Trump disregards

In his Jan. 30 letter, “Respect the POTUS,” Kurt Zoeller complained about the browbeating of the President Trump is getting.

As a candidate, and even before, Donald Trump disrespected creditors, women, opponents, POWs, the disabled, generals, Mexicans, Muslims and many other groups.

His actions since his inauguration have shown disregard for the consequences. Respect for the person must be earned — although respect for the office is a tenet of our republic.

Eric Tullberg,
