Letter: Trump doesn’t know when to shut up

One of Donald J. Trump’s problems is, he doesn’t know when to shut up! It is clear that when he does open his mouth, we find out more about his stupidity!

I don’t believe we’ve ever seen or heard anybody — a supposedly well-educated man — express publicly and knowingly so many lies, exaggerations and repetitive platitudes, and antagonize so many people.

Mr. Khan knows Trump very well. And he has done, in a short time, what the Republican Party seemed unable to do — expose the self-centered charlatan. Ah, the gems we have in such immigrants!

If a majority (or even a large number) of American voters express a preference for Trump for president of the United States, we have a very serious problem, and it ain’t political.

Hillary Clinton is not perfect. We can only hope she has learned from her mistakes. So far, it appears she hasn’t. But she is not Donald Trump!
