Some of you have read the odd journey that brought me to support Trump. I was praying for a miracle to rescue this country from socialists, power hungry liberals and false patriots.
I had decided to vote for Evan McMullin but felt bad about it. I noticed more and more that he had no platform other than “not Trump”. His slogan, “a vote for the lesser of two evils is still evil,” started to bug me. Voting for the lesser of three evils is still evil, too and I realized that Evan didn’t have any plans or any intention of winning anything.
I kept praying and then one day I heard some little sound byte on the radio about the contents of Hillary’s emails that made me think, “What we need in this country is an outsider. . .somebody that doesn’t owe anybody anything and someone who doesn’t care what the heck the media or anybody else says about him. The candidate was obvious enough. I decided to vote for him. Considering my former aversion toward Trump, I was oddly at peace. I didn’t really mind voting for him. I felt completely confident that it was the right thing. ODD!
I am still put off by his mannerism. I’m put off by his appearance, (shallow, I know). But I’m impressed by his leadership. His inauguration speech was bold and specific and proved that he didn’t care what the spin doctors said. He seems to have a clear understanding of what America’s issues are and what needs to happen. I have begun to believe that he intends to follow through with his promised priorities. I also think it’s funny to see how the media tries to pin accusations against him and he doesn’t care. They are complaining now that he’s delaying some of the promises he made about what he’s going to do on “day 1”. But he’s wise enough to realize that complex issues need study and thought and wise advice. Are they REALLY complaining that he’s not taking the bull in the china shop approach he seemed to intend?
The most ignorant of his critics are horrified that he’s appointing wealthy people to posts of responsibility. If YOU had trillions of dollars and almost as many national issues to manage, wouldn’t you want to find the MOST SUCCESSFUL people available to you? If you had a million dollars in your personal bank account, would you hire a poor man to manage it? If you had a brain tumor, would you want a nice humble new college graduate to take it out? I’d want the most successful money manager. I’d want the best, most sought after brain surgeon. Show me a poor man that has been highly successful in a field related to a cabinet position. Good management and wise choices bring prosperity.
I think Donald Trump is going to be a great president. I think he’ll boldly cut out the infection and corruption everywhere he finds it. He’ll manage this land in a way that has been needed for many decades.
Best of all, he doesn’t care who approves. He’s got something I didn’t see at all at first. He’s staunchly patriotic. He loves this land and he’ll give everything he has to fix it’s gargantuan problems. I firmly believe that at the end of the next four years, every class and color of Americans will be better off. I believe those living outside the law will be called to account. I believe that charitable giving and volunteering will gain back the ground that it lost in recent years.
I’m hopeful. I’m proud to be an American!
