Letter to the editor: GOP’s top hope unfit for office
There’s something we fail to grasp about our national Republican candidate.
There are no laws or penalties that apply, no moral, written, or commonsense rules. Women and girls are tools to be used, abused, and discarded. Taxes are what the foolish pay, like not dodging a draft. Hate-speech entertains. The truth is flexible, or irrelevant. Inject bleach: It cures. Mention charity and forget to contribute.
He can mock the afflicted, weaponize fear and dislike his friends, but there’s much about Hitler that pleases him. Hitler wrote a book, while in jail. Otherwise, reading and writing have no practical use.
As a morally bankrupt, self-anointed autocrat, he inspires the criminal in everyone. Shoot and embezzle at will. Sadism, misogyny, psychosis, psychopathic tendencies, paranoia and egomania are a remarkable mix of personality disorders for one person.
The pilot has not learned to land the plane. We board anyway. What could go wrong?
