Can’t take a chance

To the editor:

Electrocuted in a sinking boat or jumping in the water with sharks? Trump’s choice: “I’ll take electrocution every single time. I’m not getting near the shark. So we’re going to end it for boats…and for trucks.” The “it” Trump referred to is “the electric.” Praise for fictional killer Hannibal Lecter, a pledge “to keep A.M. radio in our cars,” pride in making “Israel the capital of Israel,” and a promise to shut down the Department of Education, except for “one desk, one person, just to make sure everyone’s speaking English.” Word salad? Unhinged drunken uncle? We can’t take that chance.
