Letter to the editor
Editor, Here we go America, once again Trump exceeds his limits and authority. He steps on the Constitution and has his way despite the law. As do his stooges (Noem, Bondi, Hegseth) who also lie and steal, such as Noem who leases a luxury jet at taxpayer expense and wants us to buy at $10 million. Now then here at home our Republican lawmakers will not attend a town hall meeting. Janice Bowling refuses to attend so she won’t have to answer questions. Marsha Blackburn does the same thing and wants to be the governor to further her hero Trump and his plans. And as an illegal war rages, soon we may see our family members involved. It will be us not the wealthy kids who go to war, you know Trump’s kids and his friends won’t go. Fact check all I say America.
