To the editor:

I know the words demigod and demagogue are often confused, so I looked them up in my old Collegiate Dictionary.

Demigod: 'A mythological being with more power than a mortal but less than a god.”

Demagogue: 'A leader who makes use of popular prejudices and false claims and promises in order to gain power.”

Donald Trump thinks he is the first one. He is actually the second one.
