Readers sound off on Mayor Adams in office, Yom Kippur and flying monkeys

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : What did Trump, the great negotiator, get in return?
44% : Perhaps Trump could have used his influence with his friends in the Taliban, the ones he originally invited to Camp David to meet with him during the anniversary week of 9/11 in 2020, to mitigate any violence during our withdrawal, like any true American patriot -- which Trump is not -- would have done.
29% : Trump potentially saved Vladimir Putin's life with COVID-19 test kits.
26% : If anyone truly believes Trump could have pulled off an error-free withdrawal or organized any other major undertaking -- the COVID-19 response, for example -- without the effort devolving into complete chaos, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
5% : When Voicer W.J. Van Sickle defended Trump by declaring that Biden did not follow the former president's Afghanistan withdrawal plan, he forgot to mention that the terrorists who murdered our Marine Corps heroes during the withdrawal were most likely among the 5,000 Afghanistan terrorists released from prison by Trump in December 2020.
