Four more years of Schwab’s anti-Trump columns?

For a decade now, I have checked on a weekly basis to see what Herald Columnist Sid Schwab has to say. He and I have some similar history (Vietnam vets), yet in our old age there couldn’t be a greater distance. I think I am a fairly sensible person, not given to the insanity I see on the left. Schwab is obsessed with “Trump is bad.” Every week it is “Trump is bad.” It didn’t matter if Trump was in office or not. “Trump is bad.”

With the Republicans’ amazing victory over the lunatic left, I can safely predict, Schwab will tirelessly continue to tell us, “Trump is bad.”

Here’s a thought, Sid. Try writing about something else. Show me you can recover from the Trump Derangement Syndrome. Or is this an incurable psychosis?
