Trump may be right on one thing: Meghan Markle – letter

IT is reported that Meghan Markle is puzzled that we call her Markle when she says her name is now “Sussex”.

The Press reported Harry being allowed to remain in the States, in spite of confessing his drug use.

Thank goodness it spares us the woman The Washington Post reported Mr Trump as saying was dreadful.

The President is not always wrong.

President is ‘morally, spiritually and intellectually bankrupt’

I AGREE with every word that Christian Vassie wrote about president Donald Trump (Letters, Press, March 4).

The man is morally, spiritually and intellectually bankrupt.

This is not just my opinion. It is that of Trump’s niece, Mary Trump. She has published a history of the Trump family called, ‘Too Much, and Never Enough.’

In it she outlines the toxic history of the Trump family. Trump’s father taught his son two things; never to appear weak or to be a loser.

These appear to be the constants in an otherwise mercurial man.

I suspect that Trump, in his infamous interview with Zelensky in the Oval Office, felt that he had to shout in order to avoid looking weak.

Trump and Zelensky met in order to reach a deal about Ukrainian minerals. Trump prides himself on being a deal-maker. Indeed, he has published a book called, ‘The Art of the Deal.’ But shouting and alienating people is no way to reach a deal.

Mary Trump’s book would be libellous if any part of it could be shown to be untrue. But its publisher, a respected American firm, appear to have published the book in the belief that its contents are libel-proof, because they are true.

Donald Trump must have known about the book, but took no action because he did not care about those most likely to read the book.

Trump as dangerous at Putin

WELL done Ann Cruikshank, your letter (Saturday, March 1) was spot on.

Greedy old Trump! What a way to treat a guest and a very brave one at that. President Zelensky was invited to leave Ukraine at the start of the war and he chose to stay put.

If I was an American I would be extremely ashamed and embarrassed with Trump’s behaviour and that of the ghastly JD Vance. That meeting was orchestrated to humiliate President Zelensky, I really hope Europe makes a huge effort to help him.

Trump is not a man to be trusted at all, quite frankly he is as dangerous as Putin.

Instead of the saying “God bless America” I say “God help America and the rest of us”.

Good to see unity

FROM a unity point of view it was good to see European political leaders gathered together in London all prepared to offer moral support for Ukraine.

How sincere this commitment is will come to light when practical action is called for when Trump finally decides America is no longer prepared to be Europe’s defence “nanny”.

Support of a King

KING Charles could have shown more empathy towards Volodymyr Zelensky if he’d greeted him in his slippers, pyjamas, dressing gown and a mug of tea – effectively in his none working clothes.

An effective way of showing the world that it’s not how you dress that makes a person welcome in your own home it’s the spirit you receive them in.
