I am no Donald Trump fan, but Tom DeBor’s letter belittling his morals and use of sarcasm, employing sarcasm itself, made me chuckle [“What to believe?” Northwest Voices, Aug. 15]. Hillary Clinton’s words themselves ring hollow given her track record over the years.
Richard Nixon was forced to resign for an 18½-minute gap in a recorded conversation. Clinton and her deletion of thousands of emails on her private server seems to get a pass from the press and her party. Other issues include the smokescreen over Benghazi, the now unstable Egypt, the rise of the Islamic State, her pledge to win (back) the working class in America — a Democratic stronghold traditionally — her $10 million statement of poverty on her tax return.

Sure Trump suffers from “hoof in mouth” disease and eschews political correctness, but he calls it as it is. Sarcasm is part of Trump’s appeal, and I would rather hear that than prevarication, obfuscation and deception.
