Letter to the editor: Another side of Trump

In 2005, Donald Trump sent a handwritten letter to former Miss Wisconsin Melissa Consin Young, who was lying gravely ill in a hospital room. She described the letter in 2016 during Trump’s presidential campaign, noting that he wrote, “To the bravest woman I know”; “I remember, such a wonderful, beautiful woman, I mean just an amazing woman”; “You’re gonna hopefully be all right, those doctors are going to be so wrong, we’ll be helping you!” Young said Trump provided, through his foundation, a full-ride college scholarship for her then-7-year-old son.

On abortion, Trump has said “every child is a gift from God.” At a recent rally in Georgia, Trump met with the parents of slain nursing student Laken Riley, and during his speech commented that she is in heaven with God.

It’s sad that Trump haters never get to hear these and similar remarks. It is apparent that they are subject to mainstream media propaganda and their censure of anything pro-Trump. The press was given a prominent place in the Constitution to be a watchdog against the formation of a tyrannical government, and I think they have failed miserably.

Trump is not the ogre they make him out to be. In my opinion, he’s the only one standing between a tyrannical government and our freedom. If your vision of America for your descendants is that of Joe Biden and his ilk, good luck!
