Letter: Ex-president showed his true allegiance

Posted April 09, 2022 6:00 am

I continue to watch with horror as Vladimir Putin's Russian forces attack Ukraine, indiscriminately killing civilians and creating the most serious threat to peace and democracy since World War II. My heart goes out to the thousands of Ukainian-Americans here in Chicagoland who watch as their homeland, friends and family suffer.

As someone who has supported Republican candidates in the past, I must express my support for President Biden, who is working hard to support Ukraine while keeping NATO unified and avoiding a wider conflict with Russia. I would expect opposition to Putin to be universal among Americans of all political parties. Therefore, I am shocked that ex-President Trump used this situation to ask Putin for help in his fruitless quest to find dirt on President Biden's son.

This proves beyond all doubt that Trump has no love for America, just love for himself, personal power and his baseless lies about the last election.
