To the editor: On Dec. 17, the president claimed in an deal with to the nation that he “fights for the law-abiding, hard-working individuals of our nation. Those who make this nation run, who make this nation work.”
He positive has a humorous method of exhibiting it: releasing from jail a convicted fraudster who swindled thousands and thousands of {dollars} from these very hard-working People (“‘Betrayed’: Buyers grapple with Trump commuting sentence of man who defrauded them,” Dec. 18). Pardoning the previous president of Honduras, convicted of drug trafficking and associated weapons offenses. Pardoning tons of of Jan. 6, 2021, rioters who stormed our nation’s capital in an try to overthrow an election. And pardoning or commuting the sentences of numerous different convicted criminals and fraudsters.
It jogs my memory of the previous proverb, “Birds of a feather flock collectively.”

To the editor: The true shock right here is that a few of these traders have been shocked. Had been they not conscious of how low our president can stoop?
Commuting the sentence of a person who was convicted of defrauding hard-working individuals out of greater than $1 billion looks like simply one other abnormal day at this White Home. I perceive the grief of those victims, however positively not their shock.
