TRUMP: He's a negotiator

The Mueller report concluded that there was no collusion between Trump and his campaign. Despite this, several recent letters to the editor have claimed that Trump is a Russian puppet. Why do they say this? Because they are subjective thinkers. They believe what they want to believe. If their beliefs were fact-based, why has Trump provided more military aid to the Ukraine than Obama did in eight years?

In a very recent letter, the writer claimed that Trump was a communist because he has talked to the North Koreans, the Chinese and the Russians. Perhaps he doesn’t remember that both FDR and Truman talked to Stalin, that Eisenhower talked to Khrushchev, that Nixon went to China, that Regan talked to Gorbachev, etc.

Negotiations, which sometimes fail, are better than war.
