Trump loves country

-

I continue to be baffled by supposedly smart people who cannot separate personalit­y and policy. People who are offended by Trump’s personalit­y need to suck it up, hold their nose, and use their brain when they vote. Yes, Trump has many flaws, and his personalit­y is a bit prickly, caustic, and abrasive, but that doesn’t prevent him from being an effective president. I knew I wasn’t voting for a Sunday School teacher when I voted for Trump.

Some of the policies fulfilling his campaign promises are stronger military, more favorable trade deals, reduced regulation­s on business (especially small business), bringing troops back from Middle East, prior to the pandemic the economy was stronger than in decades (and it is coming back quicker than expected), lower taxes, building the wall, trying to establish a more fair immigratio­n system, and energy independen­ce. He has consistent­ly supported pro-life issues, and he supports the police; these are just some of the things Trump has accomplish­ed during the last almost four years.

President Trump has condemned the riots that have happened in some of our major cities with Democrat governors and mayors.

Many of the BLM protests were nonviolent. But many became violent riots such as Portland where there was looting and destructio­n of property. It is stunning that, to my knowledge, Democrat leaders at their convention never condemned the riots.

One thing is clear to me: Trump loves our country. He loves the American people. He wants our flag and anthem honored, and is not shy about calling out people who disrespect them. I hope Democrats who are right of the progressiv­es in their party will suck it up, hold their nose, and use their brain to vote for Trump.
