From Diana Vance
Monroe
To the editor:
I think the flood gates of hatred from the White House are ready to burst under the weight of opposition to President Trump's support of White Supremacists and Nazis. Important senators are calling the president's way of thinking as showing no stability. He also is losing important backers and businessmen.
I am thinking back when President Trump campaigned and a person told me she wished he would come to Monroe. She said she wanted to see the show. He was saying things that were forbidden to someone like her to say. I can only guess why she wanted to hear. Maybe it was the chanting by his audience when he riled them up to say things about Hillary Clinton like "Kill her. Kill her. Kill the bitch."
How awful. My mother came to this country from war torn Germany after WWI. It happened during those years which can make or break a child. She was 12 to 18 during that war that killed a brother and wounded another. It left her with a dream - a dream that said "I want to go to America."
My three siblings and I are so happy she met my father in Denmark who had the same dream and they did come to America. I love this country like my mother did. I did not have to go through a terrible war like she did. I can think back to my childhood of roller skating, playing "Jacks," riding my bike which was a birthday present and going to the corner store for the neighbor lady.
My father was a history buff and told us the Danish people got every Jew out of Denmark to Sweden during WWII. When the Jews had to wear the yellow star King Christian took his daily horseback ride through the streets of Copenhagen wearing a yellow star. That is leadership. That is values. President Donald Trump cannot even come close.
