Letters to the Editor Tuesday, Jan. 12 | The Daily Gazette SECTIONS Trump squandered opportunity to serve What a shame that Donald Trump, elected to be our president in 2016 that vested him with great power to do good, used his position, great energy and good health, to divide the people and sow distrust about many of our intuitions and forward thinking policies. He attacked our intelligence agencies for uncovering facts about Russian involvement in the 2016 election. He decimated the EPA, the agency that studied and warned us about the dangers of air pollution and climate change. But, as always ignoring science, he canceled the requirements for better automobile gas mileage along with many other environmental regulations.
