There are two great mysteries in the universe. The first has to do with the nature of dark matter, and the second is why the Sun keeps printing John Donegan’s pompous bullshit.
First, it was he and his political party that created the mess by enthroning one Donald J. Trump in the Oval Office. The same Trump, as you may recall, who only intended to be a dictator for a day, but it seems that autocracy has grown on him. He also promised to end the Ukraine war that same day but no such luck.
Trump also promised a booming stock market, which only went up some 70 percent during Biden’s administration. Right now, it is in free fall, so the only boom is for short sellers. He promised a quick end to inflation, and lower grocery prices, particularly eggs. Don’t hold your breath. Worse yet, he once again promised to defend and uphold the U.S. Constitution and has been trashing it ever since.
So now Donnegan is offering advice on how to deal with the mess created by his lying and incompetent leader (“The not-so-OK Corral,” April 24). It is obvious that the only real solution would be to get that nut case out of the office and possibly banish both political parties in the process. Maybe we could send them to El Salvador.
