The Baxter Bulletin

Trump simply stuffing his own coffers while President

C.A. Olufson,

Mountain Home

Thank you Baxter Bulletin for the article titled “The Swamp: playing all sides for a fortune in contracts” on May 24. Trump is profiting that the from the office.

He has made $40 million-plus from his hotel in Washington, and $25 million at Mar-A-Lago. He got $500 million from China for a Trump-linked project in Indonesia. Now, that is why he is all for ZTE, the company in China that the CIA has accused of espionage.

They are using their phone parts to spy on Americans. He is selling our country out, to make a fast buck. Ivanka now has 34 trademarks in China. Why aren’t any of her products Made in America? Trump signed an agreement that there would be no new business deals while he was in office.

I am sick of all his lies and conspiracy theories, all the old ones have been debunked.

There is no Spygate or Witchhunt! Trump is the dark state! The Mueller investigation was started because he fired Comey, because of the Russian thing, as he clearly stated on national TV! He is still fuming because Sessions recused himself. He wanted him to be his puppet and control Mueller.

The Justice Department upholds the rule of law and the constitution. The people doing the investigation are people Trump appointed, or Republicans! Trump is not above the law and neither was Nixon. McCarthy and Trump are very much the same, its all about lies and smears.

One year is not long enough to be done with this investigation. Benghazi was four years, Clinton was six years. Way too many people close to trump have met with Russians!

Let Mueller do his job. So far there have been 19 indictments and three guilty pleas, from Flynn, Gates, and Poppodoplis, for lying to the FBI. That’s why Trump is trying to discredit the FBI. The Russians are still sowing discord between Americans. Get off Facebook! The old Trump was a lifelong Democrat from Queens. Now he’s a demagogue autocrat!

Thank you to the Fox news anchor that spoke the truth about Trump’s latest conspiracy theory. The GOP needs to step up and speak out, not just the ones that are retiring or not seeking re-election. If he isn’t stopped, we will have another "Saturday night massacre."

Trump uses our institutions for himself, not the people. We have to believe in our Justice Department! Trump is corrosive to this country and our democracy! He is building a house of cards that will fall and America will pay the price. Job growth has been growing for the last 92 months, not just because of him. He is gaslighting the American public!

I will not respond to anyone else’s opinions. Just pay attention!

P.S. He will make any deal with N.K. to get a Nobel peace prize! Watch and see.

Why does the 'Left' try to stir up trouble?

J.R. Crawford,

I agree with the Letter from Edsel Inberg, asking C. A. Olufson to resume writing letters, if the reason they stopped was because some out-of-line jerk sent a letter to their home.

However Edsel Inberg, let's look a little further. Why do those, like yourself, on the left, feel obligated to verbally assault anyone who voted for Trump, or anyone whom they disagree with?

The “Left” (the term was actually mentioned in a Book written 2000 years ago) seems to be driven by anger and they are miserable; while the “Religious Right” seem to be kind, loving and at peace. Sorry to mention this, but trying to keep all who disagree with you, agitated, is not a solution, but part of the problem.

Us so-called “Religious Right” put up with eight years of a president who hated the Country and God that I love; yet we remained silent and respectful; and too, we prayed, and obviously prayer worked. You might try it sometime.
