Pittsburgh Post-Gazette endorses Trump for handling of economy; first GOP presidential endorsement since 1972The editorial board of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette announced its endorsement of President Trump, praising the commander in chief's record on the economy and China.
"Under Donald Trump the economy, pre-COVID, boomed, like no time since the 1950s. Look at your 401(k) over the past three years," the board wrote. "Unemployment for Black Americans is lower than it has ever been, under any president of either party."
The paper also declared that Trump "moved the debate, in both parties, from free trade, totally unfettered, to managed, or fair, trade."
"He has put America first, just as he said he would," the Post-Gazette said.
The paper had not endorsed a Republican running for president since 1972.
It also said that Trump "achieved energy independence for the first time in the liftetimes of most of us."
"Thanks to him, middle America is on the map again and the Appalachian and hourly worker has some hope," the paper added. "Has Mr. Trump done enough for these struggling fellow citizens? No. But he recognized them. Maybe he was not articulate, but he recognized their pain.".........
