Donald Trump’s rant against four democratically elected members of the U.S. House of Representatives was racist, childish, ignorant and inappropriate for a president of the United States or anyone else (“Trump is making Republicans the party of white nationalism. Does anyone in the GOP care?” July 15). But what disturbed me most was the accusation that the four representatives “hate America” because they disagree with President Trump.
If disagreeing with Donald Trump and his policies equals “hating America” then Mr. Trump must consider himself to be the persona of the United States of America. Think Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Saddam Hussein, Kim Jong-un, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and other dictators and autocrats who came to overshadow their countries. Disagreeing with the concept of the presidency would be un-American; disagreeing with the president and his policies is what these members of Congress were elected to do.
Why anyone would continue to support this self-confessed autocrat wannabe is disturbing.
