The Signal

A thanks to Trump

- Betty Arenson Valencia

Editor’s note: The following letter was addressed to President Trump and copied to The Signal for publicatio­n.

Within about three weeks of your presidency, you have signed executive orders and presidenti­al memorandum­s addressing trade, jobs, defunding internatio­nal abortions and reversing failed policies of the previous administra­tion.

You are keeping your campaign promises to keep America safe, and you yank unaffordab­le health care and insurance from the jaws of the lies about Obamacare.

The recent Politco-Morning Consult poll tells that 55 percent (vs. 38 percent) of Americans approved of your temporary travel ban and 47

percent want to cut regulation­s (vs. 33 percent who don’t).

You have met with and/or spoken with world leaders to forge relationsh­ips on behalf of America, including welcoming Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and British Prime Minister Theresa May.

Thank you for your sage picks of capable people to form your Cabinet. The diversity of your choices is to be applauded.

You have selected Nikki Haley (Indian-American) for UN Ambassador, Elaine Chao (Chinese-American) as Transporta­tion Secretary and Dr. Ben Carson (African-American) to head the Department of Housing and Urban Developmen­t, along with Ms. Seema Verma (Indian-American) for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid. George Conway (Filipino descent) is considered for solicitor general.

The criticisms of school choice advocate Betsy DeVoss for education secretary for allegedly having no “educationa­l experience” ring hollow.

The California intellectu­als chose Janet Napolitano to be the head of the state’s entire UC system. She clearly was without “educationa­l experience.”

You are a proven business man, and what bigger business is there than running America’s government?

Nearly 63 million people voted for you who are thoroughly relieved with your win and so grateful for the break in America’s nose-dive of the past eight years.

Thank you, Mr. President.
