My position on Donald Trump: Make no mistake ... I'm not posting this for debate. I don’t seek or need commentary. It's okay if you don't agree because we are all entitled to our own opinions. Just consider this ... when you think the President is a jerk; he is. He’s a New Yorker ... a QUEENS New Yorker. He’s crude and can be rude. He gets his feelings hurt and he’s a hothead. He hits back - harder. He's made mistakes morally, personally, and professionally - who hasn't?!? He's done things I don't agree with - all politicians have and still do. The media hates it when he tweets. Why? Because he goes around the main stream media and gets information out that they don’t want to report. Let me tell you what else: He is a guy who demands performance. If you don't work as hard as he does, you're fired! He is a guy who asks lots of questions. The questions he asks aren’t cloaked in fancy “political” phrases ... they are “why the hell ...” questions. He doesn't structure his phrases so that anyone can misconstrue or misinterpret what he says. He is abrupt and to the point ... how many of us are the same way every day? He is both harsh and kind ... most disciplinarians are. For decades the health industry has thrown away billions of face masks after one use. Trump asks, “Why the hell are we throwing them away? Why not sterilize them and use them numerous times?” They called him stupid. But what are they doing now? Sterilizing face masks. He’s the guy who gets hospital ships readied in one week when it would have taken bureaucrats weeks or months to get it done. He’s the guy who gets temporary hospitals built in three days. They said there was no way he could do it. He’s the guy who gets auto industries to restructure to build ventilators in a business that’s highly regulated by agencies that move like sloths. He’s the guy who asks “Why aren’t we using drugs that might work on people who are dying; what the hell do we have to lose?” He’s the guy who restricted travel from China when the Democrats and liberal media were screaming “xenophobia” and “racist” ... now they’re wanting to know why he didn't react sooner. He’s the guy who campaigned on securing the border - protecting America - in the face of screaming Democrats and the liberal media. (Both Clinton and Obama talked about a crisis at the border and Obama did some things to address the crisis, but they all proved to be insufficient.) When Trump shut down borders in the midst of the coronavirus virus, they screamed louder. Then the rest of the world followed suit, including the European Union with travel between their member countries. His policy is always 'America First.' For many years we have complained about sending billions abroad while Americans suffer here. He's minimized that outflow of money. Has he made mistakes? Yes. Everyone I know has and does. The “experts” wouldn’t and haven’t done any better. Does he change his mind? Yes, who doesn't? Trump is working harder than I’ve ever seen a President work ... twenty-four-hour days .. even when they complain that he takes vacations, he's at Maralago ... working. He isn’t hiding in his office ... he’s out front - briefing, answering countless, nonstop questions - every day. When Trump offers hope, they say he’s lying; and when he’s straight forward, they say he should be hopeful. It’s a no-win situation with the main stream media and left wing liberals, but he will not be deterred. And when the main stream and social media gaslight with "soundbites," look at the whole context ... it's almost always a completely different picture than what's being painted. I’ll take this kind of leadership six days a week and twice on Sunday over a “polished, nice guy” politician who reads prepared speeches from a teleprompter and answers pre-scripted questions. He is my President.📷📷📷 Copy and share if you agree. If you don't agree, that's okay, too. We are all entitled to our opinions, and this is mine.
