Armstrong Williams seems to be stretching a bit to find more things to applaud President Donald Trump with as goes after Joe Biden’s stance on gender identification on passports (“Armstrong Williams: Trump offers needed course correction to Biden’s migrant document policy,” Feb. 8).
Only 18 countries worldwide allow “X” to indicate gender on their paperwork and approximately only 51% of United States citizens have a valid passport. His column is fraught with stoking fear that these identifying as X and then entering the country will, of course, be terrorists. I have a hard time remembering the last time it was someone who was trans or pretending to be trans who shot up a school, church or military base and let us not forget 9/11.
Trump’s edict is just to pander to his base who just cannot seem to let people who do not look like them alone. Why did Williams not write about Elon Musk? Trump just watches as Musk devote himself to deriding our democracy, viewing our private information and dismantling every institution that keeps our country going. Sorry, Armstrong Williams, but you need, as they say, a new “shtick.”
