Letter: Trump embarrasses supporter

By David Alton Johnson, Camas
Published: January 16, 2021, 6:00am

I am writing this letter to announce the end of my support of President Donald Trump.

He began to lose my support the night of the first presidential debate with Joe Biden. He acted so unpresidential in the debate that I was embarrassed to be a supporter.

It has only gotten worse since the election. His insistence that the election was fraudulent and rigged against him is delusional. Finally, his actions of leading an insurrection against the Capitol is unforgivable. Five people died as a result of his rhetoric. I promise to be more careful in the future as to whom I support and vote for.
