Mr. Ruff is certainly entitled to his opinion about Trump (“We need a real leader,” Salt Lake Tribune, May 19). But the same adjectives he uses to describe this president could have also been used for President Obama.

The real difference between the two leaders is that Trump didn’t weaponize the IRS, the CIA or the FBI like Obama did. The media has spent over three and a half years trying to smother Trump with one false narrative after another.

I don’t expect people like Mr. Ruff to accept this as fact and frankly I don’t care. Again, he’s entitled to his opinion.
