Letter: Judge Trump by the company he keeps
(Susan Walsh | AP Photo) President Donald Trump meets with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at the border village of Panmunjom in the Demilitarized Zone, South Korea, Sunday, June 30, 2019.
They say you can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep. In the case of Donald Trump, he likes to belittle, insult and alienate our long time worldwide allies (France, the UK, Australia, etc.) while cozying up to the murderous and corrupt leaders of human rights abusing nations.
Mohammed bin Salman, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un are all brutal tyrants. Trump's pal Benjamin Netanyahu is as corrupt and conniving as Trump.
Here at home, Trump has systematically removed anyone in his cabinet who has shown any moral courage and surrounded himself with people as ethically challenged and clueless as he is.
Coincidence? I think not.
