The big need today is to lower crime rates - especially murders in our cities.
Releasing felons early is not high on my my priority list. I wish Trump had talked about locking up all the criminals who are causing havoc in Chicago, Oakland, etc, instead of bragging that he’s released more felons than Obama did
We know he is going to be sensible about the criminal business.
People are wild about this. You want perfection?
The president has to see things your way on every issue?
You really think trump is soft on crime?
He’s calling his opponent a corrupt politician and a criminal in mic. To the world
We have him or Biden Harris. Let him drive voters away from them.
“The big need today is to lower crime rates - especially murders in our cities.”
1) Making sure that communities (ethnic or otherwise) have a serious and realistic opportunity for upward social/economic mobility - and this requires better education, less economically-restrictive laws and regulations, and an economy that doesn’t rush to close down factories and have replacement ones set up in foreign countries to save 10% of the cost of goods; and
2) Making sure that you enhance the strength of the nuclear family - and a lot of that is in withdrawing or cutting back on the legal and monetary means for people (almost always men) to simply walk away from their kids and the mothers of those kids; the moral component of being responsible and being faithful cannot be done at the government level...but it can be encouraged by political leaders.
As I look at things, Donald Trump has done an awful lot on the opportunity front, and at least (with some fits and starts, and certainly less emphasis than on the economic end) begun to address the family end of things. For only having been around to affect things for 4 years, he’s done a fantastic job, better than literally anyone in modern political history (and, yes, I think that it is factually true that he’s done more for the black community than any President since Lincoln - though Lincoln clearly did more just by literally freeing them from slavery). I also am certain that a LOT of people in the black community have noticed...and compared his actions with the decades-long empty rhetoric of the Democrats. That is why, for the first time in anyone’s lifetime, we are seeing a solid and sizeable movement of black support away from the Dems and to the Republicans (or at least to Trump because of his actions and their effects - what happens after 1/20/2025 is anyone’s guess, but at least the seeds of a permanent realignment have been planted and appear to be sprouting).
