To the Editor:
Re “The Case for Trump” (Op-Ed, April 16):
Representative Chris Collins praises Donald Trump for refusing to be politically correct. I disagree. Mr. Trump regularly deploys coded language, implication and backtracking. He doesn’t tell it like it is at all; he implies it, denies the implication, then denies the denial.
From his reluctant disavowal of David Duke’s endorsement to his vacillation on abortion, it’s Mr. Trump who has learned to (mostly) couch his unambiguously racist and sexist ideas within vague statements. It is Mr. Trump, and by way of endorsement Mr. Collins, who are too “politically correct” to admit their own racism and sexism.
STEVEN T. SACCO
Forest Hills, Queens
Note from KBJ: We're doomed! Steven T. Sacco has broken the code! Whatever shall we do? (By the way, I'll give you ten to one odds that Steven T. Sacco of Forest Hill, Queens, is far more racist and sexist than Donald Trump.)
