To the editor:
Words matter. Why does The Times use the word “conservatism” to describe the ideology of Donald Trump’s presidency?
“Reactionary” or even “radical” are better descriptions.
While Trump continues to malign the press, why do you use a benign word that dignifies his positions? Words do matter.
Lucille Gechtman, Sherman Oaks
Note from KBJ: We didn't elect Donald Trump because he's conservative. We elected him because we agree with him on the important things, such as health care, immigration, and trade policy. We also liked his disdain for political correctness.
