Other countries must be thinking ‘we are idiots.’ Are we?

Many presidents have had adventures with the ladies, writes Carleen Bubenik of Sanger.

Regarding the Jan. 16 letter from Linda Marie, who wrote about “Real immigrant housewives of Trump Tower:” Has she ever heard stories about President John F. Kennedy and his brothers, Robert and Ted and their ladies?

Oh! Let’s not let President Bill Clinton off the hook. He degraded the Oval Office with his sex activities in that room. Words aren’t the only disgusting thing.

I don’t care for the way President Trump says some things, but that doesn’t make him a bad President. Have an open mind, gather information, good and bad, and then decide on what’s right or wrong for your way of thinking. Jumping to conclusions without “all” the facts can make for a bad decision.

I have never, in my many, many, years on earth heard so much criticism of a president. Keeping the pot boiling only divides our great country. Other countries that do not have half of what we have must be shaking their heads and thinking we are idiots. Are we?
