Opinion: From a scandal-free admistration to, well, who knows what’s next?

To the editor: When Trump says that “nobody cares” about his tax returns, he gets it half right. Or, rather, 46% right.

He is probably correct that the people who voted for him do not care about his taxes, though I bet that number is smaller than he’d like to think.

When he makes sweeping generalizations and ridiculous overstatements like he did in his press conference or my favorite from the debates that “nobody respects women more than I do,” he fails to acknowledge those of us who actually do care and are women.

(“Trump says he will not divest,” Jan. 12 and “At war with all sides, and no plan to change course, Analysis, Jan. 12)

If he can’t acknowledge us, how can he hope to function as President of the United States?

To the editor: Donald Trump created fake news during his campaign.

His audiences were hard wired to believe that Hillary Clinton was corrupt, the most corrupt possible.

Well, turnabout is fair play.

I hope continued wild accusations about him keep coming. An audacious liar, he deserves what he gets from the press.

To the editor: I must applaud The Times and other liberal press for the excellent support to Russia, China, Iran, etc.

I’m sure they are jumping for joy at the liberal press’ fantastic job at creating turmoil in the U.S.

There should be an award for who is the best in stupidity. Shame on you anti-Americans.

To the editor: We’ve just suffered through eight years of a scandal-free administration.

It’s a breath of fresh air to have an incoming administration so replete with scandal even before being sworn in that we should all be grateful.

We need a change of pace, and Trump, along with his nominees, is giving it to us. It’s just so wonderful, but very hard to keep up with it all.
