To the editor:

I have thought a lot about President Trump’s “cheating,” described so well by columnist Virginia Heffernan, and it gripes me to the core.

I have been tempted to fudge the number or expand the zone, so to speak, but my moral upbringing has always won out. My mother and father were immigrants and became citizens; they were glad to be here and believed they should do no wrong.

Trump, on the other hand, was taught early on how to manipulate the system and make money doing so. Now, cheating is an everyday thing for him, and in his life the big guy always wins and the little guy always loses. If I had done what he’s been accused of doing, I’d be in prison.

The only way we will ever be able to get it across to him how morally unfit he is to be president is to impeach or vote him out of office.
