A few more items on Trump’s ‘done’ list

-

To Tom Neill’s list of “thank yous” to President Trump (Letters, December 5), I’d like to add a few more:

— Thank you for replacing George W. Bush as the worst president in my lifetime, and for replacing James Buchanan as the worst president in American history (according to a Time magazine survey of 170 presidenti­al historians).

— Thank you for exposing your party’s hypocrisy and racism. Remember when you and the Tea Party Republican­s said that your staunch opposition to President Obama was based solely on your concerns about deficit spending and immigratio­n policy and had nothing to do with his being Black? And yet, we haven’t heard a peep from the Tea Party in the past four years, even though illegal immigratio­n and the federal deficit have both increased during your tenure!

— Thank you for motivating the greatest voter turnout in American history, and for energizing over 80 million citizens to overcome your voter suppressio­n tactics and cast their ballots to remove you from office.

— And even though you broke your campaign promises to bring back coal and steel jobs, thank you for rejuvenati­ng the funeral home, cremation, and cemetery businesses. Over 280,000 Americans have died from a disease you consistent­ly downplayed, while ignoring and deriding health care profession­als. Plus, just think of all of the work you’ve generated for the factchecke­rs, who’ve had to adjudicate the 25,000 lies you’ve told since taking office!
