Dale Perry’s letter (Our Readers’ Views, July 24) brought to mind that “There is none so blind as he who will not see.” When nominated, Trump promised many things would happen “very quickly” once he took office. Six months in, let us review:
• A Mexican-paid wall along our southern border;
• Removal of all “bad” illegals;
• Rebuilding of our deteriorating infrastructure;
• Marvelous health care for everyone;
• Economic growth that would make us “tired of winning;”
• A “draining of the swamp” completely ending “politics as usual.”
What a wonderful list of accomplishments this would be if even one thing here had actually been done, but Trump has done absolutely nothing as promised. But it’s not his fault. The blame goes to Democrats, disloyal Republicans, the media, anyone or anything but Trump himself.
Recall the grade-school snob named pitcher only because his dad owned the team, who could not throw the ball all the way from the pitcher’s mound to home plate, and who blamed this failure on the catcher, the ball, or that the sun was in his eyes? That is what we have now, destroying our reputation on the world stage.
And no mistake, anyone putting “America first” does not kiss up to Russia.
Angry his extensive Russian contacts are surfacing, Trump Junior said he “can’t wait for these four years to be over.” A majority of Americans agree.
