Letter to the Editor: A welcome break from all Trump all the time

In a letter to the editor, Lynn H. Elliott of Chico argues that the frenzy of constant U.S. political coverage has crowded out other forms of public life. Citing the FIFA World Cup as a contrast, the writer says that for weeks there was “joy, love, music, dance” and genuine pride, with only minor scuffles. The letter then claims society has returned to what the author calls “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” describing an ongoing barrage of topics from tariffs and foreign conflict to court figures, immigration, and policy changes—ending with “29 months to go.”
