I read Frans Bicker Caarten’s guest editorial with disgust as he implied that the Republicans are fabricating the decline and mental state of President Biden. Really? Did he not listen to the president’s recent NATO presser introducing Ukraine President Zelensky as President Putin and Trump as his vice president? Why did the prime minster of Italy have to take President Biden’s arm to lead him away from field to meeting?

The only fabrication is what Mr. Caarten wants to fabricate.

Does Mr. Caarten and people of his same political persuasion not go grocery shopping, see the crime escalating in this country (there was a killing in Newport Beach, California, a couple of weeks ago where a woman was thrown in the street and run over and killed because they wouldn’t give them a watch and shopping bags, thugs who had records; and Chicago with over 100 shootings and 17 dead over the Fourth), price of gas, border wide open, wars, etc. 

Under Trump, whom he accuses of being a loose cannon, who I believe had this country proud of itself again with low inflation, producing its own gasoline, low border crossings, crime low, no wars.

Trump is not a perfect person, but he is for America and not for himself. Biden is for Biden. He talks the talk but doesn’t fulfill. I think America is at its lowest point due to Biden with inflation, high crime, education at the lowest point, wars, etc.

I am a little tired of Biden talking about accountability and democracy — He doesn’t even to know what they mean. That’s the fabrication, Mr. Caarten. Open your eyes, as America is almost a Third World country.
