Letter: Trump no match for Buttigieg

By Robert E. Dingethal, Ridgefield
Published: February 15, 2020, 6:00am

Now that Trump has been freed from all constraints by the gutless Republicans, and considering the results of the Iowa caucus, Trump will no doubt begin an all-out assault of Pete Buttigieg. Trump will ridicule Buttigieg’s height, diminish his military combat experience, disparage his intellect and use thinly veiled homophobic invective to fire up his base.

These are typical “punk” tactics. Pete would thrash Donald, Eric and Donny Jr. in a fist fight or a battle of wits without losing the crease in his pants.
