Cartoon speaks truth

To the editor,
I was very delighted with the

depiction of our current president
and rst lady in the May 3 issue of

e Somers Record. It spoke the
truth about the current residents
of the White House. Our coun-
try is more divided today because
of the actions and words of this
president. His vitriolic tweets and
bullying techniques are an insult
to our democracy and to me. is
behavior shows where his moral
compass is pointed. Kudos to the
cartoonist and the editorial sta
for having the courage to print
this truthful cartoon.
