"You will achieve more in this world through acts of mercy than you will through acts of retribution." — Nelson Mandela, 1993 Nobel Peace Prize recipient
In a recent letter, " President of Peace? " the writer claims that Donald Trump:
1) was "restoring safety in America's capital" and
2) was "supporting a possible peace between Russia and Ukraine" (by allowing Russia to keep Ukrainian territory seized by force) for which he should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
1) According to the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police, "Violent crime for 2024 in D.C. was down 35 percent from 2023 and is the lowest it has been in over 30 years." The National Guard is picking up trash in D.C. rather than helping flood victims in Texas where they're wanted and needed. Sending in the military to occupy U.S. cities is Rethuglican political theater, nothing more. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the quiet part out loud confirming, "The president would love to do this in every Democrat-run city across the country." FYI, the most corrupt and dangerous criminal presently menacing D.C. is Donald Trump himself. One of Don the Con's most heinous crimes was giving pardons to more than 1,500 armed and violent Jan. 6 traitors. This makes all MAGA lectures on "law and order" both hypocritical and absurd.
