To the editor:

The scariest part of the pandemic for Americans is that Trump is calling the shots. His ineptness coupled with his need to be told how terrific he is at every utterance is truly frightening.

When he said he wouldn’t follow the experts’ advice to wear a face mask, it was a bold-faced indication of his lack of understanding of the horror he created by not preparing back when he was first told a pandemic loomed.

So, why can’t Trump be more like the queen? A person cannot deliver what he does not possess, and Trump lacks honesty, dignity and any concern for his fellow human.

Note from KBJ: Stop projecting your dishonesty and lack of dignity onto President Trump, Cassie.

Bernie Sanders is OUT! Thank you to Elizabeth Warren. If not for her, Bernie would have won almost every state on Super Tuesday! This ended just like the Democrats & the DNC wanted, same as the Crooked Hillary fiasco. The Bernie people should come to the Republican Party, TRADE!

In his piece defending globalization, Joel P. Trachtman mentions a few things that could help “minimize the adverse consequences of globalization and maximize our overall welfare.” “Deep understanding of the situations of other countries?" You mean, like our deep understanding of the situations of Iraq and Afghanistan? “Sophisticated analysis?" You mean, like that previously provided by the career diplomats attacked, disgraced, fired, and hounded into retirement, for political advantage, by the Trump administration? “Informed negotiations, based on real facts?" You mean, like using scientific data in regular meetings with other industrialized countries in order to come up with a global plan for slowing the human-induced climate-change crisis?

During the right’s anti-intellectual crusade of recent decades, the tools of reasoned approach and ability were abandoned as useless. I’m afraid these tools are no longer available to us.
