Sir,
In the September 11 edition of the Diss Express, I was amazed to find Steve Britt arguing that because Donald Trump is a free-trader who hasn’t started any wars, he is a good bet to continue as US president.
So being a lying, racist, misogynist chancer who has consistently stoked racial tension, destroyed environmental protections, gutted government social and environmental protection agencies, supported right-wing murderers, separated migrant children from their parents, pardoned his crooked associates when they’re caught, undermined international co-operative structures while fawning over dictators like Putin and Xi, run his administration as a family ‘n’ friends franchise and presided over nearly 200,000 Covid-19 deaths while pretending there’s no problem counts for nothing, does it?
Mr Britt claims that it ‘is not a clear-cut issue’. Yes it is. Trump is a dangerous monster and the sooner the American voters realise it, the safer we’ll all be.
It just shows that nowadays you can believe whatever version of the truth you like, however illogical and destructive your version might be.
