In reference to the Sept. 6 article. “Revisiting Vietnam”: Since I visited Vietnam a few years ago, I thought it would be nice to read and compare the author’s experience with my own. But there was no information about cities visited, people encountered, battlefields visited, food eaten, etc. Instead it was short history lesson on the country, which then appeared to degenerate into the usual Donald Trump bashing. In other words, same old, same old for the Observer-Reporter.

Todd DePastino’s assertion that Trump is a symptom of public distrust of government is true if he means the average citizen likes the president’s straight talk and is sick of the usual political antics. If he’s somehow trying to suggest Trump is part of the problem of government, he’s wrong.

Just a story about visiting Vietnam would have been better than political statements of questionable bias.
