Donald Trump's Paranoid Vision — Letters that should have been in the new york times

4.4.25

To the editor:

Donald Trump is dangerous - a weak man with a lot of power. His decision making - whether it involves hitting our allies with exorbitant tariffs or firing competent government officials - is not governed by sophisticated or nuanced assessments of complex issues. Rather, his vision of reality is a paranoid one where threat (real and imagined) looms large and so he seeks to dismantle the very structures that otherwise constrain him. He is not going to change. The Republicans in Congress are functioning more as passive bystanders than an independent branch of government. This group dynamic, borne of fear of retribution, must be recognized, confronted, and overcome if our country is to be saved. It is long overdue for the bystanders in Congress to stage an intervention and fulfill their constitutional responsibilities.

Respectfully,
