Letters to editor for Saturday, May 1, 2021 Letter writers Contrasts from the US presidency President Biden has worked to slow the rate of COVID-19 deaths, which had accelerated during Trump's term. Biden’s speech to mark his first 100 days in office was filled with hope and realistic goals for repairing decay of infrastructure, government institutions, foreign relations and disrespect for the rule of law. In contrast, Trump had led the chant “Lock her up, lock her up” at his (2016) rallies, stirring his crowd to frenzy. Trump sued in states to overturn Biden’s win. Judges, even those appointed by Trump, ruled the suits to be without merit.
