Opinion: Punishing Donald Trump wont bring nation together – The San Diego Union-Tribune

Re Opposing views on whether Joe Biden should pardon Donald Trump (Jan 20): As a Republican, I accept that Joe Biden is our president. Biden says he is going to unite us as a nation. I want him to succeed just as I did for past presidents. Trump lost the election. He had every right to challenge up until Jan. 6 just as others did before him.

Why is it that those on the left wanted to impeach Trump for a second time? He did not incite by his speech and the radicals had an organized goal planned. How does a second impeachment of a now-private citizen Trump unite us as a nation today?

What a colossal waste of time for the American people and President Biden. Biden should take a stand, carpe diem and just say no.

The U-T welcomes and encourages community dialogue on important public matters.

Perhaps the ultimate oxymoron can be summarized by glancing at the San Diego Union-Tribune headlines of Jan. 23, Senate agrees to begin impeachment trial Feb. 9 and Jan. 24, How does a nation heal?.
