Trump article was just too much

To the Editor:

This is in reference to the June 9-15 issue of The Smoky Mountain News. I thought this was called the Smoky Mountain News, not the Greenville News. I can see perhaps a mention of Trump in North Carolina but a full-page picture with “The Return Of The Don” was unprofessional and uncalled for. 

This person was responsible for the attempted coup against our government and our democracy and for the deaths that resulted. When I saw this featured as it was in your publication, I threw it away and I will never pick it up again. Sad for your advertisers.
