The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s editorial board has endorsed President Donald Trump for re-election, the first time the paper has endorsed a Republican presidential candidate since Richard Nixon in 1972. The endorsement shouldn’t come as a surprise, however, as the editorial direction of the paper has shifted to the right in recent years.
“We share the embarrassment of millions of Americans who are disturbed by the president’s unpresidential manners and character — his rudeness and put-downs and bragging and bending of the truth,” the editorial board wrote. “None of this can be justified. The president’s behavior often has diminished his presidency, and the presidency. Most Americans want a president who makes them proud.”
