To the Editor:

“Energy in the executive is the leading character in the definition of good government.”

– Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 70

 
President Donald J. Trump is energetically doing exactly what he said he was going to do. Why do you find that so surprising? (“This isn’t ‘efficiency’ – it’s casual destruction,” Feb 20)
Perhaps it is because you have become accustomed to career politicians like Joe Biden who will say one thing and do another once elected? Or possibly you’re more comfortable with a congressional relic like Jack Reed whose primary goal is preserving political power?
I find it refreshing that Donald Trump does not operate in the mode of a crooked Joe Biden or a fossilized Jack Reed. Trump tells you what he’s going to do and he does it. Trump gets things done.
President Trump, aided by Elon Musk, is striving mightily to clean up the terrible mess left us by the disastrous Biden administration. Your histrionic editorial only serves to make that task more difficult.
Donald Trump, our patriotic president, is vigorously working to make America great again. You may have a problem with that, but I sure don’t.
