Here’s one quick way to end much of our current political strife: President Trump could always apply to North Korea or Vietnam for political asylum, based on a well-founded fear of persecution in his home country.

After more than two years of Presidential Harassment, the only things that have been proven is that Democrats and other broke the law. The hostile Cohen testimony, given by a liar to reduce his prison time, proved no Collusion! His just written book manuscript showed what he…..

…said was a total lie, but Fake Media won’t show it. I am an innocent man being persecuted by some very bad, conflicted & corrupt people in a Witch Hunt that is illegal & should never have been allowed to start – And only because I won the Election! Despite this, great success!

To the editor:

As I read the L.A. Times’ article on the trend by presidents and other politicians toward “increasingly simple, straightforward sentences that a casual listener could more readily follow,” I recalled the staccato speech pattern of Sen. Joseph McCarthy addressing the 1952 Republican National Convention:

“Even if there were only one communist in the State Department, that would be one communist too many.”

Similar to McCarthy, President Trump used the scare word du jour, “socialist,” in his Feb. 11 address to a rally crowd in El Paso, Texas: “So I again say to you—and I say it for the world to hear—America will never be a socialist country.”

Substitute “communist” for “socialist,” and one would be hard-pressed to distinguish Trump from McCarthy.

I hope our great Republican Senators don’t get led down the path of weak and ineffective Border Security. Without strong Borders, we don’t have a Country – and the voters are on board with us. Be strong and smart, don’t fall into the Democrats “trap” of Open Borders and Crime!
