Regarding “President sparks furor with video targeting CNN” (July 3): The leader of the free world engaged in name-calling and arguing with talk-show persons. How unpresidential and how embarrassing. And he doesn’t even know that he is embarrassing. How sad. Meanwhile, our legislators do nothing about this misfit.

And I feel sorry for those in the White House press, trying to get information from an administration replete with untruths. Why even bother? They will never get the truth.

It’s one thing to have policy differences with political parties, but an all-out assault on the free press by our president since inauguration is very scary and jeopardizes the sanctity of our Constitution, specifically the First Amendment.

If any president took up the same outspoken, in-your-face campaign with such frequency and animosity as President Trump has, the entire GOP would find reason to overthrow the administration. How can Republicans let this assault against the free press pass? Where are the patriots in the Republican Party?

Comparing Trump to Obama is ridiculous

Regarding Walt Bratten’s letter (“Weighing in on Trump’s testy tweeting habit,” July 1): Could he please name for all of us at least three things that he considers to be “the damage President Obama did to our country and our children’s future”?


Then I can easily name at least twice as many things that Trump has already done that will truly do damage to our country and children’s future. I’m tired of all of this right-wing innuendo and drivel. What is it that really bothered them about Obama’s policies? Give us examples.

But thanks to Bratten for asking Trump to turn off his tweets. Hopefully enough of us will eventually win out on this.
