Letter: Trump’s behavior is clownish, unreal

By Gerald R. Johnson, Washougal
Published: August 22, 2019, 6:00am

What kind of a clueless clown would flash a big grin and make a thumbs-up gesture while posing for pictures with a 2-month-old orphan whose parents had just been slain in a mass shooting? That clown would be President Donald J. Trump, of course. No surprise here. You’d think he went to visit El Paso merely to honor a local civic leader or a big campaign donor, given the odd behavior. Unreal.
