Re “President Says He’d Storm In to Stop a Killer” (front page, Feb. 27):

President Trump says he would run into the building and save the students. This coming from a man who got a deferment from serving in the Vietnam War because of supposed bone spurs, and he can’t remember which foot. I think it is the foot he puts in his mouth every time he opens it.

Mr. Trump has what is often referred to as the John Wayne mentality. If you recall, Mr. Wayne’s only time in the military was in the movies. Mr. Trump’s only time in the military is in his mind and when he sits with the generals.

“I really believe I’d run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon,” President Trump said. When I heard about this remark, the image that irresistibly sprang to my mind was Mr. Trump riding in his little golf cart while all the other Western leaders walked at the G-7 summit meeting last May. “Like you can even run,” I thought, and then went on to read actual news.
