Letter to the Editor: Trump taints those around him

To the editor:

The president has businesses all over the world. One place I can name is the Philippines. That is why he will not show his taxes because it is against the constitution for a person to have businesses while serving as the president. His two sons, who are seldom far away, is where he gave his businesses to.

Another legal but troubling thing is that there are several women who want to be a U.S. Attorney. Nothing wrong with that. But President Trump made his presence known to them. There was one who wants to be the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan. Another wants to be the U.S. Attorney in Washington D.C. and the third wants to be the U.S. Attorney near Mar-a-Lago which is the president's expensive country club and golf course. Why did he fix on these three women?

I think it is possible that he taints the people around him. Why did 4-star general Kelly who is acting as his chief of staff verbally attack the congresswoman who felt what President Trump said to the mother of the Navy Seal who was killed in Niger showed no empathy.

There is the country Chad in Africa. It has been on its own fighting against terrorist groups in neighboring African countries. They are putting their soldiers in the line of fire in their desire and courage to fight these terrorist groups. President Trump has put Chad on a travel ban. Why? Because Chad was using the wrong type of paper in its passports. That sounds like Donald Jr. meeting with the Russians about adoption.

There seems to be a scandal surrounding our president. Right now in the courts is a woman who is trying to prove President Donald Trump is corrupt. She has made it her life's work to fight corruption where ever she sees it. She appeared on the Rachel Maddow show Friday night.

This country began as a great experiment in democracy. Any adversary should be called out. My definition of an adversary to our country is someone who wants to divide us, someone who is not a fair person, someone who is not truthful, someone who knows little history of our country and someone who wants to reach for the stars not for the people but for himself.
