To the editor:

By all accounts, Trump’s pre-presidential life was chaotic. He loved battles; this is what he believed brought him success and what he believed would make him a successful president.

Trump’s life formula does not work for the nation or its citizens. A successful nation requires predictability and stability, not turmoil.

Government works best when, without fanfare, it provides the services and protections its citizens need. It should, for the most part, be seen but not heard.

We are all tired of the tumult. It’s time for some peace and quiet. It’s time for Trump and his life formula to vanish from our lives.

Note from KBJ: He'll be gone in January 2025, Irving, unless, of course, we amend the Constitution to allow him to serve a third term.
