To the editor:

Trump’s conduct is clearly inappropriate and unbalanced. Many of Trump’s supporters understand his “issues,” but they are so angry at our government that they willfully ignore his misbehavior as long as he speaks up for them.

So, the real issue is trying to find a way to address the concerns of his followers. This is absolutely crucial if we are to stop Trump.

It is easy to argue that Trump’s supporters are ignorant and shallow minded, but that would be as inappropriate as the president’s conduct at his news conference on Wednesday. If we can resolve the anger of his supporters, he will lose them and his ship will no longer sail.

However, if we do not address their concerns, then as a society we will travel down the path of self-destruction.
