I believe Trump will work hard for Americans

-

When Donald Trump recently tweeted “I will work hard and never let you down!” he was not talking to Wall Street; he was talking to the middle class. I believe him.

I have also come to the conclusion that Hillary Clinton needs to exit the American political scene. FBI Director James Comey’s criminal investigat­ion revealed that she was either badly mistaken or untruthful to the American people four different times regarding her private email server. Based on the FBI report, I and many other Americans believe she lied to the American people. Four times she changed her story.

She is no Barack Obama. The FBI director spoke specifical­ly about her “extremely careless” behavior. We need a departure from the political elite and the corruption that goes with it. My vote will be for Donald Trump in November. JOHN CHOMKO Indiana Township preserve Americans’ Second Amendment right to own and use firearms.”

One Trump supporter who acknowledg­es there will never be a wall between Mexico and the United States explained that the “concept” of the wall was what really mattered. A virtual wall, it follows, is now the immigratio­n policy. So, is it a virtual ban on Muslims and a virtual return of heavy industry to the Rust Belt States to create virtual jobs?

Mr. Trump refers to his fast and loose talk as “innocent hyperbole,” a form of justifiabl­e exaggerati­on that serves as license to make things up to serve his purpose. If facts are inconvenie­nt, they are dismissed as mere opinion.

As voters, we must judge the ethics and behavior of the candidates, evaluate her/his capacity to build a solid organizati­on to lead the country, measure their authentici­ty and reflect on any acknowledg­ement of errors they make. Mr. Trump has failed each test to date and replaced reality with his new parlance. Truth no longer matters. ELIZABETH LEWIS

We welcome your opinion

Frank listened to my passionate plan to start entreprene­urship at Pitt and told me it would be a challenge, as this is a corporate town, but he would help where he could. For many years, he helped intellectu­ally and financiall­y as I built the Institute for Entreprene­urial Excellence from scratch into success.

Reading the PG story of his scaling back stimulated me to write and acknowledg­e his great work for not only early entreprene­urship but also for numerous organizati­ons in which he served on the board or committees and helped our region so very much. Today, more than ever, I challenge local leaders to emulate Frank Cahouet and get involved in the pressing and emerging challenges of our region. We are all in this together! ANN DUGAN
