To the editor:
What President Trump did after the Justice Department dropped charges against former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was utterly unbelievable. He said he called Russian President Vladimir Putin to celebrate the reversal of the conviction and talk about “the Russia hoax, this absolute dishonest hoax.”
The U.S. intelligence apparatus has conclusively determined that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election campaign. It believes Russia continues with such meddling. However, our own president would rather believe Putin’s lies.
Trump’s actions and his words say the same thing: He has no faith in the American political system with the three co-equal branches of government and the balance of power. He wants to be a despot, like Putin. He does not deserve one single vote.

Note from KBJ: That Russia "interfered" or "meddled" in the election doesn't mean that Donald Trump or any of his associates did anything wrong. Why can't you grasp that simple distinction, Michael? Are you stupid?
