To the editor:
If it is possible for this president to reach a new low, he succeeded with his invitation to rapper Kanye West to join him in the Oval Office for a public spectacle.
At a time when countless Florida residents have had their lives turned upside down by Hurricane Michael, Trump set this national calamity on the back burner in order to engage in a sideshow. For a change, it was the president who was listening as someone else rambled incoherently. Because West is a fan of the president, his bizarre behavior at the White House was just fine, apparently.
Although Trump once said he loved the “poorly educated,” there are many people of good intellect and education who for reasons of their own support him. I wonder what they were thinking as the Oval Office was sullied once again by a man who brings to the White House the likes of Sarah Palin, Ted Nugent, Kid Rock and now Kanye West.
