We find the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette editorial board’s endorsement of President Donald Trump to be untenable (Nov. 1 editorial, “The Man and the Record”). The editorial asks, can we separate the man from the record, and the answer is clearly “no.”
Character truly matters. He has been a horrible example for our children to emulate and, yes, an embarrassment to our nation, especially to the rest of the world. Due to him, racism is on the rise and he has succeeded in dividing us as a nation, instead of trying to bring us together. He doesn’t care about that.
Lastly, his handling of the pandemic is his worst failure, with the number of cases and deaths rising significantly now (despite his recent claims of “turning the corner”). Joe Biden will take the pandemic much more seriously and he will restore civility. This matters to us. And the economy under Mr. Biden, despite the editorial’s gloomy prediction, will be better—as his plan makes clear.
