As a subscriber to the (print) Post and steady reader, the decision not to endorse struck me as bizarrely coy. Day after day the A section was full of news articles that more or less labeled Donald Trump a fool, liar, and dangerous man. Yes, OK, so now why not endorse his opponent?

It was meant to increase trust. Why should a trump supporter trust a newspaper that endorses his opponent? Better to leave that up to the reader.

Now I just have to imagine a Trump supporter who trusts The Washington Post. It was not always easy to find a Bush 41 supporter who trusted it.

Increase trust by a last minute break with tradition forced by executives who then had their sibling rocket company (Blue Origin) go meet, the same day, with the candidate they just helped?
