Trump, although crude at times, shows concern for all Americans

Editor:

Thank you for publishing my letter to Governor Hochul, and Mr. Ballard’s rather sparky reply. It seems this topic has struck a nerve.

The whole point of the letter was to point out to our sitting Governor an opportunity for trying to establish a better relationship with the President and the federals was available, and missed completely. This is a shame.

When offering an opinion, it is very easy to feel very hurt when someone disagrees, but that is the nature of opinion, isn’t it?

When a leader misses an opportunity to speak for all New Yorkers, not just their supporters, this does a disservice to all.

Yes. Our President can be crude, and rude. Guess what? He is a New Yorker. Does he like to make up nicknames for others, some derogatory? Guess what? He is a New Yorker. Has his message to the people been he is concerned for all Americans – yes. His record stands for itself.

Again, thanks for publishing the letter. I hope this and others may cause many to at least stop and consider what is expected of elected officials at all levels of government.

Sincerely yours,

Charles R. Kinsey
