Chuck Perine: Trump didn’t ‘wreck’ our country, that was Obama

Re “Start deportations … with Trump” (Letters, Feb. 26): Donald Trump has only been in office for a little more than a month. You say he wrecked our country that we all love! Well it’s not wrecked, it’s totaled and that’s because of the last eight years of Obama. President Trump inherited this “wreck,” as you say, from Obama. Look at all the last-hour favors Obama gave out to our enemies. How many pardons that the people are now back in prison? Like I feel. Not wrecked but totaled.

Chuck Perine, Modesto
