Trump was stupid, but not racist or misogynistic 

Re: “Sympathy for US media”, Letters, November 14. 

To state that it is wrong to have millions of illegal Mexican aliens swarming across the border or that terrorists are sneaking in under the guise of legal Muslim immigration does not qualify as racism, as Eric Bahrt claims. 
To state that this woman is ugly, or that another is stupid, does not qualify as misogyny. Neither does believing that women are attractive and talking about being close to them. It only becomes misogynistic when the woman decides that the man committing the act is not “the right man”.
Donald Trump did say some pretty stupid things during that campaign, but unfortunately – or maybe luckily – a lot of people just didn’t trust Hillary Clinton. 
It’s over, Eric. Learn to live with it. And, by the way, you forgot to label Trump homophobic, xenophobic, schizophrenic, manic-depressive and a few others. Not very efficient of you.
