For the thousandth time, President Trump is not a dictator wannabe. I am not sure how any sane person can come to that conclusion, when in the past we’ve had presidents who abused their powers unlike the current president. In 1917, President Wilson imprisoned over 5,000 who spoke out against the war or in pro-German support. In 1942, President Roosevelt moved Japanese-Americans to internment camps. During his first term as president, Barrack Obama went after nonprofit conservative groups by weaponizing the IRS.

President Trump has done nothing even close to what these three examples have done. The border is a crisis. If you turn off CNN, MSNBC and watch Nat Geo’s border shows you can see it’s been a crisis for many years. Maybe the writer of the last letter who wrote of President Trump’s dictator desires needs to go back to school, or a local library. Knowledge is power.
