To the editor:
Doyle McManus writes as if the opponents of Donald Trump like me question his legitimacy as president-elect. Not so. I fully accept that an unfit con man has been voted in as president, and it strengthens my resolve to fight him. (“Why we should ‘normalize’ Trump,” Opinion, Dec. 21)
McManus suggests that Trump “normalize himself” despite no evidence he can do so. People with eyes and ears know that this spoiled man of 70 is not going to change. He brags that he’s great the way he is, and he’s a big winner, so why change?
McManus urges Trump to stop tweeting, tell the truth, listen to his advisors and honor his campaign promises on jobs and cheaper healthcare. I’m actually a bit jealous of McManus for the faith he has put in a pathological liar, but as for the rest of us, we tremble in fear because of the power vested in an amoral and unqualified man. We will oppose, denounce and resist Trump at every turn.
I am afraid of my new president. He cannot be normalized.

Note from KBJ: I hate to break it to you, Laura, but there's nothing you can do about Donald Trump's presidency, so you may as well lie back and enjoy it.
