No apology for Trump’s America

-

Brentwood, L.I.: Voicer Paul Harris is exactly the kind of person who got Trump elected. The arrogance of him to apologize to the world on behalf of Americans. I’m a proud Trump voter who has nothing to apologize for! Trump is far from perfect but is exactly what America needed after decades of the “experts” we’ve had running America from the White House, Congress, Senate and our military.

Experts who have run us into the ground with a growing $22 trillion debt; 11 million illegal immigrants living off taxpayers; a world of enemies and allies taking advantage of us with trade deficits in the hundreds of billions with certain countries; the loss of millions of American jobs; health care in shambles; education in shambles, and I could go on.

Harris forgot to mention to the world that there was a time when Americans respected the results of an election, though we see now that the side that feigned outrage about accepting the results of the past election never intended to respect the results unless it went their way!

It’s also very disturbing to see Americans like Harris side with other nations over America!

So, please, Mr. Harris, don’t presume to apologize to the world on my behalf; it’s about time America elected a POTUS that puts America first! Anthony Johnson Sr.

All Presidents lie

Stewart Manor, L.I.: To Voicer Paul Harris: I don’t apologize. The Electoral College is the law of the land. Don’t like it, change it! Why not mention FDR, JFK, LBJ and Bill Clinton, who committed the same acts you are accusing Trump of doing, except they did it while in the presidenti­al office and Clinton lied about it while in office and under oath. Sorry you lost the election. Try now to unite this country rather than hinder every move our elected President makes. Skip McGrory

Can’t take it seriously

The Villages, Fla.: I have to assume that Voicer Paul Harris’ apology to the world was written as satire. No one can write such whiny drivel and mean it, except Mike Lupica of course.

Mike Connolly

No apologies needed

West Springfiel­d, Mass.: To Voicer Paul Harris, please do not try to represent all Americans with your stupid “apology.” But, you live in California, so it’s quite obvious who your idol is. Your ridiculous letter, expressing the need to “apologize” for the actions of our leadership, sounds just like Barack Obama, who spent eight years going around the world “apologizin­g” for America because he did not like his own country. Yes, we know, President Trump isn’t perfect; it’s very difficult to become a billionair­e by being a saint. Trump has done more in almost 18 months in office than his predecesso­r did in eight years. Hey, Paul, have you ever lied? Hey, Paul, have you ever spoken badly of someone in front of others? Hey, Paul, no one has to “forgive us for our sins.” America will be just fine with Trump. I and 60 million other Americans do not need anyone apologizin­g to the world for Donald Trump. Keep it to yourself. Ken Ritucci

Fact-based Americans

Manhattan: To Voicer Paul Harris: Thank you for listing real facts! Voicer Arthur Betsch also claimed that had Obama gotten three prisoners released from North Korea it would be “all over the news”: American hostages released from North Korea during the Obama administra­tion — Edna Lee, Laura Ling, Robert Park, Aijalon Gomes, Eddie Yong Su Jun, Merrill Newman, Jeffrey Fowle, Kenneth Bae, Matthew Miller and Sandra Suh. Don’t be ignorant. Read, brutha!

Michael Lieberman

Right on

Yonkers: To Voicer Paul Harris: Very well stated and amen to that. I’m with you 100%.

Takes one to know one

Forest Hills: To Trump-worshiping Voicers Louise Volpe and Wanda Lucci: The fact that you praise a racist, homophobic, xenophobic degrader of women, handicappe­d people and heroes such as John McCain and someone who brags about grabbing women by the p---y doesn’t put you in a very good light.

Obama was there first

Bronx: Voicer Arthur Betsch: I will not yield not one second to supporters of this malignant administra­tion who want to rewrite the truth. President Barack Obama had 11 prisoners released from North Korea during his tenure and he did not need a photo op at 3 a.m. to take credit. Obama did not need the ratings or the poll numbers. “Truth is the backbone of character” said Henry Kletzing, and this White House shows that it has none every day.

Hands off on hand outs

Manhattan: For Pete’s sake (and no offense to Pete), but just once, I’d like to get from my home in Inwood to my place of work in Crown Heights without being accosted by random people asking me for money or some other handout! I work very hard for my money and I don’t appreciate being harassed. Gladys Zenon

Still not Fonda Hanoi Jane

Oakland Gardens: How dare the Daily News put a picture of that piece of garbage, Jane Fonda, on page 3 or anywhere in the paper except the obituary page! You may as well spit on the graves of the 58,000 American heroes who died in a clash none of us wanted. This Vietnam veteran is outraged over this picture. Gerald E. Maley

Harassment 101

Brooklyn: I was appalled, yet not very surprised, by your exposé (“School bigs still get paid after harass raps,” May 12). What I want to know is why our tax money is paying for the lawsuits, and why they get to keep their jobs and salaries! Why are they not responsibl­e for the payouts, and why are they not in jail for committing crimes they were convicted of? These demon spawn and whomever makes these decisions should be locked up, at the very least. This is despicable. Susan Cassano

Poor choice of words

Tampa: I could not believe reporter Greg Smith and The News’ proofreade­r and editor would allow the phrase “half Puerto Rican, half white” to be included in the story “From playa to pauper” (May 6). Ignorance of the difference between nationalit­y and race is, regrettabl­y, commonplac­e in the population at large, but it is really unforgivab­le for a newspaper to display that same level of cluelessne­ss. Felipe Yanes

Modernizin­g The News

Brooklyn: I started reading the Daily News at 9 years old. The paper was delivered for years to our house. I click on your website and I am bombarded with murders across the country. Your paper was known for covering only New York stories. I believe that if you want to survive you must become completely visual. Nobody reads anymore. I really don’t need to know who was murdered in Kansas yesterday. I understand that the amount of clicks is used by advertiser­s. However, there is too much coverage of numerous ridiculous stories. Change your website to completely visual. Send reporters with their cell phones to each borough. Have them do reports covering local news, which was your formula for years. I cannot take the bombardmen­t of 50 news stories on your site. Change the title of your website to “Live at the Daily News.” The new generation wants to see the story in real time like on Fox, CNN and MSNBC.

Amazin’ fans

Monroe, N.J.: To Voicer Mitch Green, who sadly has said goodbye to the Mets, read this: As much as the Mets drive us crazy, as much as they frustrate us, they are all a huge part of our lives and I believe none of us, if we had the chance to go back in time and pick another team, would do so. There’s something special about being a Mets fan. You can’t explain it to anyone who isn’t one, but we all know what it is, and I truly am thankful I’m a Mets fan.

Reviewing the panels

GETTY New Hyde Park, L.I.: Re Voicer Alex Burton’s rant, I enjoy the comic strip “Between the Lines.” Obviously, you read the comics or you wouldn’t be commenting. When I read the comic pages, I read the ones that appeal to me. The others, I skip over. As far as you trying to figure out “RaPUNzel,” through your eyes you saw it as an automobile and a chair, therefore, car seat. Go back and take another look. I’m sure eventually you will figure it out, because I’m sure you are one “smart cookie”! Andrew Dooley
