I was struck by your placement of the first editorial in your Wednesday paper (CT Post, Oct. 30, 2024) on page 2 under the guise of an article by Dan Haar.

The opinion page was even worse.

Your disdain for President Trump and cherry picking of facts is laughable. President Trump's handling of COVID is criticized. Do you forget the press excoriation of Trump when he went to stop flights from China? or your dismissal of his reporting in the fall of 2020 that a vaccine was forthcoming?

Maybe we did get some new jobs under Biden/Harris. Where's the analysis as to how many of these are from the rebound after the end of the COVID shutdowns? Where is the criticism of the authoritarian Biden trying to mandate the jab through OSHA? or closing down schools that never should have been? Personally, I found it extremely difficult to travel without being vaccinated, which I as healthy male should have been able to avoid.

A complaint is made that Trump separated families. Biden/Harris has been passing trafficked children on to unvetted non-relative sponsors. This wasn't happening at these rates under Trump, and he didn't need a new law to keep immigration in check.

I did hold my nose and vote for President Trump the first time. I support him enthusiastically now. We didn't have a world on fire under President Trump. We were respected, probably in part because our enemies couldn't peg President Trump. We had the Abraham accords instead of a multi-front war against Israel. There was quiet in Ukraine. China was not flexing its muscle around Taiwan.

And as to criminality, if the same energies had been expended by law enforcement against Hilary Clinton or Joe Biden, they would also be convicted criminals. Instead, President Trump famously refrained from going after Hilary. And Hilary now joins the voices who suggest that free speech guarantees should be moderated to suppress mis/disinformation.

At the end of the day, we know who Trump is, and we know what the world looked like when he was President. If anything, he has grown. The best and brightest and most committed are rallying around him now.

We still don't know who Kamala Harris is. And when we see a doddering Biden pretending to run the world, it makes those of us on Trump's side wonder who actually runs things. After promises of change and unity followed by administrations that have only riven us more, the only change we anticipate under Kamala is a push to the radical left.

We don't know from whence the Trump Derangement Syndrome. Maybe it is that he can't be cowed by you and isn't swayed by the usual political forces. The truth is he runs very much to the center, and he talks to people at their level. There's nothing like actually being heard.

Please get over your hate already and give the guy a fair shot.
