You play the cards you’re dealt. Attitude goes a long way in achieving success and Trump’s attitude is positive in a big way. For some people,” impossible” does not exist in their vocabulary. My parents taught me that “difficult” things were relatively easy and that “impossible” just took a lkittle longer to solve. You are correct in that “society” and even culture has changed. Nevertheless, having a president and extended first family who exhibit “Class” in every way will go a long way in returning some semblance of sanity to the crumbling social mores of the country at large. It will be a pleasure to watch the Trump family set high standards for our youth. I also think Trump is going to get some of that government intrusion you speak of out of our lives. I expect stricter adherence to the Constitution and believe that is what he is saying when he stresses Law and Order. I think Trump is a Constitutionalist and will return at least some of the old America to its people, God willing.
I’m on the Trump Train so you’re preaching to the choir. :)
But cards he has been dealt will not be making the game easy for him. Liberalism has weakened the country in myriad ways and Obama has infested the government with incompetent, inept and corrupt political cronies. Granted, it’s not impossible to start turning the country around but there are significant obstacles in the way.
One of which is the amount of US unfunded liabilities which is currently at the breath taking level of $103 TRILLION. As a taxpayer, your share of that burden is an incredible $859,000! This is ruinous in itself, but doesn’t even include your portion of the federal debt which is another $203,000 per taxpayer! Combined, each taxpayer owes more than $1,000,000.00. To say that this is unsustainable is a gross understatement. Trump has to get a handle on this debt.
And of course there is a long litany of other pressing problems that will be on his plate. I don’t envy the man. He is truly facing a “Mission Impossible” scenario.
I strongly agree with you that setting a positive example is a very powerful thing. Trump is a man of accomplishment and his entire family is a class act. One recent article posted on FR has even said they are the New Camelot. We’ll see but I believe that the tone is set at the top and exemplary leadership can go a long way toward changing the mindset of an organization or country.
We already owe him a debt of gratitude for being willing to take on the establishment, the Democrats and their allies in the media. He is looking more and more like the Braveheart of politics.
