Letter: Catching up on the news

(Evan Vucci | Associated Press file photo) President Donald Trump speaks during a meeting with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar in the Oval Office of the White House, Thursday, March 14, 2019, in Washington.

I read the news today, oh boy!

Recently, two LDS missionaries being booted out of Russia!

Should the LDS Church distance itself from Trump, for his support of Vladimir Putin?

In harsh responses from LDS Utah Republicans, Sens. Mitt Romney and Mike Lee had “no comment”! John Curtis is “extremely troubled”! Donald Trump Jr. thinks it’s “terrible.”

What leadership!

In other bad news:

  • The Pentagon may tap into $1 billion in leftover funds from military pay and pensions to build Trump’s wall!
  • Republican Sen. John Cornyn from Texas said, “It’s a concern.”
  • He’s called “Mr. Springing into Action Cornyn” from here on out, I’m assuming.
  • In bad news for farmers:

    Trump’s trade policies have caused a 12 percent net drop in farm income nationally last year! Hog farmers in Iowa are selling pigs for a loss! Trump used $12 billion of our taxpayer money to bail them out! Iowa state Republican party chairman Jeff Kauffmann said, “It’s quite an interesting phenomenon”!

    To say the least! Thanks Jeff!

    To sum it up: If you’re an LDS farm boy in the military, and Republican — why?
