To the editor:
Bruce Baert’s sad but true Presidents Day piece, “How do Trump’s words stack up against those of his predecessors?” aptly illuminates how small, figuratively, Donald Trump is standing next to articulate giants like Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Barack Obama.
Sadder still, our “I have the best words” president has diminished the honor of the office that he holds.
Baert’s piece should serve as an invitation to the eventual Democratic nominee, who will get the privilege (or duty, some would say) of debating President Trump, to make the following his or her opening salvo—no opening policy statement, no politically polite charming chit-chat, just read the comparisons from the podium, no holds barred, word for word, including the expletives Trump used in the “Access Hollywood” recording.
That candidate will render Trump speechless and win the election.
