Ben Larson stated in his Jan. 18 response to my Dec. 21 letter that he will not "go to his room", but intends to carry out a long and loud protest of Donald Trump-four years' worth, I think. That's good; that is his right-guaranteed by the Constitution of the greatest country in the world-America.

One thing he should keep in mind is that the Constitution grants others-like me-the right to an opinion also, and I haven't changed mine, even though he called me on the carpet for voicing it.

The Constitution also grants President Trump the right to say things many of us may disagree with, or dislike; that is the beauty of freedom of speech.

Enjoy your protesting, Larson, and good luck.
