To the editor: It is sensible that many people are feeling the whiplash impact of the Trump administration and the day by day uncertainty which he heaps upon the world (“Trump reversals on Fed chair, China tariffs send markets higher,” April 23). Nonetheless, I believe the dissonance is additional recognized by the truth that we’re being held hostage in Trump’s chaotic thoughts.
It is a one that adjustments his thoughts with the breeze and enjoys preventing, as if it’s the very air he breathes, and who will proceed to incite fights with the higher world with the intention to present that he’s in cost. The fixed chaos that we’re experiencing is wearying to many. Although the Democratic Celebration must unite and struggle ultimately, within the meantime a crash helmet, neck brace and Dramamine might should suffice.

To the editor: President Trump’s actions could seem unpredictable, however he’s doing the identical factor that he did on Jan. 6, 2021. He stood by that day and did nothing for 3 hours within the face of all that ache and carnage. In the present day, he’s doing the identical factor: Whereas our neighbors and allies rock from threatened tariffs, as U.S. residents face steeper costs for items and groceries, because the inventory market crashes and the US’ standing on this planet sinks ever decrease, he gleefully watches from his gilded palace.

To the editor: I virtually needed to chortle once I learn that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent mentioned that America First consists of “mutual respect amongst commerce companions.” The president certainly holds no respect for our buying and selling companions who, he says repeatedly, have “been ripping us off” for years. Good luck, Bessent, in speaking sense into your blustering boss!
