Trump bashers lacking substance

Dear Editor:

I love to receive and read your sister newspaper The Kelowna Daily Courier and I read it every morning when it is printed. I have done so since I moved to Kelowna in 1972.

But I enjoy it even more now during this “isolation time” we are now experiencing.

Admittedly, the coronavirus subject gets most of the space and a lot of it is repetitious and “old news,” but I endure it and still love the morning news.

What annoys me are those letters to the editor that don’t contribute anything of value but reflect only the hatred living in some people, who can find no positive thoughts or suggestions, but must indulge themselves in bashing U.S. President Donald Trump. What do they hope to achieve by their biased, insulting and ridiculing diatribes?

Admittedly, Trump does seem to ramble on about some topics, but so do pretty well every other spokesperson on the coronavirus subject, including Canadian premiers, medical spokespersons, etc.

Probably, Trump was overly optimistic early on, but I believe he was legitimately trying to be upbeat and optimistic; trying to prevent panic and worry for the citizens and tried to give positive hope for an early treatment or cure for the disease. What’s wrong with that?

Yes he was wrong about the projected numbers of cases, but so was everyone else. No one, not any medical specialists, doctors or politicians had and still do not have any definitive answers to this pandemic.

So as we anxiously await some success of prevention or cure from our research scientists, I wonder if those Trump haters will continue to try to pin all the blame on him. Ted Bajer Kelowna
