Letter: If you elect a clown, expect a circus

President Trump accepting a reported offer to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is a stunning turn of events after a year that saw them engage in a heated verbal warfare that included crude insults and mutual threats of nuclear attacks. It remains to be seen whether a summit will take place or lead to a meaningful breakthrough in the nations’ relationship. (AP Photo/Richard Drew, File)

It’s only been a few weeks since President Trump was here to announce that he was slashing the size of our Utah monuments, and our governor, Sen. Orrin Hatch and LDS Church leaders positively gushed over Trump. Now our great moral leader is embroiled in yet another sex scandal, this time with a “porn star.” Still gushing? Or can we now look for some righteous indignation?

As a wise man once said: “If you elect a clown, expect a circus.”
