between his life and that of our current president, Donald Trump.

One wanted to make America kinder and gentler. The other is making it meaner and divided.

One was married to the love of his life for 73 years. The other has gone through three trophy wives so far, and probably cheated on all of them.

One fathered another president. Let’s hope the same isn’t true for the other.

One had an honorable military career. The other was exempted from military service because of bone spurs.

One had members of his Cabinet and administration at his funeral. The other, when he dies, will have his present, too, if they have completed their prison sentences.
