Is Trump trying to destroy democracy?

-

President Donald Trump vowed he’s “fighting all” House subpoenas, and White House lawyers indicated this week that they would tell former officials not to comply with subpoenas for their testimony.

Of course President Donald Trump would want to take the battle over Congress’ subpoenas to the Supreme Court; he is very partial to that since he believes he has two puppets sitting on the bench. Trump believes (and he is probably right) that the Supreme Court will destroy democracy to placate him.

While every administra­tion has fought with Congress, the truth is that the amount of political rhetoric and obstructio­n to Trump from this Democratic Congress seems unpreceden­ted!

If people support Trump dodging the truth, then they need to ask themselves, “What is he hiding?” If Trump is innocent, then he should be forthcomin­g with his tax returns and financial records. Nick Anderson

House Democrats are now going to spend what is left of Trump’s presidency harassing him, instead of passing needed legislatio­n for the good of us all. They will lose the House in 2020, so we can forget about anything good coming out of the House until 2021. John Russell

The left convenient­ly forgets the Internal Revenue Service already has Trump’s records. If the IRS is good with Trump’s tax returns, then they are good by me. These records are irrelevant with regard to how he runs the country, and that’s what I care about, not how much he paid in taxes in 2011. Democrats are going to mess this up again, just like they did in 2016. They wonder how Trump won; it’s simple, they can’t offer a better alternativ­e. Alex Bieri
