Hex on Trump: whatever works

Re “Hocus POTUS,” Letters, May 27

I chuckled at the fear expressed by some obviously conservative readers at the possibility of President Trump being thwarted by a spell.

I’m with op-ed article writer Diana Wagman: As a citizen concerned with the imminent end of our free society, I’ll take all the help we can get to end Trump’s “reign.” I appreciated her relatively benign view of causing him to politically self-destruct. This stands in contrast to the much more violent energy successfully stoked by Trump and others in the election.

And, while I’m discussing the Saturday letters, including those on the body-slammed reporter, I noticed that Montana has very lax gun laws, especially regarding concealed carry. I wonder what the Republican response would’ve been if Rep.-elect Greg Gianforte’s aggression against an obviously overmatched reporter had gotten him shot.
