Letter: Trump lacks respect for all voters

So Donald Trump boycotted the last Republican debate before the Iowa caucus, and some say it was a show of strength. Give me a break. It shows that he thinks he is above everyone on being questioned for what he stands for. He lacks in being respectful toward women, the disabled, people of different faiths, and so on. Respect on these types of things is what makes someone strong, not by being a rude, bullying bigot.

Being the president of the United States takes a person who is cool-headed in making judgments that affect our country. Someone who thinks it out first before acting, not someone who is ready to push the button while yelling “you’re fired.”

I love my country and want to see it protected in every way from hostile people, but I also care about the environment. The air we breathe, the water we drink, our soil, the plant life and wildlife and human life. We need a president who cares about all of these things, not someone who gloats about how his poll numbers are.

Would you give one thought about this fool if he was not rich? He would just be another bullying bigot on the street that most people hate to be around. And the media does not help this matter.
