Drill down on Trump

The April 12 Sun Sentinel included a letter to the editor headlined “Half the country disagrees” by Osvaldo Valdes of Hollywood.

I credit him for being a subscriber of this paper even though many readers likely oppose his views. I also wonder if he’s open-minded or, like my GOP friends, he constantly denies Trump’s negatives or just pleads ignorance to his actions. He might reread two letters that accompanied his in the April 12 issue, entitled “If Trump gets back in, he won’t leave” and “The most corrupt ever.”

I realize Joe Biden is not the epitome of everyone’s idea of a president. But we have to look past issues and drill down to what the man is all about. Trump has changed the GOP for the worse. Why do you think so many Republican congressmen and former administration members have resigned and warned us about him?

Trump has made it acceptable to lie and deny. If you lose an election, just deny that you lost or refuse to accept the result. There’s so much infighting in the GOP that it’s difficult to determine where Republicans stand. Too many elected officials are about “my way or the highway” when it’s supposed to be what their constituents want. I’m afraid Mr. Valdes’ hero is a big reason why.
