30 April—Let’s hear it for Trump!

Okay, that’s really a just hook. We mean, of course, Let’s hear it for Trump from Trump supporters! The Monitor has at least three readers who, judging by received and posted correspondence, support Donald Trump as President of the United States in one way or another—or at least don’t despise him.

There well may be other Trump supporters among Monitor readers, who number anywhere between five and thousands. (We stopped using a free visit counter about a year after we went online. It regularly showed an ego-boosting over 2,500 discrete daily hits. But when the count went up to 18,000 daily hits and the counter intermittently disabled the website, we had to delete it in the interest of survival. Since then, we haven’t seen any freebie visit counters we’d trust. And of course we wouldn’t want to learn that we actually had only a few regular readers. If the Monitor took paid advertising, on the other hand . . .)

So now, if Donald Trump strikes you positively in any way at all, if you voted for him, if you support him, if you respect him, if you like him, if you consider him a businessman, if you feel he’s a good person, if you think he’s honest and trustworthy, if you consider him a good president, if you think he’s doing a good job, if you think he’s competent—you name his good and/or not so bad qualities—the Monitor wants to hear from you.

Rather than a poll, this is an informal survey intended to give pro-Trump readers an opportunity to express their rationale, their reasons for admiring or at least accepting Trump as president. It’s only fair. There are no word limits or other restrictions or rules to follow. Just let the pro-trump words flow.

And the Monitor will post the paeans to Trump, signed or anonymously, as requested. Probably—hopefully, at any rate—without editorial comment. We’ll try.

Think, consider carefully, don’t rush it. But a week should give you time to gather your thoughts in defense of Trump, put them into words, and email them to Editor@LitchfieldMonitor.com or pmrosenberg@optonline.net.

There have been three alleged attempts on Donald Trump’s life so far, as well as that nasty 8647 threat, so doesn’t the poor guy deserve to have some positive things about him posted in the Litchfield Monitor?
