To the editor: On the same Los Angeles Times page that informs us that the comedy classic \u201cClueless\u201d has been chosen by the Library of Congress to join its National Film Registry, there\u2019s an article about First Lady Melania Trump\u2019s new documentary (\u201c\u2018Clueless,\u2019 \u2018The Karate Kid,\u2019 \u2018Inception\u2019 highlight 25 movies entering National Film Registry,\u201d<\/a> \u201c\u2018Melania\u2019 documentary, helmed by controversial filmmaker, arrives amid national turmoil,\u201d<\/a> Jan. 29).<\/p>\n While promoting her eponymous film, she is asked about the protests in Minneapolis after a citizen was wrestled to the ground, disarmed of his legally carried and holstered weapon, and shot at approximately 10 times<\/a> while being held down by several federal immigration officers. Trump is quoted as responding, \u201cI\u2019m against the violence, so please if you protest, protest in peace.\u201d Talk about clueless.<\/p>\n Keith Peterson, Long Beach<\/p>\n ..<\/p>\n To the editor: \u201cStrife\u201d and \u201cturmoil\u201d (\u201c\u2018Melania\u2019 documentary, helmed by controversial filmmaker, arrives amid national turmoil,\u201d<\/a> Jan. 29)? Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos could spend a reported<\/a> $75 million on a Melania Trump movie. But apparently, he cannot find enough in his $254 billion<\/a> to keep Amazon Fresh stores open and keep 16,000 total jobs<\/a> and approximately 3,339 employees<\/a> in Southern California alone working. Now that\u2019s strife.<\/p>\n Lloyd A.
