"80 Days" Tom Denton Letter o the Editor

80 Days: Questions to Trump Voters Who Wanted to “Give Him a Chance”



  1. Did you think his early morning tweeting was merely political campaign theatrics that would disappear when it came time to govern?
  2. Did you expect him to fill his cabinet and staff with Goldman Sachs executives?
  3. Are you troubled by the fact that hate groups (neo-Nazi, white supremacist) identified by US law enforcement agencies have hailed the coming of Trump? Are you uncomfortable being associated with such groups?
  4. Does it bother you to watch TV news reports of US citizens who are verbally assaulted in stores and told to “get out,” “leave,” “go back to where you came from”? If you personally observed a similar scene, what do you imagine you would do?
  5. Did you want him to alienate our historically close allies like Great Britain and Australia and sidle up to Russia?
  6.  Do you really believe that Obama wiretapped Trump Tower, or do you accept the judgments of the FBI, Congress, and the Intelligence community?
  7. Were you expecting that the Trump/Ryan health care plan would take away insurance coverage from 24 million Americans?
  8. When you voted for Trump, did you expect that he would quickly learn on the job? Do you see evidence that he has learned?
  9. Does Trump project the kind of dignity, temperament, and compassion you’d like to see in the man who represents us?
  10. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, is it a duck?
