I would like to ask Mr. Schutt (WHT letter to the editor, “Grab your seat and hold on”) if he might be willing to give a little information on his claims that the president is unfit to be in office. I am going to guess that 50,000 mental health professionals did not interview President Trump. Therefore, I assume that 50,000 are guessing on their part just by what they see on TV.

A few questions, sir:

What presidential qualifications are we talking about?

What qualifications do these mental health professionals have, as in education and experience to judge qualifications for the President of the United States?

To make claims of nuclear war is a very serious charge and to make them deserves a little more information. Please do not fear monger, sir. The liberals are already scared to death. I do absolutely agree with your calling out both Republicans and Democrats. These two parties have run the country forever, that is why we are here today. They are splitting our country with both sides fear mongering and getting the fear vote, i.e., you will lose all your guns, you will lose your right to an abortion. I could go on forever.

Almost all letters to the editor here are of people complaining. Not much aloha coming through. It is very sad to see the situation we are in. I would like to challenge some letters to be positive. There are way more good things in this world than bad. Let’s see if we can focus on the things we have instead of what we don’t. Otherwise, we are in a very downward spiral that might be hard to get out of. Peace to all. Republicans and Democrats. Let’s try to get along. A happy medium is needed. You can’t always take, some giving needs to be involved. Thank you for your time.
