Dear Editor,
It seems every week there is a new problem in Washington.
We saw a national security advisor forced out of office because of his communications with Russia, a foreign power clearly hostile to American interests. Then we saw the Attorney General of the United States announce that he was ‘rescuing’ himself because he, too, had had multiple contacts with the same hostile power.
Congress, on both sides of the aisle, has begun to act as though it is ready to conduct a detailed investigation of this.

Meanwhile, the occupant of the Oval Office seems intent on launching Twitter tantrums about whatever he reads in the latest copy of the “National Enquirer” when he’s not announcing his latest deranged claims about the news media.
America is the most powerful nation on the face of the earth, and when you place that power in anyone’s hands, you can only hope the individual invested with that power is capable of at least pretending to be sane. What I fear is that we not only have someone insane in the Oval Office, we have someone occupying that august post who can’t even pretend to be sane.
But the thing that disturbs me most is the fact that there are Americans who are willing to brush all of this aside, to act as if it were nothing to worry about. I understand investing yourself in an idea, and I almost understand investing yourself in an ideology. That said, there’s no fixing crazy, and pretending it isn’t happening won’t fix it or make it go away.
American needs a seemingly sane and responsible individual to lead it, and Donald Trump clearly is neither. He must go, and go soon. I just hope that his apologists have enough self-honesty to realize they made the wrong choice and join those of us who wish to save this great nation from what is becoming increasingly clear was the worst mistake we ever made.
