Trump doesn’t know the difference

Dear Editor, Never was the divisiveness in American politics more evident than the display at President Trump’s State of the Union address. It began with the refusal to shake Pelosi’s hand, and culminated with the shredding of the “speech”, which was labeled a “manifesto of mistruths”. “I” lost count of the number of times “me” or “I” was used, but for “me” the most egregious insult to the intellect came when Trump lambasted education, by alleging students are trapped in failing “Government Schools”, and advocated for “School Choice”.

Dear Editor, Freedom. What does that mean to you Americans? When I was a boy there is something we always started the day at school with. “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” The meant a lot to me. I felt good about my country and my heritage of freedom and justice. Now, what do you believe in America? Nearly 70% of you think it would be all right to have a socialist president. I guess…
