To the editor:
The caption with a picture of FDR notes that the 32nd president “used radio to explain his politics . . . not entirely unlike Trump’s use of Twitter.”
This falls into the trap of false equivalency, comparing something a universally recognized great president did with something the worst president in history is doing.
FDR’s fireside chats were inspiring messages to all Americans. Trump’s rants on Twitter are vicious, mean, vile screeds of revenge against anyone with whom he disagrees. He’s only thinking of himself, not all Americans.

Note from KBJ: Trump is the best president in history, Robert. Have you been watching CNN?
