Letter: Trump ignores history, sound logic

It would appear that Donald Trump has once again become confused about recent history. Accusing President Obama for being the founder of Islamic State is not only dangerously absurd but completely ignores the Status of Forces Agreement signed by Bush that called for the removal of forces from Iraq by 2011. Has he also forgotten who led in the ultimate demise of Osama Bin Laden?

Trump has become the greatest political liar of the 21st century. He can only be described as despicable, irrational, bloviating and narcissistic.

As for calling Hillary Clinton evil, a liar and crooked, all the fact-checking and investigations have turned up nothing worth noting. To insinuate that she’s interested in taking away our 2nd Amendment rights and impugning her character with vile and contemptuous demagoguery makes him the world’s King of Prevarication. Intimating that she can be stopped by gun-toting fanatics is unconscionable.

He must show us his tax returns before anyone votes. This man doesn’t have the temperament to run for dog catcher and should be soundly defeated in November.
