Letter: In response to Craig Strong’s letter in the February 21st edition:

Craig, take it easy on poor old Mr. Trump. Surely you know that he has been diagnosed with a rare mental disorder; it is called Messiah Syndrome. This poor affected man thinks anything he says or does are likened to the words or actions of the almighty! And he won’t be held responsible.

Hopefully, help is on the way. We have judges and juries that can solve his problems, not psychiatrists. I’m sure they will see that he gets several doses of reality. They will prescribe jail and prison time as therapy which may not cure his affliction but will keep him out of our political hair for a while. And let the Republican Party rebuild itself into a credible political system.

Unfortunately, in the coming election, some votes will be cast not to elect who you think is the best candidate, but in some cases to minimize the chance of the opposing candidate winning.

I will say in closing: if Donald Trump wins the 2024 general election, I am moving! I am moving to Mars because even the Moon is too close to a planet where a majority of voters want a criminal to be our president and ruin our country.
