I dont know, but they certainly arent the only paper endorsing Trump

Those outlets are the propaganda arm of the right wing donor class guys like Murdoch and Adelson.

"Geez, I have no idea who to vote for.  I'll guess I'll go with Trump because the Washington Times endorsed him."

Why did they endorse Trump, YG?

President Trump has enabled, encouraged, and laid the necessary groundwork for the best economy in 40 years.

In 2019, the labor market was the strongest in modern times. The largest number of Americans (159 million) were employed ever. The U.S. had the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years (3.5%) and had record or near record high employment rates for Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, women, high school grads, the handicapped, and veterans.


Median family income rose 6.8% in 2019, the largest one-year increase on record going back to 1967, and settled at a record high of $68,700

Mr. Trump came to office with a clear understanding that trade and immigration policies over the last 40 years had worked to destroy manufacturing in the United States and to offshore jobs or suppress the wages paid to American workers.

He cancelled the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, renegotiated NAFTA, and created the USMCA, and has not hesitated to engage other nations — especially China — with tariffs when necessary.

With respect to immigration, it is safe to say that Mr. Trump is the first President ever to take enforcement of our immigration laws seriously

Mr. Trump reoriented American foreign policy towards addressing the generational challenge posed by the communists in China.

He has shrunk, rather than expanded, American involvement in nettlesome and pointless conflicts.

He took swift and decisive action against adversaries such as Qassim Soleimani and Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, who were responsible for killing Americans and destabilizing the Middle East

Mr. Trump’s leadership has resulted in Arab nations normalizing relations with Israel, the most significant breakthrough in the Middle East since the end of World War II.

He rebalanced military alliances that had become over-reliant on American power and American contributions.

He rebuilt a military struggling after 15 years of nonstop combat.

He rejuvenated NASA, reemphasized the necessity of American space efforts, and created the Space Forc

Wow!  What a great President!!!

[kiidcarter8]

Mr. Trump has remade the federal judiciary with constitutionalist judges and justices who understand their proper role in our balance of power. More than 215 judges have been nominated and confirmed, including 3 Supreme Court judges.

There are now a majority of judges appointed by Republicans in seven of the 13 federal appellate circuits.


If the president is given another four years, the likelihood is that by 2025 there will be a majority of Republican-appointed judges in all 13 circuits

Mr. Trump achieved tax reform.

The provisions of this reform — lower corporate tax rates, expensing, and eliminating penalties for repatriating cash — have been essential in improving the economy of the nation and the personal prosperity of its citizens. Individual taxpayers were helped by the elimination of Obamacare’s individual mandate, as well as the reduced deductibility of state and local taxes, which means that residents from well-functioning, low-tax States no longer subsidize residents of high-tax, poorly-run state

[kiidcarter8]

Mr. Trump changed the regulatory regimes in areas as different and important as automobiles, telecommunications and environmental improvement.

His efforts have preserved Americans’ choices in determining what is best for them, saved households hundreds of dollars in regulatory costs each year, ensured energy independence, and reduced the intrusion of the government in the lives of American citizens.

[kiidcarter8]

Mr. Trump has done more for the Black community than any president since Johnson.

Criminal justice reform, permanent funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities HBCUs, and the creation of Opportunity Zones work to ensure an America in which everyone has the opportunity to excel

[Yankguy1]

If you are liar, racist, fascist or a Republican by all means vote for him. 

Which brings me back to the original question.  Who cares who the Washington Times endorses?

[kiidcarter8]

In just the past year alone, Mr. Trump has faced an unprecedented array of catastrophes, any one of which could have sunk his presidency — none more frightening than the global pandemic, which began while Washington was ground to a halt by a hotly partisan and unjustified impeachment trial.

By every metric, the president has met the challenge as best as possible. He took swift action to delay the onslaught of the virus. He made difficult decisions to slow the spread, giving hospitals crucial time to prepare. He utilized federal powers and resources to ramp up testing and provide necessary medical equipment and develop therapeutics that have massively lessened the mortality rate of the plague.

Why did they endorse Trump, YG?

Sun Myung Moon wasn't running this year.

You should use that as your tag line.
