To the editor:

At a funeral for a close friend I recently attended, the deceased’s brother stood and addressed the crowded chapel.

His face edged with grief, he spoke of her loving family, many accomplishments and devoted friends. He ended his remarks by stating—half jokingly—that his biggest regret was that his sister had not lived to see Trump impeached.

His words, and Welsh’s brave and darkly funny op-ed article, underscore the extreme state of our current national condition. We have a president who, on a daily basis, injures our sense of what is just and right and exhibits bizarre behavior that sickens our souls.

I, like so many others, hope Welsh’s wish comes true and Trump is removed from office. That is something worth living for.
