Letter: Why give this abhorrent man so much attention?

(Andrew Harnik | The Associated Press) President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump attend the annual White House Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn of the White House, Monday, April 22, 2019, in Washington.

It’s Easter morning, I open The Tribune, and right there on the front page is this headline, “Trump chides Romney over report remarks,” followed by this lead: “President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Saturday to disparage Sen. Mitt Romney.”

What is so newsworthy about this? Trump disparages everybody. He’s done so throughout his presidency, indeed probably throughout his life.

Why do respectable news outlets like The Tribune continue to give this abhorrent man such attention? It only boosts his inflated ego and may well be the main reason he got elected in the first place.
