Trump: His strength beats Obama's weakness

Re: “West is snubbed, ill-treated by Trump,” (TNT, 5/7).

I’m no President Trump supporter and I, too, do not like the amount of money it takes for him to go to his properties. But I do take issue with columnist Timothy Egan and other journalists who live and breathe to find fault with Trump, ad infinitum.

Egan goes through his environmentalism with no cost-to-benefit review. He also goes through that the worry that President Obama had visited nine nations by now, regardless that he was on a two-year apology tour. Obama enjoyed the perks of overseas travel; it seems that he didn’t like the U.S., versus Trump saying he likes our country and our armed services.

You may disagree with his views on how to make this nation better, but at least Trump likes us to be a nation of strength in military and industry instead of a nation that appeared to have no backbone and a lover of socialism under the previous administration.

The dark force is strong with the mainstream media. Their hate is stronger than unbiased opinion, and they will not be denied.
