I wrote the following letter 4 years ago. I wonder how Donald Trump will be celebrating this year’s Independence Day?

Letter to the editor:
As we approach the Fourth of July, I am turning my attention away from President Trump’s mean-spirited tweets and looking for this nation’s goodness. Yes, I always will be a Democrat. More important, I always will love America first.
My hope is that when the president watches the fireworks Tuesday night, he thinks more about the fabric of our country than he does his own agenda.
“Make America Great Again” is a great slogan, but it will mean nothing if Trump continues to demean people whom he simply doesn’t like.
So here is my thought for the commander in chief: You were elected to be the leader of the free world, not the king of mean. Put down your iPhone and make America proud again. I hope you, and all Americans, have a great Fourth of July.
