Letter: ​Trump article lacked UNC representation

TO THE EDITOR:

When I saw The Daily Tar Heel front cover had a “Make America Great Again” hat on it, I immediately picked it up, very surprised that a pro-Trump article would make the front page. Seeing the phrase “fitting in” in the headline made me hopeful that maybe the DTH had finally printed a pro-Trump article. I dove into the article while walking to class, even though I was running late, and was immediately disappointed. The part of the story that was featured on the front page was an interview with an N.C. State student. I had hoped that this article would have shed light on the Trump supporters at UNC and how their opinion needs to be heard, and while I do appreciate that this is the final message of this article, I somehow felt more ostracized that the DTH could not even find three Trump supporters on UNC’s campus, and that two out of the three people interviewed were from N.C. State.
