Dear
Congressman,
Re: Tweet
I read
your tweet about your reason for supporting Trump. You say: “He’s a leader that
will protect us rather than let criminals and illegal aliens go to maraud
around our neighborhoods.”
Like that
Parkland teenager, I call bullshit. First of all, I don’t need this man’s
protection, thank you very much. Besides, the image of criminals and
(particularly) illegal aliens going around marauding neighborhoods it so wacky
as to be beyond comment. The appeal to fear is one of Trump’s tried and tested tools
to manipulate his base, but most of America does not buy into it. That’s simply
not our experience of this country. And most illegal aliens are honest,
hard-working people who do no one any harm and instead provide great benefit to
our economy.
As for
Trump “the leader…” Hogwash! The man can’t lead his own tail. He has squandered
American leadership in the world. His leadership of his own party (yours!) has
led it into serious discredit and disarray. His leadership of our country has
succeeded only in deepening division and fostering hatred.
So please
don’t try to tell me he’s a leader. I know that you persist in following him,
but that is sadly to your own discredit. You can’t, surely, be you blind to his
moral obtuseness and his turpitude? His administrative ineptitude? His contempt
for everyone, excluding perhaps his family, but including those who follow him,
as you do? He turns on all of them, eventually.
I say beware,
Congressman. This man’s leadership is nothing to admire. It’s the leadership of
a bully and a boor.
Respectfully,
Peter
Clothier, Ph.D.
