To the editor:
Among the many actions taken by President Trump that made him an unwelcome presence at an opening ceremony for Mississippi’s new civil rights museum was his ride into office powered by his hatred of President Obama. (“'Mr. President, we don’t need you in Mississippi.' Protests as Trump speaks at new civil rights museum,” Dec. 9)
He spent years spreading the lie that Obama was not born in this country, and as president, he is obsessed with wiping out every one of his predecessor’s achievements. He appears to be consumed by anger at the fact that he, a white man, is outclassed by Obama, a black man, whose gentlemanly demeanor, intelligence and calm show Trump up at every turn.
Sadly, Trump has found an audience of similarly inclined people who will support him no matter what. But he had incredible gall to show up at the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum.
