Tweet shows that Trump is unfit

To the Editor:

After reading that this is Newspaper Week in the U.S., I happened to see an article about a Twitter “tweet” from someone who seems to advocate murdering journalists. I saw it in an article showing that the man occupying the White House re-tweeted it to his 15 million-plus Twitter followers.

I hope that all professional associations of journalists will address this execrable behavior by Donald Trump as well as his fan who posted it in the first place.

Every day we awaken to moral outrages worse than the day before. When will this national nightmare be ended by impeachment or the 25th Amendment, Section 2, removing that mentally ill person from Washington?
