Our Endorsement: 25 Reasons To Re-Elect President Trump

We're told that political opinions are like a certain part of the human anatomy: Everyone has them and they all stink.

But the opinions of the far left in this country are especially stinky nowadays.

That's one reason why we are once again endorsing Donald J. Trump for president, just as we did in 2016. (For the record, the staff vote was unanimous, 6-0.)

But providing just one reason for such an important decision is insufficient. That's why we are giving you, our readers, 25 reasons why you, too, should consider voting to re-elect the president. They are as follows:

1. You believe America is not only the greatest nation known to man -- the one your fathers and grandfathers fought for -- but that it's also the last great hope for mankind. 
   
   
2. You don't want America to be fundamentally transformed, and you don't want your daily life ruled by heavy-handed elites in DC.
   
   
3. You believe in the free market, capitalism, and letting people keep what they earn.
   
   
4.  You believe America is at its best when people are free.
   
   
5. You don't wish to reward anarchists and rioters who've terrorized American cities (and even some rural areas) throughout much of 2020.
   
   
6. You believe China is a geopolitical and economic threat to America, and must be kept in check.
   
   
7. You believe that big tech (social media, Google, etc.) and the news media meddling in our elections is just as dangerous as interference by a foreign nation. 
   
   
8. You don't want the New York Times, Washington Post, or ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN/MSNBC running the country.
   
   
9. You want to send a clear message to those who openly detest America and its values that they're in the wrong.
   
   
10. You reject extreme environmentalism, wealth redistribution, and the opposition to Western Civilization -- all of which have become like a religion to the radical left.
    
    
11. You'd like to see justice brought to Obama-era officials who fabricated a story and divided a nation for the sake of impeachment.
    
    
12. You think America's energy independence is a good thing for the nation's consumers and its military men and women.
    
    
13. You support law and order, including our police officers.
    
    
14. You support freedom of religion.
    
    
15. You believe that conservatives and traditional Americans have every right to express their opinions, too -- even on college campuses and in the classroom.
    
    
16. You don't want to see one-party, tyrannical rule come to America, as Democrats have promised.
    
    
17. You think federal taxes are already high enough.
    
    
18. You believe that while Trump may be brash, Biden is corrupt and Harris is a power-hungry socialist (or worse).
    
    
19. You believe the left-wing, activist news media are 1,000 times the bully that President Trump is on his worst day.
    
    
20. You want to see the unelected "deep state" chased out of the swamp.
    
    
21. You have a bigger problem with talk of Marxist policies and mob rule than you do with Trump's frank talk.
    
    
22. You're tired of the sermons from academics, celebrities, and elites about how privileged you are and how racist America is.
    
    
23. You believe individuals -- not the government -- are responsible for their success, as well as their choices.
    
    
24. You think politicians should be intelligent enough not to play the race card or engage in class warfare.
    
    
25. You think some real life needs to confront those Americans who've been indoctrinated to hate their own country -- and that it's time to reform U.S. education so we have more knowledgeable, productive, responsible, and capable citizens.

For these reasons and more, the Times staff is voting for the re-election of Donald Trump on November 3. We hope you will as well.
