To the editor:

Yes, some of the things Trump does seem to insult us all. Most are superficial, but we can’t get over them. The “haters” dote on them.

If the media would give us a legitimate listing of what Trump has done so far, it would seem to show that his focus seems purely on preserving America as the republic that was set up by the Constitution. But most liberals (and certainly some conservatives) just cannot accept that half of this country wants to preserve the American republic and rejects overreaching, all-consuming government.

The new media sport seems to be marginalizing legitimate American concerns by labeling them “radical” or “far right,” or turning innocuous comments into another micro-controversy firestorm. There are important issues facing this country, but it is so much fun and helpful to the status quo to divert our attention to inflammatory non-issues.
