Editor,

TNT, as we usually think of it, can be the cause of total destruction. TNT can also be a step toward healing a nation, as in “Trump Noose Tightens.” So, let’s use this “TNT step” to our advantage. This means that some serious and necessary work must take place within our two-party system and in the present very divisive climate in Congress.

When Donald Trump leaves the White House “in chains,” that is the chainlinks of missteps, blunders and blatant buffoonery, our government can begin functioning as a democracy once again. We have much good work to do. We have done it before, as in the Nixon administration, and we will do it again. Democracy is too open, too transparent for all to see, and too responsive to the “will of the people” to fail.

So, this is just my short and positive assessment from my own personal perspective as I digest the news.
