Trump wants to be king, not president
I don’t know how anyone could still think that Mr. Donald Trump would be a good and decent president of the United States. Some still seem to think that he would make America great again. That is not his goal.
His goal is to make Trump great again. Or at least in a position of power.
If it is not obvious yet, Trump seeks power for himself, not for the power to make America a better place.
Trump wants a dynasty. He wants himself and his family to be the ruling elite of America.
Do you really think he cares about you or your rights or your environment? Do you think he will protect your right to vote or your personal freedoms? Really?
Donald seeks to have free reign over this nation. He wants to install his people into positions of power and influence so that he can control every agency and head of every department so that he and he alone can decide the fate of our nation. And his own net worth.
This man wants to be king. He does not want to follow the rules laid down in the Constitution. Nope. He wants to be above the law. He wants to be the law and completely immune from prosecution.
Why? So he can break the law with impunity.
So, dear reader, think long and hard about what that means. I guarantee that, as dictator, Trump will not have your best interests at heart.
Trump is dangerous. He wants to dismantle our nation’s constitutional government. He has already proved this by his words and deeds. His idea of a clean slate and your idea of a clean slate are not the same.
Do some reading. “Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present” by Ruth Ben-Ghiat. This book clearly shows what Trump has as his mission and goal.
I promise you will not like what he has in store for this nation. Or for you as a citizen.
You have been warned.

Kicking the can down the road
In reply to the county’s plans to fund $10 million more for the homeless: $10 million divided by the 1,000 homeless counted on this island this year is $10,000 per person.
I would like to see a well-done article by this newspaper that shows all the costs — state and county and federal — per individual that we are sinking into our homeless population.
I am assuming we would have to add welfare costs, EBT, medical and the like on top of the $10,000.
Once we know the total amount per person, I would love to see a very simple outline of how all this money will be spent by the state and county to end homelessness on this island. Sure seems to me that we just kick the can down the road and never solve the problem.
I see the same homeless people on the streets and in the bushes as I did 15 years ago when we moved here. This is not good for them and not good for the community.
Let’s actually solve this problem. I am ashamed of the current and past government for not finding a way to end homelessness.
