Letter: Trump responsible for many deaths
(Evan Vucci | AP) President Donald Trump stands in front of the media while talking about the situation at the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, from his Mar-a-Lago property, Tuesday, Dec. 31, 2019, in Palm Beach, Fla.
When you vote against someone rather than for someone, the alternative may be worse than you intended.
If you voted against Bob Bennett, you ended up with Mike Lee. If you voted against Hillary Clinton you got the dictator wannabe, Donald Trump.
This inept "chosen one," according to the Associated Press, had the unmitigated gall to warn about impending carnage in Syria after throwing the Kurds to the wolves and releasing terrorist prisoners when he withdrew U.S. troops from Syria. Meanwhile his comrade, Vladimir Putin, Syria and the Taliban kill countless civilians with indiscriminate bombing campaigns.
This sociopath bears the responsibility for every civilian death as a result of his indiscretion, as do the members of Congress failing to keep him in check.
