From the moment Donald J. Trump glided down his golden escalator at Trump Tower in June of 2015, Linda B. Gefen started to share her observations on the hypocrisy and horror of his presidential race against Hillary Clinton in letters to the editors of major newspapers. Many were published as Opinions and Letters to the Editor. Hearing his toxic words inspired Linda B. Gefen to put her feelings out there and that suddenly grew into almost nine years of late-night or early-morning writings, creating an outlet for her to share her dismay at what America's future was heading towards. The "Letters" progressed through Trump's first term, including the pandemic, two impeachments, his loss to Biden in 2020 and the January 6 insurrection, 34 convictions on criminal counts, and, believe it or not, his second presidential race...which Trump...after all the negativity, most surprisingly won. Because of that happening ...this journey is far from over! My letters began to flow almost simultaneously with Trump's decision to run for President in June 2015, as I was shocked that he would be chosen for the top of the GOP ticket. A few writings grew into the hundreds, bringing history from my view, center-left, to the pages of this book. The end is never the end, it just passes us by and continues. I am sure if you open any page and read a letter, it will remind you of that certain moment in time. It is a compilation of eight to almost nine years of passages filled with my passion for truth to power. I am still searching for it, especially now again with Trump's negative messaging. "Letters" is history in a personal story-like version...seen through my more liberal eyes!
