Editor,

Being inspired by Ted Koppel in his interview on “CBS Sunday Morning” on June 7, I took notes. I think these notes reflect things we should each reflect upon and be encouraged to publically share over and over. 

President Donald Trump has changed the image of America. Over the years, the world has depended upon the United States of America to think, speak, and act in accordance with our democratic principles and a Constitution built upon freedom and power of the people. Many now feel that our leader has turned his back, not only on his own nation, but also on the rest of the world.    

We have lost the trust of most of our friends. We have lost our idealism. Koppel said, “We have become a flawed democracy. Many think that the American century has passed. It is said that all great powers are eventually replaced. I am not giving up as yet.”     

President Donald Trump has changed the image of America. It is time to repair our tarnished image.
