LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Give Trump his due

OPINION:

Dizzy Dean’s quote “It ain’t braggin’ if you can do it” calls to mind a truism from ethics 101: A high-minded person says he can do great things if he really can (“The media ice begins to crack a little,” Web, Dec. 25). President Trump has the vision and ability to follow through on campaign promises that very few have in our time. The Islamic State is all but gone from the news; we now have a much-needed tax cut; our relationship with Israel is restored; and we’re out of the Paris Accords and the agreement with Iran. That’s all just for starters — and in the face of unprecedented hostility.

Finally, this year we were encouraged to say “Merry Christmas” freely. Happy New Year to the Washington Times.
