Trump only in it for himself
The letter (“Trump the man to make government more efficient,” Readers Write, Dec. 25), is indicative of the perception millions of people have about Donald Trump. Obviously, they don’t remember that he filed for bankruptcy on four occasions, ruining many subcontractors by not honoring his contractual agreements. They have never heard of Trump Aviation, because it never got off of the ground. Bet they don’t have a bottle of Trump Wine on the shelf. Trump University was so fraudulent and so many people filed lawsuits against it, that it was shuttered.
He has grandiose ideas that fail, and he is not wise enough to operate a successful business; he has merely enriched himself by using tax loopholes, so he hasn’t paid his fair share for years. Now he wants corporations to get tax cuts, which will continue to enrich him.
He is indeed a businessman and has one goal … to make money for himself. It benefited him to outsource his products, but now he wants to institute tax breaks to bring businesses home.
I surely hope everyone will benefit during the next four years, but with Trump’s track record, I highly doubt it.

Bookman prefers words over actions
“…I believe Trump is a bad man.” Bookman sounds childlike in his description of Trump in (“Be willing to lose to keep freedoms,” Opinion, Dec. 25). Bookman is the one who should be willing to lose to keep freedoms. The voters have chosen to keep another liberal out of office in order to avoid losing our place as a respected nation among the world community. And Obama’s refusal to place a U.N. veto on condemning Israel is another sign of our weakness in supporting our only friend in the Mideast. Bookman supports high-sounding words and positions by our government rather than quick responses to those who would weaken us in any way possible. I consider Clinton’s loss to be our greatest gift of the Christmas season.
