Congress, courts can check Trump
In response to Debby Besecker (letter March 5): There are many Americans who love this country just as much as her and support Donald Trump’s agenda. What this country needs is not more resistance; it needs unity.
As a nation, we have checks and balances. We have 535 members of Congress and a Supreme Court as a front-line defense to any “hate” Trump may try to present. For her to speak so knowledgeably about a man I’m sure she has never met is amazing to me.
We need to come together as communities, as counties and as states to decide what is best for our situations. That is how a republic works. One man cannot dictate our daily lives. We elect representatives. We choose our leaders. We must choose unity over resistance or else we will divide. And a divided nation is a weak nation.
