To the editor: The reply to Donald Trump’s immunity argument, which was rejected by judges within the District of Columbia Courtroom of Appeals, could be very easy.
A president takes an oath to guard and defend the Structure, which requires him to “trigger the legal guidelines to be faithfully executed.” Some events might endure damage by way of his execution of the legal guidelines; in these instances, after leaving workplace, a former president ought to be immune from prosecution for merely doing his job.
If, alternatively, these damages come from breaking the legislation, a former president ought to be topic to prosecution for not doing his job as president.
Clearly, Joe Biden received the 2020 election, and in line with the legislation of the land, he’s president. Thus, former President Trump, by way of his vociferous public denial of Biden’s legally sanctioned victory, inspired his supporters to interrupt the legislation.
Trump defied his responsibility as president.

To the editor: Trump’s marketing campaign spokesman Steven Cheung sounds as ill-informed as Trump. For him to say, “With out whole immunity, a president of america wouldn’t be capable of operate correctly,” is ridiculous, since our presidents have functioned simply high-quality with out whole immunity for greater than 200 years.
This screams fascism, the time period Trump makes use of to explain the Democratic Celebration.
The Oxford English Dictionary describes fascism as a perception within the supremacy of a nationwide or ethnic group, a contempt for democracy, an insistence on obedience to a robust chief, and a powerful demagogic method. I await the day when Oxford features a image of Trump subsequent to this definition.

To the editor: Studying all of the methods Trump is making an attempt to get his celebration’s nomination for president, I’m satisfied he has little interest in governing. As a substitute of giving his imaginative and prescient for the longer term, the previous president simply needs to play the sport and win.
There’s a number of compelling, easy reporting on the market for all voters to be taught the reality. I solely want his followers would search for these information.

To the editor: This is a notice on the fixed and insistent use of the time period “MAGA” by Democrats far and broad, together with and most prominently by President Biden – cease it!
The time period “MAGA,” an acronym of Trump’s marketing campaign slogan, performs completely into Trump’s playbook. Trump emblazoned it on hats, shirts, posters, and so forth, and Democrats’ use of it solely furthers and underscores its ugly message: that it’s the criminally indicted ex-president who’s “making America nice once more.”
“MAGA Republicans,” as Biden typically refers to them, is a praise to the Republican base that disrespects our democracy and advocates an assault on each precept we maintain sacred. Democrats aren’t serving to their very own trigger by utilizing a moniker that implies the GOP is someway enhancing our nation.
It is best to simply name them anti-People, fascists, or possibly simply “Trumplicans.”
