LETTER: It’s the last thing that we should do

In his Monday letter on President Donald Trump, Joseph Kane misses the point. Yes, negotiations always involve quid pro quo. The issue is that Mr. Trump withheld promised funds from Ukraine to get dirt on a political rival.

This is more extortion than quid pro quo. He was trying to serve his own interests, not the interests of the country.

As to his statement that “President Trump is an expert on quid pro quo and always gets something in return,” this is not borne out by facts. There are many examples, but North Korea comes to mind. North Korea got the U.S. and South Korea to halt joint war exercises. We got what in return?

Don’t let the big corporations tell you your life would be better without big government regulation or laws. I have been there and done that.

Can’t be near a park, can set up for only 30 minutes. Hard to make money with those stipulations.
