Elites go to extremes attacking Trump

The letter-writer’s elongated denigrations of U.S. President Donald Trump epitomize the extremes that are coming from the intellectual elite.

If the Paris visit brings any French metaphorical events to mind, it is the revolutionary collapse of the U.S. Democrats. Has the writer forgotten Hillary Clinton’s self-inflicted ride in the tumbrel and whose head rolled into the basket?

Today’s mobs do not seem to care how much a president polishes his ego, if results are forthcoming to their benefit.

Compare our dynastic leader’s accomplishments in office and measure his glitter against the hard realities of our diminished economic prospects.

We should forget Paris and the circus antics and take a good look in the mirror at home.
