I guess I don’t understand the concern about Trump’s candidacy. He’s locked in on the anger of Americans and is plain-speaking, which is what we’ve been sorely missing.
I think many people live in this bubble where America only sort of existed as a global entity in the 20th century. There were sober men among presidents in the 20th century including (Teddy) Roosevelt, Coolidge, Truman, Eisenhower and Reagan. There were revolutionaries including Wilson, FDR, and LBJ. It was only in the last 30 years, however, that media presence was a big deal insomuch as we’ve had presidents who were obese, drunk, misogynist, and racist, but they were still elected.
I’m not saying that Trump is any of these things, but I think it’s time we have a president who calls back to old world ideas while not afraid to shoot from the hip. I’m tired of the politically correct bullshit we’re fed from Washington, and I think most Americans are seeing that as well.
I finally agreed with an observation by George Will of Trump yesterday, when he noted that people are supporting Trump because they're tired of the "suffocating PC and synthetic outrage" expressed by MSM and the punditry every time Trump speaks his mind.
I would add that we're also tired of career politicians! In fact, we're damn sick and tired of career politicians who say wonderful things in election years, but never follow through once we return them to Washington, DC.
I'm coming around to believe that perhaps this government actually needs a successful businessman at the helm. The career pols have proved they can't handle our money. $18 Trillion debt and growing by the minute!
The "concerns" about his candidacy have to do with his allegiance to the Republican Party, because he was previously a registered democrat and has donated to both parties. Allegiance to the Republican Party...lol. What party? McConnell's party? Boehner's party?
Also whether or not he's a conservative, or conservative enough and on which issues.
I know this for certain: Mr. Donald Trump loves our country. He doesn't need the job, and there for a while I wasn't sure that he wanted the job.
I'm sure now. He's all in. He's using his own money and he doesn't need the grief that comes with running for POTUS. Plus, his life is on the line and he's providing his own security, too.
I can't begin to imagine the threats he must be receiving.
God bless.
