As someone about Trump’s age, I find it easy to believe his explanation as to why he’s running.

I’ve agonized over the America we are leaving for my own children and grandchildren to live in and raise their families in. Most Freepers here probably feel the same way.

America hardly resembles the one I grew up in. It’s but a shadow of its former self, with freedoms, successes, with respect from our friends, and fear of us by our enemies, all but non-existent.

Trump said he was running so that his family wouldn’t look at him, knowing he could have fixed it, but didn’t.

His own story of building the Trump Organization shows that he knows how to build great empires. Now he wants to make all of America great again.

I think we are but the lucky side beneficiaries.

Do you honestly think you have the experience at your age to be president? I think he is 45.

I ask this in all honesty reaching 40 I find myself more confident in my beliefs but I also can see that there is more to achieve before I start spouting leadership stuff on that type of scale.

All of a sudden 45 seems young.

Where you stand is usually pretty close to where you sit I suppose

“America hardly resembles the one I grew up in.”Man, tell me about it ... I’m almost terrified of what I see happening - especially the cultural decay. Sometimes I wish I was born 50 years earlier, just so I would not have to witness the fall. I sure hope Trump is the real deal. This is our last shot at recovering this nation - and I am not joking.
