Editorial unfairly jabbed President Trump

I was surprised by the "Our View" piece in the Aug. 15 Daily Herald. While centered around terrorism, there is this underlining jabbing of President Trump. Let's see, Trump or POTUS is mentioned six times, the terrorist group responsible for Virginia, none, zero. Like it's somehow Trump's fault, because it took two whole days for him to make a statement. Actually, he made a statement on Friday night, but it didn't include the right words for the left and some members of the right. But, he responded immediately.

So Monday he releases another statement going into detail by naming terrorist groups, something Obama never did. But, still not good enough for the Daily Herald.

Nope. Had to use the words "domestic terrorism" to satisfy them. Funny …. Two days. Terrorism. Took Obama four days before making a statement on Ferguson, and Ferguson was not a onetime event.

Things got worse as days passed. But, Obama was vacationing while Ferguson burned. Even when he made a statement, it did not include the word terrorism. Then there's Benghazi. Hard to find the word terrorism anywhere in there. Took Obama not days, but weeks before he made a true statement. One that did not include the words "some video." Can't recall reading any jabs on the president in "Our view" on those events.

You could probably count on two hands the number of times Obama used the word "terrorism" in eight years. Funny. Two Days.
