To the editor:
Trump’s problem with voters is that he makes everything about him instead of how well the country is doing right now?
To say Trump has “personality trouble” is to whitewash his despicable actions: doggedly attacking the legitimacy of Barack Obama’s presidency; jealously disparaging the war hero Sen. John McCain, even after his death; and calling some of the white supremacists in Charlottesville, Va., “very fine people,” to name just a few.
Adjectives that describe a personality might be fun-loving, outgoing, quiet and perhaps at worst strange. Trump obviously has a self-involved personality, but is that really the problem voters have with him? No.
The problem is his constant lying, disrespectful behavior, vile statements, bigotry, sexism, incompetence and contempt for expertise. To downplay Trump’s horrible qualities as “personality” problems does voters no favors.
