Attackers of Donald Trump are the reason he’s so popular

As one of the few conservatives who still receives and reads The Tribune, I occasionally write a letter offering a different opinion than The Tribune’s normal liberal articles. Lately, I have been so overwhelmed with the volume of insane articles on such things as the need for more diversity, perceived harassment and the grievance industry complaining about everything, plus the daily anti-Trump rhetoric, that I have felt it useless to write a response.

But on Easter Sunday, after reading about the California Legislature caving to the unions and approving a $15-an-hour minimum wage, and a California city “Paying off felons to curb gun crime,” I read Tom Fulks’ commentary (“Trump supporters are showing their true colors”), which sent me over the top and proves “the inmates are running the asylum.”

The ultra-liberal Tom Fulks writes, “Thank you, fascist-supporting Trump voters, for crawling from under your rocks,” and he compares Trump to Hitler. The rest of the article gets worse! What Tom Fulks and his supporters don’t understand is they are exactly why Trump has become so popular. Most people are fed up with the way America is headed. We have had enough of the politically correct elitists like Fulks.
