He’s running for our attention

Re “Trump runs again, uphill,” Nov. 16

Your front-page report on former President Trump’s 2024 campaign announcement made me cry. I seriously considered ending my over-60-year subscription to The Times.

Our democracy cannot survive continued attention to an ethically and emotionally deficient person. If you are compelled to print outrageous statements, put the article inside the paper and use small print.

Constant front-page coverage in 2015 and 2016 helped Trump win the presidency. He probably received $1 billion worth of frontpage coverage nationally in that campaign. Please do not do it again. Better yet, print his outrageous comments only after he pays your advertising rates. Sally Cook

Please do not give Trump the attention that his ego craves. He lost the last election and cost his party these midterms, and we cannot take more of his lies, name-calling and signals for his MAGA people to riot and endanger our fellow Americans.

We cannot take two or possibly six more years of this evil behavior. Jeanette Fein
