Re “Mr. Trump’s Foes by Any Other Name ...” (editorial, Nov. 20), about the president’s use of name-calling and personal insults:

I believe that the best way to treat a man who has to belittle others continually, which he does to get attention for himself, is to completely ignore him.

We know President Trump lies, we know he stretches the truth and we know he makes baseless claims, but we need to let those things go, and with it, let Mr. Trump go. Without daily attention paid by the media, he will isolate himself. He thrives on hearing and reading about himself.

If the media would spend a few weeks ignoring his peccadilloes, you would see very interesting changes in his behavior. There is a lot more going on in this country and the rest of the world that could fill your newspaper columns.

How ironic! On the same day that The Times celebrates the 40th anniversary of its Science Times section, your editorial page twits President Trump, saying that he might try to take down the Ptolemaic model. It would be a bit late for that. Copernicus and Galileo succeeded in doing that a while back .
