“Trump gives farmers $16 billion in aid amid prolonged China trade war” [seattletimes.com, May 24] describes what Trump and his Agriculture Secretary are doing because of the damage the tariffs are causing our nation’s farmers.

This trade war with China and the subsequent aid package are clearly political maneuvers by the Trump administration and his reelection committee. The trade war is so that he can sound tough on trade and try to keep another campaign promise.

The farmer aid is to buy votes in the farm counties. This aid package is being financed by our tax dollars, not China like Trump says.

Based on what this is really for, to help get Trump reelected, I feel his campaign should be forced to pick up the $16 billion price tag.

If Donald Trump resigns or is removed from office, Mike Pence will be president. He could choose Donald Trump Jr (currently 41 years of age) as his vice president. Leftist heads would explode.

Here is Kurt Schlichter’s latest column.

To the editor:

Former Justice Department special counsel Robert S. Mueller III has spoken. Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.), the sole House Republican to call for President Trump’s impeachment, who received a standing ovation at a recent district town hall, has spoken.

The House must now pursue the issue of Trump’s obstruction of the Russian investigation.

Mueller made it very clear that his decision to not bring any charges against Trump was really not a decision at all, since Department of Justice policy holds that a sitting president cannot be indicted. He further stated that “charging the president with a crime was not an option we could consider,” and that the Constitution “requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting president of wrongdoing.”

Impeachment in the House is that process. Our democracy and the integrity and legacies of each member of Congress will be determined by how they act right now.

In hopeful anticipation, I say to Congress: Thank you for your courage.

Note from KBJ: President Trump continues to run circles around his critics. It infuriates the likes of Tony Haftel.
