This letter is in response to: Trump’s Executive Orders: 2025 Edition

Dear Chronicle Gods,

I read this article and was quite interested in many of the things that it had to say, even though I already knew about a majority of these executive orders. I do, however, have a couple of questions/comments. I was under the impression that in general The Chronicle is a neutral news/article group in regards to political standing, correct?

First of all, I understand and fully agree with the things said in the article, and in most senses against a lot of Trump’s decisions, but with that said, I feel like this article does present a bias. I felt like the article was already stacked up against Trump and his decisions, mostly because of the verbage used. I think that the “implications” section conveys that none of his decisions could result in anything good and the word choice in these sections adds to that. I also think that the sections that maybe (emphasis on maybe) try to show the positive side of the orders–the “Trump’s ‘why?'” sections–have an odd tone by using “thinks” and “claims” to try and disprove any good reasoning Trump would have. I do not think the “Trump’s ‘why?'” problem was bad throughout the whole article, just in a couple of places.

Overall, still a good article, and great drawing!

Thank you,

Charlie Cowan
