Keith Burgess-Jackson, J.D., Ph.D.

Regarding “Trump’s candid corruption” (Editorial, Oct. 19): Now that our corrupt president’s crimes and lies have been exposed for all to see, I for one repudiate the dishonorable and insulting suggestion from his supporters that I or any American of integrity, “Get over it.”

Getting over it for us isn’t an option because that would mean the un-American and unthinkable result of getting away with it for him. Getting over it would also require selling our souls to condone his criminality, betraying the legacy of our founders and ignoring his assaults on our fundamental institutions and values.

No, instead I urge all loyal Americans with a conscience to do the exact opposite, thank you very much, and stand together to defend this country against the threats that his abuses of power and disloyalty represent to our Constitution and our democracy.

Note from KBJ: Stop projecting your corruption and criminality onto President Trump, Philip.

Good news seems to be happening with respect to Turkey, Syria and the Middle East. Further reports to come later!

Re: “Stunning 737 MAX text messages reveal Boeing knew of MCAS aggression in 2016 and misled FAA” [Oct. 18, seattletimes.com]:

This Boeing thing reminds me of President Donald Trump and his scandals.

It just keeps getting worse and worse.

To the editor:

Amy Koss asserts that spelling-challenged people need our understanding rather than ridicule, but surely this should not apply to the president of the United States.

In fact, Koss’ plea for the public to go easy on President Trump’s spelling mistakes seems designed to stir up your literate readers, just as Trump’s ungrammatical tweets catch the attention of supporters who are similarly spelling-challenged or scornful of the need for using precise language.

Everybody knows these mistakes in communications from the Oval Office originate with an impulsive need for quick retorts and the inability to rely on others for assistance of any kind because he’s the greatest. Are these also qualities we should accept with understanding?

Yes, Trump is the greatest bad speller and grammarian we have ever seen in public office. Congratulations, Mr. President.
