A soulless president

Posted August 09, 2019 1:00 am

I am writing in reference to The Daily Herald's Aug. 5 front page article "The loss of life is so great."

As I'm writing this, Trump is on national television blaming the two massacres on video games and of course, his go- to target, the American media.

How utterly hypocritical it is for the very person who daily spews his hateful rhetoric to be speaking of these monstrous attacks as if he bears no responsibly.

I was deeply disturbed that the Daily Herald did not report the fact that Trump and his family crashed a wedding reception at his New Jersey compound just hours after the El Paso tragedy. There are photos of Trump and his wife smiling happily as the two poses with the couple. Trump can be seen laughing, smiling and giving his trademark thumbs-up for the cameras.

Soulless. And completely unfit to serve in any elected office. The thought of four more years of this American presidential tragedy is unfathomable.
