Regarding Terrence Feitknecht’s letter “Trump’s deeds match his promises” (Aug. 21, TribLIVE): President Trump’s promises do not affect my life in any way, shape or form. As for his personality, I couldn’t care less about it.
What I wrote about previously was his character — or lack of it. Being amoral or unethical has nothing to do with personality but everything to do with character.
President Coolidge had no personality to speak of, but he still got elected because he had character — something that mattered back in the day.
Trump said, “Nobody likes me.” Then why not just go off somewhere and eat some worms. He has said he wants to give Americans what they want. Then why doesn’t he just submit his resignation? I think that’s what the majority of Americans want.
Then there’s one of his favorite subjects, the stock market. That’s where rich conservatives and big businessmen go to make even more money. Overall, they seem to be doing quite well on Wall Street while small businesses struggle to survive on Main Street.
Feitknecht’s last question was “What do you vote for?” My answer is someone possessing the human qualities I mentioned in my last letter (“What I’ve learned about Trump,” Aug. 14, TribLIVE) — of which I don’t believe Trump has any.
