To the editor: It’s tough to say which of President Trump’s actions within the final month has been essentially the most offensive. Permitting Elon Musk entry to residents’ personal info was surprising, however the saddest and most offensive deed of all needs to be his assertion that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky started the war with Russia when the whole world knows otherwise.
For 3 years, we’ve been following the tragic losses of life and property in Ukraine, praying that the carnage and Russian aggression would cease.
Ukraine is a rustic that dared to behave independently, endeavoring to enter into Western alliances — a objective that introduced with it untold sacrifice and tragedy. That Trump would fabricate a unique narrative, even going to date to say that Zelensky’s approval ranking was at 4% (when in actuality it’s above 50%, greater than Trump’s), is an insult to the intelligence of Individuals in addition to the watchful allies of Ukraine in Europe.

To the editor: Trump blaming the beginning of the Ukrainian-Russian struggle on Zelensky is rather a lot like blaming slaves for slavery or perhaps saying rape victims have to be higher behaved.
It’s so silly that it’s past laughable, and it demonstrates for the umpteenth time that the person within the White Home will say absolutely anything (aside from “I’m sorry” or “I used to be mistaken”).
Much more weird? There are individuals so unsophisticated that they’ll imagine something that comes out of the mouth of a pathological liar.
Subsequent, Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will blame the struggle on DEI.

To the editor: We’re lacking what will be the important causal ingredient of Trump’s animosity towards Ukraine — Zelensky’s refusal in 2019 to dig up grime on Hunter Biden.
That, together with Trump’s well-documented thirst for revenge in opposition to any private slight or refusal to do his bidding, is totally ample to clarify why he’s now desperate to see Ukraine disappear down the maw of the Russian bear.
Trump’s bromance with fellow autocrat Putin is mere icing on the cake.
