Those with power to limit

Trump are doing nothing

Re: “Trump again takes aim at John McCain over dossier, prompting rebuke from Meghan McCain” (Eastbaytimes.com, March 17):

I am usually able to contain my fear and despair over the unstable antics of Donald Trump, but after his renewed nasty attack on John McCain’s memory and lifetime of service, I am awash in helplessness and anxiety.

What sane person revels in trashing a hero who has been dead for seven months? Who would be so lacking in compassion to gleefully attack someone while the family is still grieving?

That has to be a high mark in nastiness and petulant, juvenile and jealous behavior. But that is what Donald Trump is. And it is scaring me because no one with the power to contain or control him is doing anything. They are as spineless and cowardly as he is and, as a result, the country is being severely damaged.
