Re Steve Kramer’s Feb. 5 letter “Let’s hear from Trump supporters suffering from buyer’s remorse’’: OK, so here’s my response, Mr. Kramer. Your letter is another indication that when we do speak, you don’t listen. Not all of us “simply wanted to send a message’’ when we voted. We specifically did not want Hillary Clinton and her policies.

Very few supporters of Donald Trump have buyer’s remorse. Kramer assumes that we voted wrongly and must have been mistaken because it wasn’t how he voted. I am so tired of reading the so-called liberal elite expressing how any opinion but their own must be foolish and misguided. Kramer uses words such as “petty,’’ “unsophisticated,’’ and “narcissistic’’ to describe Trump. He seems comfortable belittling and vilifying others for their beliefs — isn’t that the sign of a bully?

Perhaps many of the voters who swept Trump into office were “tired of traditional rhetoric from those who promised but never delivered,’’ and hoped for a candidate who would “provide the change they had sought for many years.’’ Yes, President Trump is certainly doing exactly what he stated on the campaign trail, so no surprise or empty promises there. No buyer’s remorse either.

Where are the facts behind Kramer’s statement that “many Republicans have already withdrawn support’’ from Trump? I think what’s really true is that Kramer can’t stand the idea of people seeing the direction of the country through a different lens than his.
