That piece (Edward Bell, 4/18) contained, in six paragraphs, acknowledgement that Donald Trump is President and nothing whatsoever about his accomplishments.

This piece also contains nothing whatsoever about the current President's accomplishments, aside from acknowledging that they exist aside him.

Pray tell, what exactly is this line of Letters To The Editors speaking out in defense of? We now know who the President is, and that he has done something worth defending - and what is that? Two separate people have established that something exists, yet can't be bothered to specify what it is.

Is that what a defense of someone consists of in 2017? Can I defend Mr. Bell's and Ms. Funk's accomplishments by acknowledging that they both exist and then attacking (for example) Gov. Dixy Lee Ray's record?
