Letter: Imagine Trump with US power at his fingertips
Op-Ed · October 27, 2016


Grotesquely maniacal Donald Trump in face of his perverted ways being subject to rejection by the American electorate excuses himself as being victim of our democratic elections being rigged by everyone against him.


All along in this presidential campaign and most pointedly in the last debate Trump has displayed a total lack of decency, concern for the welfare of anyone but himself, and a willingness to reject the will of we people expressed through our right to vote in secret ballot. Such leaves all with justifiable concern for our lives, that of those we care for most deeply, and the places we call home getting painted in a post-election stench of Trump having gained total power over us all.

What is to stop him when all federal agencies of the law, investigation, security, military and secret service are in the hands of men that are beholding to him and he has further backing by private warriors of the NRA? In the afternoon on public radio prior to the last debate Ralph Nader dismissed the threat by contending that a Republican led Congress would impeach Trump. Given that by the time of the launching of any impeachment proceedings the enforcing powers of all of the foregoing agencies are by Trump appointment in the hands of his loyalists, who in a snowball’s chance in the bonfire of the vanities are they going to send to bring Donald in, Barney Fife?
