Letter to the editor: Comparing Trump, Biden administrations

Both politically conservative and politically left-wing letter writers call each other names and traffic in disinformation. And, since the biased mainstream media is full of omissions and lies, how can we voters determine the real facts?

Perhaps comparing presidential job achievements the past six years might make the picture clearer. The Trump administration built walls and reduced crime and fentanyl trafficking across the Mexican border, held price inflation down to about 2%, supported our police, military and border patrol, accelerated covid-19 vaccine production with the “Warp Speed” program, negotiated the Abraham Middle East peace accords, supported American energy producers to keep fossil fuel prices down and kept us free of any global conflicts.

The Biden administration achievements, while disappointing in general by comparison, need to be recognized for their success at uniting NATO to militarily support the sovereign country of Ukraine and rebuke Putin for his bloody invasion of Ukraine. And remember that inflation, which is now running 6% to 7%, is the “cruelest tax” on the working class and the poor, and that left-wing socialism has never worked in any of the countries it has been tried.
