Letter: The corruption of ‘Animal Farm’ is in the Trump administration

I read with great interest the letter from Mr. James Oshust, “Some more equal than others,” and it brought back fond memories of a treasured book from George Orwell.

Mr. Oshust is correct that the pigs who were the leaders, Napoleon and Snowball, grew more corrupt as they became more powerful. The official party propaganda/slogan did indeed become, “All animals are created equal but some are more equal than others” as a cloak to hide their self-serving, unethical and possibly illegal activities.

I think Mr. Oshust needs to correctly assign Napoleons and Snowballs attributes to the actions of the Trump administration, and not the House of Representatives.
