Letter: Congress, Trump remind reader of Li’l Abner

Watching Congress and the president in action takes me back to my youth, when I avidly read Al Capp’s satirical comic strip Li’l Abner.

I’m seeing a live performance with Congress playing Senator Phogbound and President Trump doing an absolutely perfect performance as General Bullmoose. “What’s good for General Bullmoose is good for the USA.” Go Tweety Bird!
