Think Donald Trump wouldn’t do well in office? Think again. Yes, he has a tendency to speak without thinking and he’s embarrassed himself on more than a couple of occasions. Plus, we all thought this was just a publicity stunt. However, what we may not realize is that Trump may bring some needed change to the country.
13. Trump gets it. He believes in American exceptionalism, he’s committed to education, an he demands high performance. After all, he has been know to fire anyone that doesn’t meet his high standards. Talk about efficiency.
12. Trump is planning to build a great, great wall (yes–two “greats”) on our southern border between the U.S. and Mexico. The best part? He’s planning to have Mexico pay for that wall, and mark his words, “… I will immediately terminate President Obama’s illegal executive order on immigration.”
Plus, with less authentic delicious Mexican food here in the U.S., obesity rates will probably drop.
11. No one will be tougher on ISIS than Donald Trump. Mostly because Islamic terrorism is eating up large portions of the Middle East and they’ve become rich. They even built a hotel making themselves a direct competitor of Trump Hotel.
10. Trump has a confidence and a self-assured, powerful personality that is perfectly suited for politics. Unlike other politicians who tend to be swayed by lobbyists and special interests, Trump is his own special interest and is unlikely to give that power away to anyone but Trump.
9. Trump is extremely rich, obviously, and his track record for financial success proves that he knows how to build a successful empire. With the U.S. trillions of dollars in debt, this is the sort of leader that might be able to turn it all around.
8. Trump’s loyalty will only be to America and Americans—not any political party, special interest group or foreign entity. Like his slogan reads, “Make America great again!”
7. He has emphasized beliefs in free enterprise and a strong military. He repeatedly highlights his acumen for success, his ability to get things done, and understanding of finances
6. Trump is undeniably a great negotiator, and despite his outrageous public statements in the recent past, he knows how to navigate complex deals and convince a wide variety of industries, businesses, and investors to do what he wants and to work with him to achieve his goals.
5. He loves all races–well, maybe not Mexicans as he referenced them as “criminals, drug dealers, rapists” but we digress; As a president who respects most races, he will hopefully alleviate the recent tensions between police officials and the African American community.
4. Trump isn’t politically correct. He isn’t afraid to say what he thinks, and he can certainly voice an opinion. If he has an issue with you, he will say it to your face. It’d be nice to have a politician in office with that level of transparency.
3. Trump said it himself–he will single-handedly stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons. We aren’t entirely sure how, but he’s Trump; Anything is possible.
2. With more time and focus in the White House, there would be less time to star in his own show, “The Apprentice”, hopefully bringing the ongoing series to a halt. It was good for a season or two, but now it’s just obnoxious.
1. Because he said so.
“I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created, I tell you that. I’ll bring back our jobs from China, from Japan, from Mexico and from so many places. I’ll bring back our money. … Sadly, the American dream is dead. But if I get elected president, I will bring it back bigger and better and stronger than ever before, and we will make America great again.“
Maybe it’s because the ‘whole bench’ is for sale. Face it, none of the ‘conservatives’, even Cruz, has the financial muscle to overcome those who want to maintain the status quo. Trump brings to the table the potential to be ‘his own man’. That ‘potential’ excites many voters. It also scares alot of folk..........
Thanks 11th_VA.
If Trump is elected, it will be fun to watch him deal with a former president who thinks he still has the right and the power to protect and push his own agenda.
1 - 3 are dripping with sarcasm
The rest seem serious enough, though in several cases poorly worded.
Damnit - where is the "like" button?
Cruz for VP. Sessions is already 68.
The Cheap Labor Express is crapping their pants.
They’ve spent billions buying politicians and paying for propaganda.
Trump will put them out of business.
They will use whatever they can to stop Trump.
Good, but he’s not going to be elected. Dump him now.
He would sell advertisements on the wall to offset managing the border - and I would favor that.
Ann as Press Secretary. Priceless. LOL!
He’ll make an entertaining president. Especially when he changes parties. But the habitual flip-floping lying sleaze bag who lives for no other purpose than to offend will most assuredly NOT make a good president. He’ll be awful if he wins, but he’ll probably be a Democrat when he finishes so it’ll interesting.
Intersting read.
But I don’t trust anybody anymore.
That's reason enough to vote for Trump right there. THAT will be fun to watch. Obama still reading from the teleprompter at the UN pushing his commie crap. . and Trump saying, "You're Fired!" or "Shut the .... up!"
What you find “sheer fantasy,” I find “sheer inspirational.”
While I agree Trump may be narcissistic, I find his narcissism to be borne out of confidence and achievement. Not borne out of posh, private school coddling and socialistic teachings. Unlike the 0, who was truly a blank canvas to the American voters, Trump is a true achiever, builder, business man—an epitome of “can-do spirit”. If Trump acts like he has bragging rights, it’s because he not only believes he’s earned it, he HAS earned it.
While I think all the Republican candidates we have far and wide outshine the 0, Trump right now is striking the right cords with Americans. But, if you don’t trust in Trump, then don’t. I don’t. I frankly WON’T trust ANY of them until they actually do what they promise to do. And he/she won’t be able to start earning my trust until he/she gets elected.
Also, frankly, I’m tired of “Conservatives” being “politically correct” hoping to find the “true Conservative”, the “Perfect Conservative.” (Talk about sheer fantasy.) Trump may not be Conservative in many books, but he is resonating with the masses with many no-nonsense, conservative ideas. The 13 reasons stated in this article is perhaps some of many reasons.
Whether Trump will ultimately win or not...We’ll see. I’m just glad he’s making the case for all of us.
Right now, since the primary is still months away, I want someone who can inspire others, including others in “the whole bench,” and not kowtow to the Liberal Media and the Washington Elites. I want someone who can inspire achievement in others, because he himself has achieved. I want someone who can fearlessly voice what the majority of us have been saying and feeling these past 7-plus years in no-nonsense terms.
That person right now happens to be Trump.
yeah, if by 'principled' you mean wholly owned by K street lobbyists and special interest groups.
“Trump is not perfect but those policies are desperately needed and NOW. Not years from now.”
This cannot be emphasized enough.
I neither like nor trust lifelong, pro choice Dem Mister Trump.
*sigh*
