The New York Post has endorsed Donald J. Trump for president in an editorial released at midnight on Thursday.

The reasons stated by the publication are stated as: 

• A secure border and a sensible immigration system.
• Safer cities and support for law and order. 
• A thriving, low-tax and low-regulation economy for all — fueled by an energy policy that supports, not penalizes, industry and households. 
• Common-sense policies that restore the power of parents to choose what is best for their children on school choice, gender surgery and trans athletes playing in female sports. 
• An America that’s respected on the world stage — feared by our enemies and trusted by our allies.

The editorial, penned by the NYP editorial board, makes the case that America was better off in the four years during the first Trump presidency, than it has been under Harris-Biden, citing the economy, employment, the border, and peace throughout the world:

"If history is any guide, the track records of the last two administrations provide a clearly comparable record. 

"To borrow from Ronald Reagan’s famous 'Are you better off now than you were four years ago?': Voters should ask themselves if they were better off under Trump or Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.  

"His opponents focus on how Trump’s administration was marked by a relentless soap opera of high drama and chaos — much of which they fueled. 

"And yes, many find him offensive — and we say fair enough: He can be ridiculously hyperbolic. 

"But before COVID wreaked havoc across the globe, Trump’s first-term results were paychecks that grew markedly faster than inflation, the lowest unemployment in 50 years, a secure border and peace overseas."
