Letter: Nixon comparisons are too kind

Published 12:00 am Tuesday, March 25, 2025

I don’t recognize President Trump. We thought he had some good ideas, however now I hear people comparing him to President Nixon. That is too kind. I’m beginning to think we should instead compare him to the former president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte. President Duterte ruled according to his own rules, rounding up criminals and killing them without trials. Please President Trump, tell me that it ain’t so. Surely Trump has respect for our government which created this great country. Or I could also add other governments in different countries where we are intricately connected.

Please President Trump, please those politicians who support him; what’s going on?
