LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Trump fiddles while US burns

President Donald Trump keeps getting smaller and smaller. He is unwilling to turn over the keys to the White House.

Trump has strong-armed business opponents his whole life. Now he wants to strong-arm the American electorate. He is asking everyone who takes a breath to convert to the gospel of might, and leave behind the patriotic gospel of right. Not surprisingly, hirelings in his administration, and cronies in Congress support him.

America today is like Rome near its fall. Far too many of the citizenry are decadent, ignorant and indifferent, and the new Vandals and Goths, China and Russia, are biding their time at the margins ready to pillage what is left of the American civilization.
