Letter to the editor: Trump’s sarcasm equal to contempt

To the editor:
When Trump was confronted by MAGA followers with his promise to end the war in Ukraine on his first day or even before he was elected, he scoffed and said it was just sarcasm.
The definition of “sarcasm” is to mock or convey contempt.
That is what he has been doing to MAGA followers and everyone else. All his promises that aren’t realized, and his audicious rants to take Iceland, the Panama Canal and even to deport US citizens he doesn’t feel are loyal, he is conveying contempt.
He shows that contempt openly to his followers when they show concern about the pedophiles in the Epstein case because he is embedded in the files and wants to move away from the fact he has a sexual attraction to prepubescent children. So, he mocks them as stupid for falling for what he makes up as a Democrat hoax which he hopes will turn people away from facts.
As Hemingway put it so eloquently “Ask not for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”
Wake up MAGA.
