Endorsement of Trump makes me sick

JC Wilcox (Letters, Feb 25) in his endorsement of Donald Trump is such a hypocrite that it makes me sick to my stomach.

Frst of all, while Wilcox pretends to be a supporter of animal rights, it doesn’t bother him that Trump defends his two sons who are big game hunters who kill elephants. And his eldest daughter sells fur hats.
Second, while Wilcox believes that the majority of Thai people are too uneducated to have democracy or to be allowed to vote, he says it’s bigotry to note that Trump mostly appeals to the uneducated. In fact, it is hard to imagine a more elitist snob than Wilcox who for years has been preaching down at the Thais.
Finally, what are Trump’s practical ideas? Charging Mexico to build a 2000-mile wall to keep Mexicans out of America? Deporting eleven million people? Banning all Muslims from coming to America? There is a reason why educated, practical people see Trumps for what he is: an off-the-wall crackpot and buffoon whose success results from appealing to people’s lowest instincts.
