To the editor: I laughed out loud reading TV comedy writer Gary Jacobs’ humorous vision of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s semi-gracious concession speech. (“Donald J. Trump’s concession speech, imagined,” Opinion, Oct. 31)

But then reality set in: Trump won’t have time to prepare and deliver a worthy speech, since he will be preoccupied with legal matters.

Consider how many thousands of hours Trump must spend with attorneys to defend lawsuits scheduled for trial this year and scores of other pending cases. Then there are the false-accusation claims he plans to press against women who have made allegations of sexual assault.

With all this litigation confronting Trump, why not forgo the traditional concession speech? He could draw on his years of conducting “The Apprentice” TV shows for a more expeditious, yet gracious tack: Simply pose for press photographers on Nov. 9, silently forcing a smile as he holds a boldly lettered sign proclaiming, “She’s Hired!”

To the editor: I had a good laugh at Jacobs’ article. He played well on the media’s selective and twisted reporting of Trump’s statements, and in keeping with the tradition of this paper, he bashed the Republican nominee but made this Republican voter smile.

Even so, ignoring Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s corruption provides a completely biased look at the news. But we see little printed of Clinton’s sins, and if she wins, the continuing investigation of a sitting president just might serve to haunt all those who vote for her.


Perhaps a second Clinton impeachment will wake up her believers.
