To the editor: On Dec. 17, the president claimed in an address to the nation that he “fights for the law-abiding, hard-working individuals of our nation. Those who make this nation run, who make this nation work.”
He positive has a humorous manner of displaying it: releasing from jail a convicted fraudster who swindled hundreds of thousands of {dollars} from these very hard-working Individuals (“‘Betrayed’: Investors grapple with Trump commuting sentence of man who defrauded them,” Dec. 18). Pardoning the former president of Honduras, convicted of drug trafficking and associated weapons offenses. Pardoning tons of of Jan. 6, 2021, rioters who stormed our nation’s capital in an try and overthrow an election. And pardoning or commuting the sentences of countless other convicted criminals and fraudsters.
It jogs my memory of the outdated proverb, “Birds of a feather flock collectively.”

To the editor: The actual shock right here is that a few of these buyers have been shocked. Have been they not conscious of how low our president can stoop?
Commuting the sentence of a person who was convicted of defrauding hard-working individuals out of greater than $1 billion looks as if simply one other odd day at this White Home. I perceive the grief of those victims, however positively not their shock.
