New state GOP leaderhas her head in sand
Re: “First black woman to lead California’s GOP ready to take on Dems” (Web page A1, April 6).
If the reality is advised typically sufficient, individuals might consider it.
President Trump isn’t a businessman, as acknowledged by Corrin Rankin, head of California’s GOP. One can do their very own analysis and Google these six Trump companies that certainly went out of business: Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Plaza Lodge, Plaza Lodge, Trump Lodges and Resorts, Trump Leisure Resorts, and Trump Fort Lodge and On line casino. Individuals might search “President Trump did not have six bankruptcies,” and they’d not discover any various information to help that premise, irrespective of how exhausting they tried. Six bankruptcies don’t an excellent businessman make, and it ought to be one thing all of us simply agree upon.
Proper now, we’re headed towards his seventh: the US of America, and frighteningly, the world economic system. Let’s preserve pounding the pavement with the reality.

Trump’s detractors arebeing unhealthy Individuals
I voted for Donald Trump twice, albeit considerably reluctantly. But I believed he was an excellent president on coverage total. After 2020, nonetheless, I prayed for God to exchange him.
I knew that if Trump ever turned President once more, then the all-out effort to convey him down would instantly resume. However I ask these of you who help this: How will you contemplate yourselves good Democrats if you refuse to just accept the legitimacy of a democratically elected president, irrespective of how a lot you may disagree with him or, even, hate him?
Since 2016, I’ve attended a number of townhalls with native Home representatives, and all have been nothing aside from anti-Trump rallies. That is improper, individuals.
President Trump is boldly doing what greater than 77 million of us elected him to do, believing that he’s making an attempt to do what’s greatest for our nation. In the event you can’t settle for this, then, sorry, however you’re not appearing like good Individuals.

Column fails to makeits level on tariffs
Re: “How tariffs destroy what makes America great” (Web page A7, April 4).
David Brooks makes an attempt to elucidate how the Trump tariffs are a nasty factor with out even suggesting why it’s unfair for different international locations to impose greater tariffs on incoming U.S. items than the U.S. imposes on theirs.
Brooks feels that the present tariff system leads to people who “are enthusiastic about novelty … have diverse curiosity … have social range … combine disparate worldviews … [and] are driven toward continual growth.” Whereas these are good issues to have, we’re the world’s richest nation and have a cataclysmic deficit.
Brooks doesn’t clarify why his niceties would disappear if tariffs have been made honest. Maybe Brooks ought to ask: If making different international locations pay their justifiable share is what’s required to make America nice, what does that say about America?

Trump dishonorssoldiers’ reminiscence
Amid President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariff commerce conflict, $6 trillion inventory market crash, dismissal of intelligence personnel on the behest of a right-wing activist and use of a business app to debate conflict plans, one other merchandise escaped the headlines.
After a days-long search, the our bodies of 4 Military servicemen lacking in a NATO coaching train have been recovered in Lithuania. As their hearses handed by the Lithuanian capital, the streets have been lined with civilians, a quantity in tears, holding American and Lithuanian flags. Rows of Lithuanian troops saluted our troopers as they started their final journey residence.
Regardless of the turmoil created by the Trump administration with European allies, respect stays for the US and the sacrifices of our army.
And the place was President Trump for the dignified switch of the flag-draped caskets? He opted to affix a Saudi-supported LIV golf event, displaying a really totally different form of dedication.

Voter ID guidelines areineffective, pointless
Re: “SAVE Act claims to solve big problem that doesn’t exist” (Web page A8, April 6).
Voting ID legal guidelines being enacted in lots of states are so pointless. We have already got an ID on each poll. It’s known as your signature.
The signature is checked by the registrar of voters. When individuals register to vote, they swear that they’re residents, dwell at their handle and are the right age. The signature makes the doc authorized.
Why do we’d like extra ID legal guidelines? Legal guidelines is not going to make individuals extra reliable.
