Public has wrong the perception of President Trump

- Melissa Reed, a Wyomissing resident, is the former Republican National Committee Pennsylvan­ia press secretary and current Donald J. Trump for President Campaign team member as director of photograph­y operations.

How I see President Trump is completely opposite of how he is portrayed to the public and of people’s preconceiv­ed notions. President Trump has proven to be genuine, relatable and has an undeniable connection with the American people.

He is most in his element and truly enjoys being with average Americans — whether it be a small gathering or with thousands at a rally. He has an unbelievab­le ability to connect with one person the same way he can with 20,000. Every smile, wave and hand gesture is genuine — he makes everyone feel special and important in his presence.

President Trump understand­s the challenges that hardworkin­g, patriotic citizens struggle with every day. President Trump’s incredible ability to put himself in other people’s shoes further strengthen­s his connection with everyday Americans.

The hope and optimism of the American people invigorate the president and serves as a reminder of who he is fighting for. Americans love the opportunit­y of getting to see this larger-than-life man who is achieving larger-than-life accomplish­ments for this country and for them.

President Trump has the two most important qualificat­ions to be the president of the United States — the ability to lead the country, and, equally as important, good, solid character.

First, President Trump’s ability should never be questioned. With his abounding passion and patriotism, President Trump has accomplish­ed more than any other U.S. president in his first four years.

His dedication and strong work ethic show his love for this country and the American people, which is the driving force behind everything he does. He makes decisions carefully in a clear and well-thought-out manner by considerin­g all options with an open mind, asking for many opinions and welcoming disagreeme­nts in order to hear

all sides. This is a sign of a true leader whose ultimate goal is to make the best decision for the greater good.

Second, the unrelentin­g attacks and slander of President Trump’s character, since the moment he announced he

was running for president, are unfair and could not be further from the truth.

President Trump is a man of his word. Most politician­s promise a lot and fail to follow through. President Trump accomplish­ed more than he promised by adding, for example, the sixth branch of the U.S. military — the Space Force.

President Trump’s relationsh­ip with his five children speaks volumes about the type of man he is. The loyalty, love and support they give one another is truly rare and highly admirable. It’s amazing to see the whole family step up and work hard to support their father because they believe in him and his ability to help this country.

How could someone who has achieved so much success and wealth give all of that up in order to dedicate his life to serve the American people? President Trump put aside his life and his family’s life so that he could fight for working-class Americans who have been lost and forgotten.

He also had to put a stop to our country sliding further away from our founding principles and core values. America was losing respect around the world, and other countries were taking advantage of us through trade, military protection, etc.

President Trump was the right leader at the right time to save this land that serves as a shining example of hope and opportunit­y for the world. I can’t think of more compelling evidence of President Trump’s self-sacrifice than giving up his family time, donating his presidenti­al salary to various causes and his willingnes­s to use his own money toward his campaign.

President Trump loves America. He honors and respects our country’s past and works every day for a better tomorrow. We are fortunate as a nation to have a leader who is willing to dedicate his life to making America great again.
