I resist Trump because I love my country

In response to Gregory L. Bacchetti (letter March 2): I love my country and believe in the Constitution, private property, privacy and all of the amendments. It is my duty as an American to oppose the Trump administration.

It is not just the people on the left who are worried. It is anyone who cares about the poor, our environment, women and people in general. President Trump is full of hate and the alt-right sings his praise. This is not a white, Christian country. We have no national religion. I will oppose his policies as long as he is in office because I love my country.
