Vancouver resident Mike Spence shares his reaction to the Trump verdict

Editor’s note: Opinions expressed in this letter to the editor are those of the author alone and do not reflect the editorial position of ClarkCountyToday.com

Former President Donald Trump said voters will decide his guilt or innocence in the November presidential election following his conviction Thursday on all counts by a New York City jury. Actually, a court of his peers already decided Trump’s guilt on 13 criminal counts. He is now our country’s first ex-president/felon. 

Don’t forget a different jury assessed him for millions of dollars for being a sexual predator. MAGA enthusiasts can fume all they want, but it doesn’t change facts.

Yet some people still think this guy would be a good president? Some people go to church on Sunday and plan to vote for him on a Tuesday in November? Shame!

Fortunately, if one votes for Trump in any of the West Coast states, that vote doesn’t matter. All three will vote overwhelmingly blue. Maybe move to Idaho?
