Peterson letter: Donald Trump

The Republican Party has been kidnapped by Donald Trump. It’s the Stockholm Syndrome in front of our eyes. Right now it’s the infatuation phase. What will he do next? What he does next will wear awayone’s sense of trust, security, fairness, humanity. Fear replaces any ability to love. Then one day the meanness, hate and fear are too much, and hopefully there’s enough strength and courage to rise up and find the key to the room and get out.
