Letter: Trump comments are beyond the pale
Donald Trump said his video was just locker room talk. I have played team sports. As a younger person, I played semi-pro hockey (same level as Tri-City Americans), also baseball and football. Later as a pilot in the Air Force, I played and coached hockey also played football.
All players and pilots were from varied backgrounds, but all decent regular guys. There was no Trump talk in any locker room or in the hangar. It was just fun and business. The disgusting things Trump has said about his opponents in the Republican primary and now Hillary Clinton are beyond the pale.
I believe he must have been looking in a mirror and describing himself. Even then he said the primaries were rigged. Trump is really a weak, desperate, little man with low self-esteem, but also extremely dangerous. He is lying, misrepresenting, twisting the truth and facts. He is creating anger and mistrust.
Most Trump supporters are really good people. We are a democracy, we have elections, we have disagreements. We vote. I did not vote for President George W. Bush, but when he won I wanted him to be successful, so that the country would be a better place. This post-election worries me.
