To the editor: Welcome to another edition of “Trump Regrets Persecution Policy,” featuring his mediocre, predictable, disingenuous performance at just the right moment. (“Trump defies judge, delivers speech in court on tense final day of New York civil fraud trial,” Jan. 11)
The former president enters into his act of false indignation and false self-righteous indignation. He protests too much. An innocent person does not need this kind of theatrics and hysteria; a guilty person, not so much.
On a scale of one to ten, this program gets a one. Stay tuned if you can handle any more of this really bad daytime drama, because it has plenty more courthouses to visit. I think I hear the organ music now.

To the editor: For Trump to say “you can't have a president without immunity” is ridiculous. Can you imagine if that had been like this all these years?
If a president needs complete immunity to do his job, he shouldn't be president. Every elected official must be held accountable for his or her actions.
Even if the more than 90 criminal charges against Trump are dismissed, the attempt to stop the peaceful transfer of power is more than enough to disqualify him from office. We cannot allow this man a free pass for his actions.
If Trump or any other president were to receive immunity, it would create a catastrophic collapse of one of the fundamental pillars of our democracy.
