DEAR EDITOR:

This 20-year-old man who made an attempt to assassinate former President Donald Trump did not succeed in his mission, but he did make a name for himself in the history books. His former classmates said he was bullied a lot. His father bought him the rifle when he was 13, but he did not make the rifle team — he was a bad shot. He left no clues behind on why he would do such a thing.

Trump has been bullied by the Democratic Party since 2016, but he is a grown man. He was not one of them, he was different — a businessman, not a politician. They have tried every way they can think of to get rid of him; they just hate him.

Now the Democrats want to turn down the rhetoric.

Trump can defend himself, even when they drag him through the court system. The Democrats have weaponized the Justice Department, our judicial system, with Democratic prosecuting attorneys and judges.

So who are the real bullies in this political system?
