Letter to the editor: Trump years preferred

Those celebrating the “guilty” verdict against Donald Trump smugly state “no one is above the law” while ignoring the millions of foreigners who are entering the U.S. illegally. By contrast, it seems to me that Trump and his supporters are below the law, as will be proven if this kangaroo court decision is overruled on appeal.

What would happen if Trump were reelected? Prior to the Trump presidency, Vladimir Putin invaded Crimea (2014) and Chechnya and Georgia (2008). Also Kim Jong Un was threatening South Korea with nuclear weapons. During the Trump presidency, Putin did not invade anywhere. The threat from North Korea was nipped in the bud by a simple meeting with Kim. Israel and its Arab neighbors signed a historic peace agreement (Abraham Accords). The U.S. embassy moved to Jerusalem (fulling a promise not kept by previous administrations). Food and gas prices were much cheaper. Oil reserves were at an all-time high.

After the Trump presidency, Putin invaded Ukraine, war broke out in the Middle East, China threatened Taiwan, Kim threatened South Korea again, anti-Israel protests broke out on college campuses, food and gas prices skyrocketed, and oil reserves got depleted. I prefer the Trump years.
