To the editor:
How stupid does one have to be to believe Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s statement, “Yes, they (the Democrats) can control the weather. It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.” “Stupid" is what President Joe Biden called Greene’s ludicrous lies that go beyond Chicken Little’s warning that “The sky is falling.”
If anyone believes Greene, they are loyal members of the Trump cult who believe anything Trump or his acolytes tell them, no matter how crazy it is.
Donald Trump is using the last few weeks before the election to promote lies and disinformation relating to the huge hurricane relief effort in the wake of Hurricane Helene. Trump’s lies are dangerous and cruel, and graphically display his hypocritical use of projection. For instance, in 2019, Trump moved $150 million targeted for FEMA to support his horrific immigration enforcement.
Among Trump’s lies are that flood victims’ property has been confiscated, that victims of the hurricanes will only receive $750, that there is anti-Republican bias in the response to North Carolina, and that Kamala Harris has spent all of her FEMA money on illegal immigrants she expects will vote for her.
Biden has called Trump’s lies bizarre and un-American, and in response to a reporter’s question whether he has asked Trump to stop the lies, he said, “Are you serious?”
Trump’s mental and verbal gaffes have increased in pace with his lies. He is unfit for the presidency. The legitimate media should stop treating Donald Trump as if he were a respectable candidate for public office.
