To the editor: Columnist Jackie Calmes makes glorious factors for individuals who don’t like Donald Trump the person but liked his policies as president.
What such folks appear to be saying is that they preferred their lives higher throughout the interval of 2017-20 than they do at the moment. That’s actually truthful; so did I and possibly most different folks.
However to credit score “Trump’s insurance policies” for that choice is absurd. A lot of what has made the current interval tough has its roots within the COVID-19 pandemic and its fallout, each of which have been poorly addressed by Trump and successfully addressed by President Biden.

To the editor: It looks like each different day The Occasions is publishing an article questioning why voters disdain Trump however approve of his insurance policies, or financial plan, or idea of a plan.
These are all code phrases for what I imagine was properly defined in a Sept. 15 Occasions op-ed article by Austrian researcher Luca Versteegen: “Sloppy language about Trump sympathizers being ‘left behind’ is useless improper; they’re members of dominant teams who need to stay dominant.”
I’ll simply depart it there for now.
