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.

I am a bit older than Trump at 93 but hate what has happened to my country I love and gave 5+ years of my life fighting for in WW2——America gave the world some 70 years of relative peace along with a strong economy where folks could work and climb the ladder of the American Dream if they wished-—we gave th world, especially our enemies of WW2, a hand up and helped rebuild their countries as well-—we also knew that men were men and women were wemon along with the joy of knowing the difference-—many of my countrymen believd this country was founded on Christian Principles and prayed for it every week-—now, look at what we have-—no longer can our children salute the flag (for which many died protecting) or say a prayer to their Creator in a schoolroom ——our people are divided by a political class that hates this country and has changed who we are, what we are told to believe, lies about the glory and decency that was America, prays for our destruction-—We, the People, have let this happen by not picking leaders that were honest, decent, God fearing and loving the America so many fought and some died for over more than 200 years—Now, we have ONE (1) chance to make a change—I beg you do not ‘screw it up”, since I have 40 grand and great grandchildren who must live with what you do-—cheers
