Negative letters about president make me laugh

Again, there is a letter to the editor regarding President Trump. The letter appears to be a duplicate of so many in the past that it appears to be taken from the opposition party’s weekly letter to their donors.

While some of it may be true, President Trump is not “a good ol’ boy” politician; he is a businessman and very good at what he does. He is not a progressive or liberal allowing the minority to run the country. He is not an open borders person. He believes in American citizenship.

It’s the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Consular Affairs that is failing at its job to police those who overstay their visas, which is illegal. The statistics appear to near 50 percent of the illegal population are those who overstays their visa.

He is for a smaller federal government and more power to the states. He lowered the tax tables for you and businesses that actually drive the economy. There is climate change but humans are a small part of the total equation (or should be) because of the cycles the planet goes though and volcanoes that kept putting ash into the air. I’m sorry but I chuckle at every “negative Trump” letter to the editor. But you are free to express your opinions because that’s what makes our America Great Again.
