To the Editor:

Re “President’s Son Criticizes London Mayor, to Some Britons’ Dismay” (news article, March 23):

I am a Brit who is incandescent with rage after reading about Donald Trump Jr.’s tweet in response to the recent terror attack.

The total lack of the compassion and respect that is surely to be expected from a president and his offspring is unacceptable in a civilized world. In two short months we have seen America reduced from the leader of the Western world to the pariah of the Western world. Are Americans proud of this change? Surely not — certainly not those Americans of my acquaintance.

It is important for people like me to make their feelings known. It is equally important for the many honorable Americans to respond, to stand up and be counted. Enough is enough.
