Editor,

When you have a president whose mental disorder overwhelms every good governing instinct, that nation has problems. I suppose it works in some forms of government, but in the United States, a democracy, no way. 

What confounds me is how the media attempts to make news out of practically every word, tweet, utterance and move Donald Trump makes. This is not news. This is nothing worthy of professional news coverage.  And it certainly is not new and unusual. 

Can’t our creative news organizations find something to talk about other than Trump and his behavior and demeanor? He will not change. His compulsion for personal attention, in whatever form it takes, will continue. We cannot make any sense out of it in relation to normal presidential duties, responsibilities and conduct. 

So I say, let’s get on with it; let’s get a change of leadership; and let’s move from that change to the most important change of all: to begin bringing our political parties together.
