To the editor: Characterizing Donald Trump’s incapacity to tell apart former L.A. Metropolis Councilmember Nate Holden from former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown as racist appears very unfair to Trump. (“Willie Brown wasn’t on that horrifying helicopter journey with Trump. Right here’s who was,” Aug. 10)
Possibly it’s nothing greater than when the previous president couldn’t bear in mind the distinction between Social Safety and Medicare, or when he blanked out on the June 28 debate.
Oh, wait, that was President Biden, not Trump, and Trump portrayed it as an indication of disabling senility. My mistake! All previous white males look alike to me.
(P.S.: I’m an previous white man.)

To the editor: I just lately celebrated my eightieth birthday. My linear reminiscence will not be what it was once, and I generally misremember the occasions of my previous.
I can perceive Trump remembering an incident from 1990 involving a helicopter that just about crashed, and that there was a Black politician on board. I’m unsure why he remembered the person as a former San Francisco mayor, however I’m positive that he has proof together with “logs, upkeep data, and witnesses” to show that it occurred, as he wrote on-line.
That doesn’t imply that it concerned Brown or has any relevance to his marketing campaign towards the Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris.
I recall the previous president telling us that he sleeps solely 4 to 5 hours per night time. I believe he ought to attempt to get extra relaxation earlier than operating for reelection.
