Letter: Trump’s Camp Run-Amok

Published 12:10 am Monday, July 31, 2017

Camp David, located in Maryland, was used as a retreat for many presidents to “get away from it all” and enjoy a respite from the pressing issues of the day.

FDR, Eisenhower, JFK, Carter, Nixon, Reagan, Ford, both Bushes and Obama made use of Camp David’s quiet surroundings and even hosted many visiting dignitaries from around the world. With all the problems besetting President Trump, the White House announced he’ll be spending time in Camp Run-Amok, located just a little bit south of North Carolina, where the president exclaimed “That’s where I want to be!”

There, he and his Cabinet members can feel right at home as they work on how to erode our freedoms, decimate health care and destroy our Constitution. How’s that for “Making America Great Again”?  In my humble opinion, that’s the result of electing a TV personality who is an unprepared, uninformed, confrontational egotist and totally unacceptable as a world leader.
