To the editor:

Since President Trump has a well-earned 66% disapproval rating in California, most of us aren't very welcoming of him during his brief visit to California.

Trump has bent over backward to give the benefit of the doubt to neo-Nazis and people accused of spousal abuse and sexual harassment. He has suggested that Democrats who don't clap for him are treasonous. He honors Russia and dishonors the FBI. He looks favorably on deceit, hypocrisy, conflict of interest and nepotism. He lies.

Welcoming Trump to California is tantamount to welcoming a despot.
