To the editor: The columnist Jonah Goldberg has close to understanding why President Trump is trying to force something, everything he can call a peace agreement between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky (“Here is the key to understanding Donald Trump's approach to Ukraine War», March 4). Goldberg only prevented thumbs from explaining Trump's obsession from being a key player in such an agreement. Trump's insistence on the fact that Zelensky Cave is motivated, in my opinion, by events of 15 years, when the president of the time, Barack Obama, received the Nobel Peace Prize. It seems that Trump is quite willing to promote the continuation of a war that kills thousands, until he can claim to have arrested him. He can also win the Nobel Peace Prize. His ego and insecurities do not know any limits.

To the editor: Is it possible that Goldberg is on something? Breaking News: Trump fishing the Nobel Peace Prize and another cameo on the cover of Time magazine. He is only interested in transactions which will be beneficial to him.

To the editor: The surprisingly excellent column of Goldberg is 100% correct. Trump's approach to life has always been: “Let's just say”. He never cared about true or false, or good or evil, nor the constitution or laws. Remember, he told the Secretary of State for Georgia to find 11,780 votes votes – another form of “just saying”.
Goldberg does not say what we should do about all of this. I suggest that the Democrats of the Chamber prepare and present precise and persuasive motions for dismissal – and speak loudly and constantly – but I welcome other ideas.

To the editor: Goldberg deserves a hat point, but not a hat, on his column on the Ukraine War and Trump's vanity (“The question of whether Russia invades Ukraine is not a “complicated” question. Why say that it is? February 25).
While rightly raising serious questions about the president's character and goal, as well as the president's confusion and obscure in the ranks, as the managers do the tap dance, Goldberg does not disappoint, because he quickly moves the gears to continue his own Boogeymen: Biden and Democrats.
Questions of false equivalence could be raised at this stage, as to condemn Hitler's brutality, then quickly jump to the failures and defects of the Republic of Weimar (German democratic government from 1919 to 1933). Whatever the defects that the Weimar Republic had decreased in relation to the naked evil of Nazism.
And whatever the defects of the Biden administration – and the Democrats have always – also pale compared to the brutal dismantling of the American government, even if the administration of Putin's lies, which are both designed to improve Trump's wallet.
Goldberg can never resist a chance to reach the aisle and crazy the Democrats and to scold Biden, as if that could soften the hideous mess in the GOP. I want him to declare the case of the corrupt gop, expresses his disappointment and he leaves it there.
