When will Donald Trump start acting presidential?

In response to Joe Schaerer’s Sunday letter to the Review-Journal, I totally agree with what he said about Donald Trump becoming his own worst enemy. I did not vote for Mr. Trump and was literally shocked that he not only became the GOP nominee, but actually won the presidency. Amazing how easy it was for him to play (manipulate) so many people into believing that he is the 21st century Moses who would lead his sheep into the promised land.

As a reasonable person — though disappointed that Hillary didn’t win — I was willing to give Mr. Trump the benefit of the doubt that he would prove to be worthy of the title. I’ve been waiting since Jan. 20. No proof yet.

How long will I and the rest of the people in the United States have to wait? I’m willing to bet we’ll still be waiting when the 2020 election season begins unless he loses that great title long before then. I believe in miracles, so I keep praying for one.

LETTER: Sonia Sotomayor, retirement and race

Using race to justify or condemn the action of others is simply wrong and, some would say, the definition of racism. We are all one people.

LETTER: Is there another Joe Biden out there?

Both the front-runner presidential candidates should step aside and give us some choices who are younger and have fresh ideas to get us out of the $35 trillion debt.

LETTER: Deciphering progressive jargon

I noticed recently that euphemisms are commonly used by progressives in order to make the agenda they support seem less harsh or unpleasant.

LETTER: Biden ignores the Supreme Court on student loans

Biden is constantly harping on how Trump is a threat to democracy and will be a dictator, eliminating our freedoms. It is Biden, however, who has proven himself the dictator who is threatening democracy.

LETTER: More on 1968

As a cop who was at not only at the 1968 Democratic convention at the Conrad Hilton on Michigan Avenue, but also the Chicago arson fires on the west side, I feel there were many reasons why the city was a tinderbox.
