TRUMP’S THE ONE
In response to a plethora of Trump bashing letters to the editor of local Queens newspapers, especially those printed in the Queens Chronicle, firing back I wrote the following, which was published in this week’s issue:

Dear Editor:
Recent letters have witnessed the usual suspects maligning the Republican Party and its presidential candidate, who represents the leadership that America needs in a time of peril, to bring back jobs, opportunity, hope, optimism, prosperity and safety to a nation embroiled in conflict and division.
A police protest in Dallas, Texas ended with the murder of five Dallas police officers and the wounding of seven others. There are many cities across the country where there were protests over the deaths of two black men in Louisiana and Minnesota by police officers. In my view two wrongs don’t make a right. The young man who did the killing was apparently consumed by bigotry and hate and let his gun do the talking about what he perceived was justice against innocent police officers who were only trying to keep the peace. In my opinion hate is not the answer and does not address the injustices many people of color feel.
