Donald Trump is unfit to serve in any public office, much less as president of the United States of America.
In 2016, I remember all too well Donald Trump ranting and raving that Hillary Clinton didn’t have the strength and the stamina to be president. Now, in 2024, Trump is canceling multiple interviews because he’s exhausted. He’s old and he’s tired — but he’s also a liar. He’s too tired for some tough interviews, but he’s not too tired to go on “Fox and Friends.”
As an aged senior citizen, he should release his medical records. But he’s afraid to release them. What is he hiding? He’s 78 years old, he’s very overweight (obese?), he rambles and he frequently loses his train of thought (is senility creeping in?). Kamala Harris just turned 60, and she is fit and as sharp as a tack.
Trump’s shameful display at this year’s Al Smith Dinner made me cringe. Cardinal Dolan should be ashamed of himself for laughing along with Trump and normalizing him. Trump broke from tradition, as he did in 2016. Once again, he was vicious in attacking his Democratic opponents, and not a whiff of good-natured humor nor any humility or self-deprecation.
His generals (Mark Milley, James Mattis and John Kelly) all say that Trump is the biggest threat to our country.
Let’s turn the page on Trump and his divisiveness. Let’s start anew with a focus on truth, facts and bipartisan problem-solving.
I’m calling voters in Pennsylvania, a key swing state. If you want to volunteer to help elect Kamala Harris, go to events.democrats.org.
As Tim Walz says: “We can rest when we are dead.”

Who's More BipartisanLike many Americans, I am disturbed by the lack of bipartisanship in Congress. Without true bipartisanship we won’t have the mutual listening and compromise that is necessary to have a workable government. This has not gone unnoticed by our local...
Think StrategicallyAn important financial issue facing Congressional District 1 voters is the possible full restoration of the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction, which offsets federal tax liability. That tax deduction is now capped at $10,000. From ny.gov: “Under the Trump...

Opposes IncreaseI am opposed to the small increase in the sales tax for two reasons: It is the most regressive type of taxation and continues a practice of small increases that should be ended. There is no sequester of tax proceeds...

Not Too LateEarly voting begins this weekend in Suffolk County. There are many conservative-leaning voters and Republican-identified voters who will go to the polls and feel either a desire or an obligation to vote the party ticket. What I am asking of...
Politics as EntertainmentI agree with Rosalyn Jennings [“No Lecture,” Letters, October 17], and her friends, that Kamala Harris can come off sometimes as “lecturing” and that she can sometimes falter under the fairly weighty subjects she is addressing. She is educated, rational...
