A childhood friend asked me to respond to these questions on why I'm voting for Trump. The rule is to only refer to Trump's actions and not Biden's failures. So here goes:
Why is Donald Trump your candidate of choice?
I'm not actually sure I'm voting for him. I REALLY want to vote for a third party. The two party system is a sickness that our country just can't seem to shake. It's causing such a division and it's been who is in power, and is winning, rather than really talking things out as a group and coming up with a satisfactory conclusion.
I'm looking seriously at
Jo Jorgensen. But I'll save the details about her in another post. This one is about Donald Trump, and why I would consider him:
What policies do you feel strongly about that he supports?
- He supports the unborn's right to life.
- He supports the second amendment. He supports "America first", meaning we should be supporting US jobs by buying "Made in the USA" products. I agree.
- He supports law enforcement and defies anarchy and destructive organizations.
- He isn't afraid to mention God
- I've seen many of his meetings with internal and foreign officials, and he is very good at the way he conducts himself and praises the efforts of others in these in-person meetings.
- Space exploration. Yes, I'm a nerd.
- He recognizes the need to NOT increase taxes. He is a defender of innovation and defies the call for socialism.
How likely do you believe he will follow through on his promises?
- He said he would build a wall, and he's come a long way on that, even though he didn't get funding the way he wanted with Congress.
- Some of his promises, along with any other president's are totally dependent on a congress that is willing to allow him the funds to follow through.
- He got rid of NAFTA and replaced it with something better: USMCA
- He's trying to get rid of Obama care, but there needs to be something put forward that will replace it so people aren't left hanging.
What good do you feel he will bring to the presidency in leading our country?
- He has done well in nominating Supreme Court Justices that can make good decisions: Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. There is a good chance he may be able to appoint one or two more conservative judges.
- He's tough on China, well, really any other country that isn't playing fair.
- He's a businessman, so his ability to improve our economy, and increase jobs, just can't be beat by any other candidate.
What makes him the best man for the job?
- He is new to politics. He hasn't been decades in position as a senator or congressman, and isn't (as) corrupt.
- He is well spoken, and can speak his mind. (Which some might consider a negative)
- He loves the country, and loves those who serve in the military.
I realize he definitely isn't perfect, very far from it. So here is a bonus section:
What are some things I wish he would/wouldn't do?
- Delete that twitter account!
- Quit name calling
- Don't be so quick to praise yourself, or diminish/compare yourself to others.
- It's important to be positive, but keep a level of realism. Sometimes he says some really ridiculous things that are pure speculation, and the main stream media loves that stuff. You're setting yourself up to look dumb.
- Decrease government spending. This is one of the main appeals the libertarian party has for me.
