It’s almost morning again in America

Where convention­al politician­s left broken promises, President Trump delivered.

Editor’s note: We reached out to the Trump campaign to add his voice to today’s page, but had not received a response by deadline.

It might not seem like it right now, but it’s almost morning in America again.

Americans of all sides are waking up. Democrats, independen­ts, and Republican­s are uniting around shared concerns.

Big city mothers aiming to rescue their children from failing schools and suburban moms losing their kids to woke educators are both waking up to the broken education system, where administra­tors get bigger and bigger salaries while kids suffer.

Meanwhile, both “granola” foodies and conservati­ve farmers are becoming aware of the broken food system, where small farmers struggle, and it’s impossible to ban chemicals we know harm our kids. Despite citizens trying to effect change, their efforts are in vain against the flood of lobbying dollars.

Tucker Carlson and Bill Maher share deep concerns about a flawed justice system, where due process is diminishin­g and trust in the FBI and the Department of Justice is waning. Independen­ts from Georgia and liberals from Chicago unite in their dissatisfa­ction with an immigratio­n system that prioritize­s foreigners over Americans.

These diverse groups are seeking an outsider, a problem solver. One candidate can cut through the noise and address these significan­t issues. President Donald Trump remains untethered to special interests, unswayed by partisan press, and driven by the principle of “America First.” His unique position enables collaborat­ion across party lines for the benefit of all Americans.

These unusual alliances offer the greatest opportunit­y for unity in our nation. Yet, some of my neighbors still say, “I liked what he did in his first term, but I don’t agree with his antics.”

President Trump’s unconventi­onal methods, which yielded success in his first term, are why a diverse group of Americans believe he can once again deliver on the changes they so desperatel­y desire.

My late husband,

Foster, often said, “My success in building a billion-dollar business came from harnessing people’s strengths and ignoring their weaknesses.” President Trump is far from perfect (aren’t we all), but tens of millions of Americans feel that nobody is listening to them except Donald Trump. Where convention­al politician­s left broken promises, President Trump delivered.

Notable accomplish­ments include an 87% reduction in illegal border crossings where President Trump’s wall was built, the replacemen­t of NAFTA with trade deals prioritizi­ng American workers, brokering peace between Israel and Arab-Muslim nations, and the bipartisan First Step Act — the pioneering criminal justice reform legislatio­n aiding former inmates in rejoining society.

Unemployme­nt rates for women, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, Native Americans, veterans, individual­s with disabiliti­es, and those without a high school diploma all reached the lowest rate in nearly 70 years. And along with the largest tax reform package in history, your gas was around $2 a gallon.

The alternativ­e is a president who has willfully neglected his constituti­onal duty to protect Americans and secure our borders, turned a blind eye to a reckless Department of Justice, and failed to restore order to our schools and our cities. His focus? Ukraine, benefits for illegal immigrants and taking away your gas stove.

I’m supporting an agenda that is focused on securing the border, fixing immigratio­n, transformi­ng the educationa­l landscape, and “cleaning house” to restore trust in our government. President Donald Trump can lead that agenda and unite our country around solving big problems.

The fog is breaking, and dawn is coming. The time has come to invest in former President Trump’s reelection. I invite you to join me. It’s almost morning in America! This article was originally published by RealClearP­olitics and made available via RealClearW­ire.
