Kudos to Micki Moulton for a brilliant letter July 13, chastising “Private Bone Spurs” for referring to “my military” while ignoring the fact that the Taliban receives a bounty from for the murder of American soldiers. Trump’s continuous adoration for Russia’s dictator raises a myriad of suspicions, not the least of which is blackmail.

With blood on his hands, the president flew to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to meet wounded service members and the health care providers caring for COVID-19 patients. How ironic, considering that Trump could have stopped the pandemic before it threatens to kill us all. His audacity is breathtaking and beyond hypocritical in light of the fact that he is devoid of humility, grief or compassion.

I echo Mr Moulton’s remarks, which accuse Trump of being a shameless, gutless coward who should be removed from office — sooner rather than later.
