Trump doesn’t care about our suffering
To the Editor:
The other day, while driving to a golf outing, President Donald Trump demonstrated a callous disregard for the suffering his tariffs have inflicted on hundreds of millions of Americans, whose interests he was elected to champion and protect.
On Truth Social, Trump posted an insulting message to average Americans who are retired on fixed incomes, financially insecure, sick, working two jobs, in debt and trying to raise families on minimum wage: “ONLY THE WEAK WILL FAIL!”
In response to the historic plunge in the stock market that has ensued from his reckless tariffs, he posted: “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GET RICH, RICHER THAN EVER BEFORE!!!”
This is our President who is openly disdainful of the average American people. His unchecked policies are rendering us financially weaker and more vulnerable to the political whims of an amoral government.
I am joined by an increasing number of decent people who want this man and his cadre of sycophants removed and imprisoned.
