LETTER: Educational demonstration

Thanks to God for sending Trump to highlight the serious flaws in our political/economic system.

By Trump’s election, God has demonstrated how a charismatic demagogue can enlist a legion of discontented citizens to follow a prevaricating scam artist.

It appears that God wants us to understand that science matters.

Trump’s scoffing at climate change does not cause it to quit changing.

Trump’s assertion that the coronavirus will disappear will not make it disappear.

One wonders if God approves of the massive tax boon Trump gave multi-millionaires while the losers are those of us who actually work and pay those taxes.

By the way Trump has used the powers of his administration to install unqualified cronies in critical positions, God has revealed that loyalty to a self-serving leader results in policies at cross purposes with the public interest.

Among other deeds, these cronies have enabled Trump to hide malfeasance in his business operations as well as his political machinations.

If you don’t believe that God works in mysterious ways, just consider how this champion of law and order has rewarded his loyal cronies by pardoning those convicted of crimes against the national interest.
