In Response to Gail Lawton’s Letter

In response to Gail Lawton’s Letter to the Editor dated March 20,2024. To begin with, I would like to thank the Forum for publishing divergent political views.

Ms. Lawton asks me to state the good things that Trump has done. I would refer Ms. Lawton to the fourth paragraph of Zack Papachristos’ Letter to the Editor dated March 20, 2024 for a partial list the good things Donald Trump has done for this country (listing over 10). In a strange way, Ms. Lawton and I agree that it is easier to find fault in the negatives of the opposing political party candidates. I’m guilty of that. Ms. Lawton is guilty of that. Hopefully, the candidates will focus on what they will do for this country for the next four years instead of trashing the opposing candidate.

I still remain concerned that we cannot afford another four years of Joe Biden. Ignoring Joe Biden’s incompetence means that Trump haters are willing to accept Joe Biden’s open boarder policies, possibly getting us into World War III, and his financial bankrupting our country and its LEGAL citizens. “We have a housing crisis in this country, yet millions are being spent to house people who aren't American, while low income Americans go without. New York City has spent $600 million to house migrants, though its public housing residents live in squalor. ‘The city is going to put forth a ton of money for these people who aren't even citizens, but they forgot about the people who live in public housing right here,’ as one resident put it.” (Newsweek December 29, 2022) “The Biden administration wants to provide 5.7 million migrants with free medical services, food, and housing, according to government documents.” (Newsmax March 24, 2024)
