As I scanned the Press Herald’s business section March 6 (Page C1), I was puzzled by the headlines of three articles on the page before me.

One was “Deficit grew 77% in first 4 months of fiscal 2019.” Another was “U.S. lags 60 nations in how it treats working women,” and the third was “Bill protects staff when companies go bankrupt.”

I’ve read and counted on the Press Herald (and Evening Express) all my life for news and information. So, I guess my vote would be to rely on the Press Herald and fie on Mr. Trump and his enablers.
