Letter to the editor: Trump is no savior

D.A. Scandrol’s letter “Trump as messiah” was the most sacrilegious drivel I’ve read in 84 years of living. To admire and support President Trump is one thing; but to even remotely compare him to Christ is utterly ridiculous.

Trump came to make America great again. America was already great, only slipping because of politicians not trying to come together. Trump has added to the chasm.

Jesus came as a teacher with authority; Trump seeks to be a dictator.

Trump came to flaunt the Constitution.

Trump attempted to be a Caesar and a Pilate.

Trump offended the political elite because he wants to be the sole political elite.

Trump’s popularity is growing. Obviously, the writer does not read nor hear about the percentage who do not believe Trump is doing well.

Trump resurrected the economy. Our economy is an ebb-and-flow entity. Trump happened along at the right time.

Trump has only made the political “swamp” harder to navigate.

Trump is condemned because of his mouth, insulting and slandering all who disagree with him.

Trump was elected to save America from itself. Who is going to save America from Trump?

Jesus at 12 stunned the elders of the temple. Trump at 18 eluded serving his country.

Trump is rejected by many because he is slanderous, a liar and rejects all who disagree with or criticize him — plus his stance on gun control, his attitude toward blacks and Latinos, and his “stealing” money from other sources to build his wall.

Trump is no savior; he’s become a pariah.
