The News Leader

Six months and counting. We have approached and endured the first six months of the presidency of Donald J. Trump, and the time has come for him and the royal family to resign. For the good of our great country, we can no longer sustain such high levels of immorality, ignorance, incompetence, and now widespread investigations into obstruction of justice and the jeopardizing of U.S. national security.

As a businessman of 34 years, I know that six months is a standard timeframe to know whether an employee deserves more time on the job. In the case of President Trump, even as an intern he would have been fired after one week in any business I am aware of.

Please resign, Mr. President, so that America will no longer be soiled by your behavior and ineptitude.

GEORGE F. THOMPSON
