Pittsburgh newspaper backs Trump in first GOP presidential endorsement since 1972

What perfect timing. Every little bit helps.

While the editorial board said it preferred the "first-class temperament and demeanor" of former world leaders such as Winston Churchill, Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama, it endorsed Trump on the basis of the pre-COVID-19 economy, his Supreme Court nominees and his work in the energy industry, a key sector in the western Pennsylvania region.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette endorses Trump for handling of economy; first GOP presidential endorsement since 1972

"Under Donald Trump the economy, pre-COVID, boomed, like no time since the 1950s. Look at your 401(k) over the past three years," the board wrote.

"Under Donald Trump the economy, pre-COVID, boomed, like no time since the 1950s. Look at your 401(k) over the past three years," the board wrote. "Unemployment for Black Americans is lower than it has ever been, under any president of either party."

The paper also declared that Trump "moved the debate, in both parties, from free trade, totally unfettered, to managed, or fair, trade."

"He has put America first, just as he said he would," the Post-Gazette said.

The paper had not endorsed a Republican running for president since 1972.

It also said that Trump "achieved energy independence for the first time in the liftetimes of most of us."

"Thanks to him, middle America is on the map again and the Appalachian and hourly worker has some hope," the paper added. "Has Mr. Trump done enough for these struggling fellow citizens? No. But he recognized them. Maybe he was not articulate, but he recognized their pain."
