PRESIDENT TRUMP ON TRACK

Andrew Biggs and a PostBag contributor named JC blithely use phrases about the US President such as “buffoon” and “dummy-spitting imbecile” to describe Mr Trump. The US economy is finally on the rebound in a big way after eight years of no growth during the reign of a smooth talking do-nothing Barack Obama. I suppose I’m one of JC’s buffoons because I voted for Mr Trump instead of Hillary Clinton, who would have given us four more years of a lethargic economy and continued treachery in the Department of Justice and State.

I’ll paraphrase Harry Truman here: “Anyone who enters politics poor and comes out rich is probably a crook.” Ring a bell? I think I prefer a person who comes in rich, doesn’t take a salary and has the best interests of his or her country at heart.

In just one year the current US administration has rolled back taxes, made the United States energy-independent, put terrorists on notice, drastically reduced regulations, sown the seeds to fix a broken immigration system, put a strict constitutionalist on the Supreme Court and made a legion of other very important changes in our government.

Our military is finally being properly funded and the world should be thankful for that. All of this done democratically. This drivel spouted by the likes of Biggs and JC is just that — drivel. Richard Rees Hua Hin
