Editor,

Fred Wilferth asked why he shouldn’t vote for the stable genius. Don’t bother, Trump has said he doesn’t need your vote, that votes don’t matter. He didn’t expect to win in 2016 and he obviously isn’t expecting to win on Nov. 5.

What he desperately does need is to sell you chaos and bull. He’s sold steaks, vodka, real estate diplomas and a bogus charity. He’s convinced you he cares about the uneducated, that he’s good at business, that he is a person of faith, that he tells it like it is. He’s got sneakers for you, he’s got Chinese-made Bibles. Our small town newspaper has a massive digital ad for you to buy “wound infused, fight, fight, fight” $39 gold coins. He’s trying to sell you the idea that China will pay for tax cuts for the 1% when he puts a 60% tariff on all Chinese imports. He’s selling Jan. 6 as a day of love.

Clearly Trump words have no meaning. Fred, why would you buy anything from this person?
