Re “Trump Got Booed. Can I Smile?,” by Jennifer Weiner (Op-Ed, Oct. 29):

Donald Trump has upset me almost every day for the last three years. It continues even though I mute the television every time he begins to speak. And now he is scaring me, too. So did I revel in seeing the look on his face when he was booed at Sunday’s World Series game? You betcha! The “lock him up” chant may have been a bridge too far, but did he deserve it? Absolutely.

What about the millions of people in this country and others who have been injured directly or indirectly by his words and actions? He has no concern for anyone but himself. Ever. Revenge is a dish best served cold. For me, seeing Donald Trump impeached, convicted and ending up in federal prison for his many crimes would definitely do it.

As much as Jennifer Weiner may relish the schadenfreude of seeing President Trump treated as nastily as he treats others, such rancorous attitudes will only hurt American democracy.

For one thing, Mr. Trump and his supporters will just hit back harder. “ Hate begets hate ; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness,” as the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said. Incivility is not a sound election strategy, but a recipe for partisan animosity.
