Letter: We are better than this

Really? Israel is barring duly elected members of Congress, American citizens, from visiting their country (“Israel bars two U.S. congresswomen with a nudge from Trump,” Aug. 16, Associated Press)? Maybe we should rethink the billions in aid we provide to them. Israel should be ashamed of bowing to Trump’s political pressure.

God bless these United States, already great, and which will get greater once Trump is out of office and indicted for the corruption, dirty dealings, paying off hookers, and bad-mouthing women of color, American citizens, war vets (John McCain comes to mind) and others who don’t agree with his racial rants.

We are better than this.
