President Donald Trump has been subjected to ridicule after claiming that the United States Army defended airports during the American Revolution.

We have a president whose knowledge of our nation is embarrassing. To say he is unqualified would be a gross understatement.
Once again it appears President Donald Trump intends to push forward with his almost unnatural obsession to arrest and deport undocumented immigrants.
In the meantime, we continue to read about people, particularly children, in cages (an inhumane act, no matter what the Fox commentators say) and people being detained and denied their right to due process. And we still have to hear about why this is necessary because these people represent drug dealers, rapists, etc.
Meanwhile as time drags on, trade negotiations with China appear to be stalled and over time could lead to higher prices in many areas for the American consumer.
The litany of Trump’s failings could go on and on.
We have a president whose knowledge and history of our nation is embarrassing, to say the least. To say he is unqualified to be president is also a gross understatement.
Unfortunately, he is driven by his own perceptions and opinions and surrounds himself only with others who agree with him. It will be interesting to see what historians say about this presidency 30 years from now.

Stick to the facts when it comes to border crisis
Marlen Garcia insulted a huge group of your readers when she wrote in her column about the census that “too many Republican want only white Americans to have a voice.”
Comments like that promote exactly the kind of “division” she would like to see gone. Be assured, radical opinions, rather than facts, won’t be the cure for the immigration “problems” we face on a massive level.

Trump administration and his supporters are hypocrites
President Donald Trump recently tweeted that people should love this country or leave it, and his supporters agreed.
What does that statement even mean?
As I understand Trump’s point, he’s saying “agree with everything I do and say, or get out.” Not only is that the exact opposite view on which this country was founded, but it’s also another cog in the wheel of hypocrisy Trump supporters have been building since day one of his administration.
I cannot remember a mass exodus of Trump supporters on the day Obamacare became the law, or on the day President Barack Obama signed the Iran Nuclear Deal, or on the day the United States agreed to the Paris Climate Agreement.
I am going to side with our Founding Fathers and stick around to fight the tyranny I see every day in this country that I love.
