To the editor: When requested if he’s referred to as Gov. Tim Walz out of sympathy and concern for the political assassination in Minnesota, President Trump responded, “Why would I name him?” (“Trump says he won’t call Minnesota Gov. Walz after lawmaker shootings because it would ‘waste time,’” June 17).
It’s an excellent query. I consider the reply is that when one a part of the nation suffers such a grave violation of life and liberty, all of America is diminished.
4 hundred years in the past, John Donne posed and answered the identical query: “Subsequently by no means ship to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”
