Letter: A lot of people did not pay attention

In the words of the great Maya Angelou, "when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." Apparently, a lot of voters forgot the over 30,000 lies told during Trump's first term. Then there was the mishandling of the Covid crisis resulting in over a million deaths and rampant inflation. January 6th should have been a real wake-up call but was overlooked. Perhaps you felt Trump would run America like a business, this would be a good thing, and you voted for a guy with numerous bankruptcies. What could possibly go wrong? So, here we are with all the lies, corruption, and incompetency we experienced in the first Trump term only many times worse. We should have believed him the first time.
