Sad State of the Union: President stresses division
Re: “State of the Union: Trump tries to calm economic jitters before midterm election,” Feb. 25 news story
I never thought I would see the day when demeaning insults would result in a standing ovation. The State of the Union address changed all of that for me. Pointing at the Democrats, the president said, “These people are crazy!” The vice president and speaker of the House smiled, laughed and rose to their feet, applauding with many in the gallery. That has got to be one of the most despicable displays I’ve ever seen by people representing our nation. I am deeply saddened that politics has devolved into this.

America’s strength is our people. President Donald Trump, in his State of the Union address, undermined that strength. Over and over in opportunities for collaboration, he created blame, shame and division. Stronger together — that means listening and working together.

Is it wise, Rep. Evans, to align with this administration?
Re: “Trump’s State of the Union is strong as he delivers safety to Colorado,” Feb. 25 commentary
Having read Rep. Gabe Evans’s defense of the administration’s actions on Wednesday’s Post Opinion page, I seriously wonder if this is a wise tack for a gentleman seeking re-election in a district that I understand to be more unpredictable than the 5th Congressional District, where I live.
Living in Colorado Springs, I cannot bear witness to the fine decisions you have (or have not) made for your constituents in northern Colorado. Think first of your district!
Rushing to defend this administration, with its victim-persecutor-rescuer rambling, I’d recommend you make a case for yourself, how you internalize and wish to implement the finer ideals that Republicans have stood for in the past, well before this administration. Don’t seek to run your re-election campaign by touting any so-called successes of this administration — run on your own!

Commentary from Peña provides needed insight
Re: “Why ICE should target lawbreaking employers,” Feb. 20 commentary and “Wanna bet the commission’s move will benefit the Trumps?” Feb. 20 letter to the editor
Thank you, Federico Peña, for pointing out that employers of non-citizen immigrants should be the ones who suffer penalties for breaking the law, rather than immigrants who work and are paid less for their labor than they otherwise would be. Without those jobs many would not come here. And, with more expensive labor, prices would rise. The general public pays more for goods and services without the cheap labor of immigrants.
Also, kudos to Dan Danbom for pointing out the large sums of money that will line the president’s pocket with his prediction-market scheme. Without a doubt, Trump is No. 1 among his predecessors in raking in money from the presidency.
