Ziegahn: Trump, RNC not the best fit right now
Letter To The Editor

From Kay Ziegahn

Richland Center

To the Editor:

The Republican Convention in Milwaukee was unbelievable, maybe not in the way Trump expected, but his simpering, boring acceptance speech of 90 minutes duration either put his audience to sleep, or they turned it off, way before he was done. He has repeatedly proffered tax cuts, but he neglects to say those will only be for the already rich folks who don’t need them. His tariffs against China during his Presidential term only increased both inflation and the federal debt here, and now he blames Biden for it, even when the Democrats’ economy has improved enormously over what Trump had left us with. 

Trump’s inane suggestion of using bleach as a treatment for Covid should have proved his unsuitability as President. Republicans at every level, as evidenced in Wisconsin by what they’ve done to the UW college system, try to strangle educational opportunities because they don’t want an educated electorate. Similarly, they don’t think women deserve access to abortion, even when the woman’s death would be the only alternative! Maybe they won’t be satisfied until they outlaw condoms too? 

Will Trump’s Hitler/Putin-worshiping-Project 2025 include Detention Camps, (German: Konzentrationslager), for all his perceived enemies, and not just for illegal immigrants?
