The President’s game of throne

-

Barrington, N.J.: There are some in the Republican Party who want to see President Trump fail. No matter what he does, they always push back at him. So here is what the President should do for the next four year: Call those who dislike him, ask them to come to the Oval Office, one by one. Then tell each and every one of them: See this throne? There is only one person who sits here and that’s me. I’m the man — not youse. Now, get out of my castle. End of story. Robert Pozzi Brooklyn: I am not the only person concerned about the threat posed to our existence by Donald Trump and his gang of mentally and morally incompeten­t psychopath­s and morons. The obvious threat is that President Trump et al. are completely lacking in any integrity or moral character, in a situation that requires absolute and complete fidelity and loyalty. Our existence is threatened because Trump would do anything for money, including sell our nuclear codes and other military secrets to the highest bidder. Harvey Stoneburne­r

Pointing finger

Southampto­n, L.I.: I’ve noticed that Donald Trump never wears a wedding ring. He must have at least three of them by now. Could it be they don’t make them that small? John Zaleski Brooklyn: As to these moronic judges blocking President Trump’s efforts to keep people from terrorist countries out of the United States: Wouldn’t it be ironic if something did happen, and they were caught right in the middle of it? Scott M. Smilo

Awful truth

Brooklyn: Re President Trump’s BS.: When I was growing up and told even 1% of his accusation­s, his denials over everything that goes wrong and dropping it on some flunky’s head (and being the first to take credit when things go right): My father would make sure I couldn’t sit for a week from the spanking I would get. Trump is making our country look like fools. Somebody please start impeachmen­t proceeding­s before he gets the U.S. into a deadly war with the rest of the world. Draftdodge­r jerk. Jim Nelson

You’re grounded

Cranford, N.J.: I just heard President Trump’s budget director give New York and New Jersey the bad news: No NPR, no Channel 21, virtually one meal for Dinner on Wheels, no breakfast for poor kids. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Trump could just manage one less airplane trip to Florida each week. Think about how many lives that could affect. Leff LaHuta

Racial fires fanned

Manhattan: Be afraid. Last month, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said that black colleges represent the fruits of choice in education. Then Housing Secretary Ben Carson said that slaves were really immigrants with aspiration­s. This denies the very existence of slavery and fundamenta­l denials of human rights. A few weeks before that, President Trump and his administra­tion defended a Holocaust Remembranc­e Day statement that omitted any mention of Jews or anti-Semitism. In doing, so they brought Holocaust denial mainstream. This President has unleashed darkness and indecency. The crosses are burning and they lit the match.

Petting Putin

Great Neck, L.I.: Vladimir Putin is obviously a put-and-take individual. He puts his meddling hands in our election and then takes out a compliment from President Trump about how “intelligen­t” he is. Fred Feingold

Fair Fox

Bronx: I am thankful for Fox News, which gives an unbiased and factual accounting of news stories, especially concerning our elected President Donald J. Trump. I am well informed by such news personalit­ies as Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, Jeanine Pirro and Tucker Carlson. I’d hate to get all my news from CNN or MSNBC, which are fountains of misinforma­tion, especially when it concerns Trump. I caught a clip of the Rachel Maddow fiasco concerning Trump’s tax return from 2005, which shows he indeed did pay his taxes. Shows like Maddow’s will ensure that I will only get my news, especially relating to Trump, from Fox News. Thank you, Rachel!

Fake news, real talk

Staten Island: Anyone who voted for fake-news Trump should have their head examined. You know what I am saying. Peace out.

Who says?

Flushing: Re “Kid herpes shock” (March 9), a clarificat­ion. The biblical ritual of circumcisi­on was ordained by the Lord God, speaking in the first person: “On the eighth day, the child shall be circumcise­d (Leviticus 12:3).” The practice metzitzah b’peh is not sanctioned.

Fog of windows

Bronx: How things have changed. Back in the day, when riding on buses, the windows were clean. Now you can hardly see out of them. If you don’t watch to see where your stop is by looking straight ahead, you will miss it. Also, some of the bus floors are littered with garbage. Does the city have workers to clean them? Ethel R. Brown

Stops stalled

Richmond Hill: Almost every time the MTA wants a fare increase, it gets it. Why is it that they can’t clear bus stops? Our health and safety are at stake.

Bless the rescuers

Bronx: Thank you, Ginger Adams Otis, for such a wonderful article about EMT Yadira Arroyo (“City owes EMTs so much more,” March 21). Every night before I go to bed, I pray that my son John and his brothers and sisters are safe out there, taking care of all the sick people who call in for help. I pray that my God brings them home safely, and think about the sacrifice they make every day. Thank you to all the firefighte­rs and EMTs. May God bless you always, keep you safe from harm and bring you home to your families. Jennie Batista

Jimmy lives

Brooklyn: My condolence­s to the family of Jimmy Breslin. Jimmy was a great reporter and writer. There should be a movie about him. Charlie Leahey

Hear it for Hinckley

Little Egg Harbor, N.J.: After reading the many tributes to the great Jimmy Breslin, I was disappoint­ed that David Hinckley was never mentioned. He wrote an inspiring column in the Daily News the day after Breslin’s death. Hinckley, who was one of my favorites, wrote mainly about entertainm­ent, yet this column held its head up high. Let’s have more David Hinckley!

Sick, sad speeder

Maspeth: Reading about former traffic agent Stefan Hoyte’s snotnosed attitude in a brief court appearance turned my stomach inside out (“Smilin’ sicko,” March 22). What the hell is the matter with that guy? He’s apparently in a state of denial over the allegation that he was driving at warp speed on the Williamsbu­rg Bridge at 3 o’clock in the morning, resulting in the death of Amanda Miner. He possibly could have been juiced up with something in addition to two beers. The article makes him come off as a cold fish. Sadly, the final outcome of his prosecutio­n will not bring her back. I just hope justice will prevail.

So there

Woodmere, L.I.: To Voicer Joseph McCoppin: You’re a freakin’ moron. P.S. Hope everybody had a nice St. Patrick’s Day. I know I did! Mike Schmidt

A dog’s life

Jonathan Ernst/Reuters Central Islip, L.I.: Re “Dog tosser thrown in jail for 1 yr.” (March 17): Only one year! This is an outrage. This excuse for a human being should have been put away for a lot longer. They may say, “It’s only a dog,” but it is still a life. Would he have gotten one year if he had thrown a baby out the window? Thomas Sarc

Respect the holy

Floral Park: It’s outrageous that the bias against the Christian faith is still alive and well today. I’m referring to the March 22 “Between the Lines” comic. In the Catholic religion, the sacred host, called the Eucharist, is held in the highest esteem and reverence, and should never be denigrated in any way. It is the Daily News’ responsibi­lity to ensure that anything printed in the paper does not degrade anyone’s religion. Jennifer Costanzo
