Letter from Matthew Singerman of Newbury Park in today's Los Angeles Times:
"Since President Trump indicated during his post-impeachment rants that he's going to focus his energy on exacting revenge on his political opponents, does that mean we can't look forward to seeing his promised 'infrastructure week' anytime soon? Will Trump's quest for vengeance prevent a rollout of his 'beautiful' healthcare plan? Will he not eliminate the national debt, despite the fact that he said he could do it 'very quickly'? Will he see to it that other countries stop 'laughing at us'?
To paraphrase Claude Rains' character in Casablanca, I'm shocked, shocked to see that Trump finds it easier to attack his perceived enemies than attack the real problems facing the United States. In contrast, I recall President Clinton staying focused and highly productive throughout and after his impeachment trial. What I cannot recall is Clinton throwing a vindictive pity party similar to Trump after his acquittal. Oh well. I'm sure Trump isn't as petty as he seems and he'll put this all behind him – probably around the same time Mexico pays for his wall."
