To the editor:

(President Trump) is again stirring the proverbial pot to deflect from his lack of transparency about anything he’s done for the past thirty years. This time, he has apparently given the OK to an inept Robert Kennedy to pull back the funding for vaccine research. All while there comes an unending stream of television commercials apparently nationwide, to encourage parents to get their children vaccinated before beginning any sort of pre-school or kindergarten in order to avoid ever spreading cases of measles and other diseases which were thought to be eradicated.

Undoubtedly, the money saved in this instance will be offset by spending a billion dollars to retrofit (Trump’s) plane, a “white elephant” gift from Qatar, and to redecorate a ballroom in the White House at a cost of a paltry 200 million.

Oh yes, and once and for all, there is no Epstein list and even if there is, Trump isn’t on it.
