To the editor:
The Trump voters who want us to give the president a chance seem to forget that he spent a year and a half on the campaign trail appealing to the worst of America, making bigoted statements and flaunting his selfishness. We all know what Trump’s about.
That the president won doesn’t mean he deserved to win. Turnout was barely more than 50%, and Trump received less than half of the popular vote. At best, perhaps 25% of eligible voters supported him, with many of them holding their noses as they did so.
Trump is being fought “tooth and nail” because he has yet to earn our respect and trust after almost two years as a politician. He has all but single-handedly destroyed the integrity of the presidency with his incompetence and lack of a generous and inclusive world view.

Note from KBJ: This is a reminder that I no longer post snarky comments on letters to the editor. I try to select letters that manifest Trump Derangement Syndrome. Barack Obama governed against the will of the people. Donald Trump governs against the will of the elites. I can see why the elites are furious.
