To the Editor:
Re “President Trump’s Dystopian America” (editorial, Jan. 21):
What’s dark and disturbing is not Donald Trump’s vision of America, but your negative spin on it.
Mr. Trump won because the American people had grown sick and tired of foreign military interventions that squander our national wealth and the valor of our young men and women; free-trade policies that outsource American jobs and industries; uncontrolled immigration; and a growing national debt that now exceeds our gross domestic product.
The American people had also come to despise a corrupt and out-of-touch political establishment that enriches itself at their expense, multiculturalism, politically correct speech, and media elites who know what’s best for them.
By contrast, President Trump offers them hope and a national-populist vision that puts their interests and those of America first.
