To the editor: It makes sense that many of us are feeling the lateral effect of Trump's administration and the daily uncertainty that postpons on the world (“Trump reverse in the chair of the Fed, China tariffs send higher markets,” April 23). However, I believe that dissonance is even more identified by the fact that we are being hostage in Trump's chaotic mind.
This is a person who changes his mind with the breeze and enjoys fighting, as if it were the air that breathes, and will continue to incite fights with the world in general to demonstrate that he is in charge. The constant chaos we are experiencing is exhausting for many. Although the Democratic Party needs to join and fight eventually, meanwhile, a crash helmet, the neck, the dramamine may have to be enough.

To the editor: President Trump's actions may seem unpredictable, but he is doing the same thing he did on January 6, 2021. He stood up that day and did nothing for three hours in front of all that pain and butcher shop. Today, the same is doing: while our neighbors and allies are rubbed from threatened tariffs, since US citizens face more pronounced prices for goods and groceries, while the stock market crashes and the position of the United States in the world is increasingly lowered, happily observes from their golden palace.

To the editor: I almost had to laugh when I read that Treasury Secretary Scott Besent said that the United States first includes “mutual respect among commercial partners.” The president surely does not respect our business partners who, according to him, he says repeatedly, “has been cheating” for years. Good luck, Besent, speaking with a sense of your diving boss!
