It’s a duck

-

The usual Republican suspect from Bethel has emulated his beloved leader by adding another lie to the record.

He recently wrote that Obama spent eight years blaming G.W. Bush for the Great Recession.

Unlike Trump, Obama was not into character assassinat­ion or insults.

Educated — formal or not — citizens know that Wall Street investment bankers and “shadow bankers” like AIG speculated.

Also, anyone with a pulse could get a mortgage and pay a ridiculous­ly high price for a home.

No one blamed it on Bush. Also, I invite the Trumpites to read the New York Times study about his and his father’s unethical and illegal real estate and casino deals from the 1930’s on.

Actually, an educated citizen knew all about this before the NYT’s study.

David Kay Johnson’s book is the best of many which exposed the Trumps’ business dealings.

Had someone like “60 Minutes” or a long New York Magazine piece in 2016 revealed Trump’s character — a narcissist­ic con man — perhaps we would have sanity in the White House today.

While I’m at it, there’s a great book out by 20 behavioral scientists which means to warn the country of the president’s dangerous mental condition.

These brave authors generally would not opine on someone’s mental state without having had several interviews.

But having heard his irrational rantings during the campaign and thereafter they figured that if “it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, etc.... it’s a duck.” Joe Piera Danbury
