As President Trump’s standing in opinion polls falls and his handling of the coronavirus pandemic continues to come under withering criticism, letter writers expressing support for him rarely defend his record as much as they disparage his opponents. Brian Symington of Los Angeles recaps some of Trump’s most notable pledges:The letter from the Trump supporter is shocking in its ignorance of reality. Unfortunately, many of Trump’s supporters live in denial. I agree with the opinion that Trump’s record is one of “promises made, promises kept,” and I will also cast my vote for him this November. Ponder of Torrance notes a contradiction:What peculiar thinking of a local resident seeking life liberty and pursuit of happiness, but supporting a would-be monarchial autocrat.
