Bill Carmichael disingenuously ascribes Donald Trump’s electoral success to “putting  food on the table and keeping families safe while his  opponents obsess over  gender neutral bathrooms and which personal pronoun to  use” (The Yorkshire Post, November 9).

We have come to expect regular manifestations of the US President’s insensitivity, the latest being his blaming local forest mismanagement for the Californian wildfires.

Only as an afterthought did he mention the dreadful loss of life and homelessness.

His apparent insouciance comes from spite over Republican failure in California and the knowledge that he has little to lose.
