Letter: Sad that man as ignorant as Trump is his party’s choice for president
Sad that man as ignorant as Trump is his party’s choice for president
Donald Trump recently stated he respected Saddam Hussein because he was tough on terrorism. Perhaps Donald was not aware that the so-called terrorists were Iraqi citizens protesting against government brutality and their lack of a democratic voice in their country.
It truly is sad that a man this ignorant is his party’s choice for president. It should be noted, however, that the destruction of the Iraqi government and military by United States forces destabilized the region, resulting in the emergence of ISIS as a major player.
