Mr. Wisotsky’s feigned bemusement (“Missing the Point on Trump,” September 13, 2018) belies his attempt at misdirection and obfuscation as he refused to address any of the salient issues I raised. Initially he attempts to dismiss any criticisms as the work of irrational “Trump haters.” In a non sequitur, he describes the plight of world Jewry and how we should be grateful to America for providing a safe haven, implying that any justified criticism of our unindicted co-conspirator in chief reflects ingratitude and a lack of patriotism. Finally, he calls for a unity which is possible only as long as we agree to partake of his disingenuous and delusional thinking.

The most important words of the Constitution are “We, the people.” Rather than retreat into ideological corners, we must unite to promote and defend the pillars of American Democratic institutions which are currently under attack.
