America deserves better than the campaign being conducted by Donald Trump.
His blathering is painful to the ears, filling the air with noise, not policy. He claims to be the maven to solve our immigration problem, but he stopped a Republican initiative in Congress that would have addressed it (he wanted to campaign on it).
He brags about what he’ll do for the economy, but his solutions will make life more expensive for the middle class. His companies have filed for business bankruptcy six times. He can’t discuss foreign policy, because his love of Putin doesn’t square with how Americans feel about Russia’s dictator and his destruction of Ukraine.
Trump recently proclaimed himself better-looking than Kamala Harris. He still thinks he’s a sex symbol. He’s in the wrong race. He should run for governor of the state of Delusion.

Better off under Trump
I found it funny that the letter writer Rosemary Blumberg of Plantation said Republicans are always outraged.
Anyone who believes in God should have been outraged about the opening of the Olympics.
Everything written is anti-Trump. He’s the better of the two. We were much better off with Trump in office.
We now have two wars and the despicable exit from Afghanistan, not to mention the economy and the illegals that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris let in to our country.

Trump then and now
Chris Aiello (Another Viewpoint, Aug. 19) writes that he felt a “building of national unity” with Trump in office. I’m curious as to whether that feeling came about when Trump called immigrants “rapists, drug dealers and murderers.”
He writes that he constantly heard Trump brag about the economy. I’m curious as to whether he’s aware that by virtually every metric used by Trump, the economy is better now.
He writes that Trump “navigated us … into a safe harbor” during COVID. I’m curious as to whether he’s aware that Trump suggested injecting “disinfectant or powerful light” into human beings.
He doesn’t understand the “disapproval, even hatred” for Trump. For those of us aware of the facts and the litany of personal and professional dishonesty and lack of integrity that Trump has displayed his entire life, we have no hatred.
We regard those disreputable actions by him as disqualifying for elected office. It is not hatred to demand that elected officials display a modicum of integrity.

Andrew changed our lives
As we reflect on the 32nd anniversary of Hurricane Andrew devastating South Florida, we recall the destruction and damage the storm left in its path.

Dadeland mobile home park after Andrew’s devastation.
In South Florida, Andrew changed our lives forever. The anniversary serves as a reminder that this storm season, like every year, South Floridians must take early precautions and prepare for the potential of severe storms.
As individuals make hurricane preparation plans, Congress has an obligation to adequately fund NOAA and FEMA while acting on climate change, which increases the frequency and intensity of storms.
I stand with my neighbors in remembering what we all went through together during that devastating storm.

Editor’s Note: Andrew made landfall near Homestead in the predawn hours of Monday, Aug. 24, 1992.
