Letter to the editor: No question that Trump should be president

I never liked Joe Biden. It seemed like he was always angry and yelling as a politician. I guess he learned early that people naturally back down from confrontation. What I saw at last week’s debate was a pathetic shell of a man who was a terrible senator and an even worse president and doesn’t know it.

The cognitive difference between Biden and Donald Trump was startling. I saw no difference with Trump from 2016 to 2020 to now. Perception is reality.

I don’t think Biden is competent to be president, and the world knows it. Trump was spot-on when he said the Hamas-Israel and Russia-Ukraine wars would not have happened if he was president. Putin asked for a guarantee that Ukraine wouldn’t join NATO, and Biden told him to pound salt. Then Putin invaded.

I was getting by just fine in retirement until Biden shut down the Keystone XL pipeline and over-stimulated the economy with trillions of dollars. The price of everything rose 30%. Biden was declared the most progressive president in history, which has caused deep social divisions in the country. His answer to every issue is to throw more money at it. Trump has a real business plan, and his presidency was great until covid hit.

There’s “no contest” on who to vote for.
