Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump answers questions from reporters at the National Federation of Republican Assemblies in Nashville, Tenn. (Mark Humphrey, The Associated press)
Donald Trump is no more and no less the Great Silverback Gorilla, with all his chest-thumping bravado. With his unintelligible roar, devoid of language or substance, he expresses his alpha male status so admired by innumerable visitors to the primate section of most zoos. King of primates he may be, but president and commander and chief of the United States and leader of the free world? Please!
David Shander, Denver
