Letter: Trump’s pardon of killers is deplorable indeed

She wore her "Deplorable Me" shirt and described herself as "American Proud," Many waving American flags and holding hand-made signs expressing pleasure with the new president, supporters of Donald Trump attended a rally Saturday, March 4, 2017, on the south plaza of the state Capitol in Oklahoma City to express their solidarity with him, his administration and his policies.

I expected Donald Trump to pardon his comrades in crime, but never in my wildest dreams did I think he would show just how much of a bottom-feeder he is by pardoning four convicted killers of 17 civilian men, women and children in Iraq. How could such a loathsome person ever become president of the United States?

To Trump supporters, I believe the term “deplorables” is way too generous of a term for the kind of people you truly must be. Your continued support of Trump clearly shines a light on your lack of basic humanity, sense of justice, and yes, your innate cruelty,
