Trumping Tronc
President Donald Trump hasn’t been drawing much support from the traditionally Republican San Diego establishment, much of which derives a big chunk of change from its free-trading ties to Tijuana and cheap manufacturing. Another component of the city’s ebbing GOP passion has been 2015’s transfer of control of the Union-Tribune from Republican kingpin Doug Manchester to the Chicago-based newspaper chain now known as tronc, which has allowed the paper’s editorialists to veer left, including backing Hillary Clinton’s ill-fated presidential bid. “It was the first time since the founding of The San Diego Union in 1868 that the editorial board had endorsed a Democrat for president,” noted the paper’s opinion chief Matt Hall.
