(Re: Many distortions in Trump letter, says reader. December 8)

Mr. Connolley has stated that I have many distortions in my letter but he has not managed to refute any of the facts that I have presented.
One example of this writer’s faulty logic is when he refers to Trump and the KKK. Trump never endorsed the KKK and never talked about them. This does not make him a racist. I guess the writer was unaware of Hillary’s famous eulogy about her long-time friend and mentor Senator Byrd, a former leader in the KKK who recruited more than 100 members for that organization.
When this writer blames Trump for racial violence, this is the usual character assassination that is repeated frequently by the biased media. A recent report citing an increase in hate crimes refused to include the rise in hate crimes against whites nor the exponential increase in assassinations of police officers in the U.S.
The evidence from the Project Varitas undercover film showed thugs working for the DNC and Clinton campaign bragging about inciting violence at Trump rallies and fund raisers. The press repeated over and over that Trump was encouraging violence which was the negative press coverage the Clinton campaign wanted.
96 per cent of donations from the news media including those fact checkers the writer alludes to, went to the Clinton campaign. WikiLeaks shows the consistent collusion between these organizations including the New York Times and the Clinton campaign.
Quoting the New York Times does not ensure valid information.
Unfortunately no one is checking the biased fact checkers.
Here are some facts that you can check. The official poverty rate is 0.3 percentage points above where it stood the year before Obama first entered the White House. The number of people on food stamps has increased almost 40 per cent under Obama. The statistics on unemployment in the U.S. are artificially low because they do not include the large number of Americans who have given up looking for work.
Even before he has become President, Trump has saved over 1,000 jobs at Carrier which Obama said could not be done. Trump has also obtained a commitment for 50,000 new jobs and an investment of 50 billion dollars for new start-up companies from a Japanese businessman.
Other companies are talking about staying or moving to the U.S. because of the promise of a friendlier business climate. The Stock market has reached record highs and now Trump’s approval rating has reached 50 percent and this in spite of the negative news bias. Just think of how his approval ratings would climb if the news actually reported about him objectively.
