Trump is the President we deserve

Trump is the President we deserve

To the Editor:

How insulting Joe Biden is to the American public … us the voters, the ones who deserve to know what our candidates think, how they speak, what they look like and who they are. 

But, not so with presidential candidate Joe Biden. Biden puts a daily lid on his appearances on the campaign trail and slips out for a few campaign stops here and there. When asked if he would pack the Supreme Court, he denied that voters have a right to know his thoughts before casting their ballots.  

On the other hand, President Donald Trump is not only in the candidate scene every day, he stops to take press questions whenever he steps out of the White House. We have no question about what Trump thinks or where he is going with his policies. He challenges media misinformation and explains where the distortions are wrong. There are press conferences, cameras and media at Oval Office and committee meetings. There is unprecedented transparency in the Trump administration and campaign. 

The kind of candidate and President we deserve and expect is like Donald Trump, not daily basement hiders and lid refuge retreaters like we see in Joe Biden. Thinks about the voters. Choose a transparent President Donald Trump or we will get a presidential administration like Joe Biden that is hidden away, cloaked in secrecy and probably unseen in public except for a few national events.
