I read the letter. It appears that Trump is merely a racist Islamophobe who is destroying America’s alliances and the environment, tearing families apart and putting brown children in cages, encouraging violence and domestic terrorism, and enriching himself and the rest of the country’s wealthiest at the expense of everyone else.
