Have some respect while Trump works

I know it has become fashionable and very profitable for some media folks, comedians, talkshow hosts and other commentators to make sport of our president and his family and his business tactics.

I would ask, however, that during this very critical week in our international negotiations that we hold off a bit of the fun and not “poke the bear” when he is so close to the cave. I trust that he knows what he is doing but I am unsure of some of our high-paid entertainers who go the extra mile for a laugh.

This is not the time. JOHN BATTAGLIA, BOYNTON BEACH
