Sununu told us what he really thinks of Trump

March 24 − To the Editor:

I have a friend who, years ago, dated a guy who left her in a burning building. He escaped but left her to fend for herself. Mercifully, she escaped unharmed. She laughed when she admitted that she continued to date him. She learned shortly that was not a great idea and ended up walking away from a relationship that, well, was doomed from the start.

So, it got me thinking about Governor Chris Sununu's support of Donald Trump. According to Alex Floyd, rapid response director for the Democratic National Committee, Sununu remarked, “Donald Trump is a crazy a**hole and a soon-to-be four-time loser who can't beat President Biden,” In addition, “Sununu called Trump a coward and the definition of extremism who can barely keep a cogent thought.”

Huh. And, while talk may be cheap, as it obviously is with Sununu, it does seem rather stunning that Sununu would now support a candidate who not only disparages women, minorities, democracy and laws, a candidate who has remarked, “Well, Hitler did some good things” and a candidate who supports not only “blood baths” but also the exoneration of January 6th rioters. The current governor supports the man who allowed and supported a horrific attack both literally and figuratively on the rule of law, on decency, who now refers to those rioters as “hostages.”

It appears Sununu can look past all that as he projects an image that not only stuns common sense, stuns democracy itself.

My friend got out of the relationship with the boyfriend who left her in the burning building. Sununu is not only staying in the burning building, he's campaigning that we all join him.
