Hendrix op-ed on Trump is right on

Howard V. Hendrix’s op-ed in the Sept. 10 Fresno Bee was the most thought-provoking article I have read yet about the very real uncertainties of Donald Trump.

Some will say it’s exaggerating and overplaying Mr. Trump’s negative rhetoric. I say it’s right on. Mr. Trump scares me. I find it appalling that such a man could even be considered for the top position in this country.

Yes, Hillary Clinton is not perfect, who among us is, but I believe she has learned any lessons she may have needed to learn and would be a good president. We cannot be certain on any subject, what Mr. Trump would actually do if elected.

It appears to depend on who he talked to last and what they tell him he needs to do, as he has no real policies of his own. Except maybe to build that deplorable wall, which is not really needed according to border-patrol officers interviewed.

I do not want to spend my tax dollars on a wall and who do you think will end up paying, as Mexico has most definitely said it will not pay.

Please vote.
