Today is November 9th and we have a new president, Donald Trump. I have many thoughts on this, so I hope you keep an open mind and read what I have to say. I know many people are upset and scared. I'm going to go through the issues and hopeful maybe calm some fears.
Donald has been right on policies for 30 years that both sides got wrong. He was invited to those meetings for a reason. He's said the same things for years, not because he's a broken record, but because we still have the same issues that no one is doing anything about yet. He has the opportunity to do so now. He was speaking about issues most important to the American people; jobs and national security being top of the list. Through some lows in his businesses, he has shown what can still happen, even when the odds are stacked against you and that is admirable to me. He's suffered setbacks like all businessmen and rebuilt.
If you think about it and listen closely to what Donald has said, he's the most anti war candidate we've had on the republican side in awhile. He wants to negotiate and make good deals before going into any wars we can't afford. He's negotiated with people and created jobs all of his life. He's not going to just up and make irrational decisions. He's criticized Obama for his excessive use of executive order, I highly doubt he will do the same. He will rely on his cabinet for a lot, which isn't a weakness. It is the way our government is meant to be run.

No one thought badly of Donald until he ran for office as a republican. Look at old pictures of him. People of all different ethnicities used to flock to him. Then he became public enemy number one. He is not responsible for the racist, bigoted things SOME of his supporters have said. And not all of us have said it or believe it at all. On the other hand, it's been proven that people have been paid to say and do things to him and his supporters at rallies. He's said questionable things, but I trust actions over words and would rather hear too much than too little. Being against Illegal immigration isn't racist. Stop categorizing by race, especially when legal status has everything to do with taxes and nothing to do with race. Illegal immigration is a color blind issue. If you're here legally, I don't know why you're freaking out. I have friends who came here legally and are downright insulted over the influx of illegal immigrants and all they've been able to mooch out of this country. I also know quite a few gays who have decided that the issues this country faces is what's most important to them. As for race, 2 of Trump's biggest supports are black women. They have been making videos of their support from the very beginning and it wasn't just for show. They never expected to grow so popular, popular enough to have him Trump reach out to them. They speak about us coming together as Americans and members of the HUMAN race.
I supported Herman Cain when he ran in the primaries a few elections ago. He is a black conservative, but more importantly he is a business man like Donald Trump. That is the mentality we need for our economy. He even had accusations of sexual assault thrown at him too, but it was upsetting his family so he dropped out. Coincidentally, the charges were dropped right after. Mission accomplished to his Nay Sayers. Trump's sexual assault cases were dropped and it's just funny to me how the women accused him in the 11th hour, when people just started to believe he could actually become president. I listened to the infamous hot mic tape and, to me, "they let you do whatever" implies consent. With that being said, no one complained about Bill's ACTIONS in the actual Oval Office because we had a surplus in our economy, but they'll complain about a crude comment Trump made, hanging with the guys, way before running for public office.
Let me be clear. You may not know this, but I was never a fan of Donald Trump before he ran for president. I thought he was overrated and egotistical. I've since met him and his family and they all could not be more gracious and down to earth. Whether you like him or not, Donald Trump's campaign is admirable. He was the epitome of; "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win" from Mahatma Gandhi. I truly do believe he can and will help us out. If you still hate him, just try to think of it this way. Would his ego REALLY let him fail? The world is watching. Think about that for a minute.
To my family and friends and to the family and friends of those I know. I'm talking to those of you who have gotten upset at us for being behind Trump, some of whom you've even refused to speak to now. Our support for him is not disloyalty to you. It is merely choosing other issues that are of importance to us. I voted based on the economy, jobs and national security. My choice is based on limited government. I don't want the government to dictate personal or social issues in my life, period. If they have to, give it to the states and not the federal government. Voting based on gender and to make history is ignorant, if you ask me. I know many people of different ethnicities and sexual orientations who feel the same and did, indeed, vote for Donald Trump.
My hope is that we give him a chance as a nation. He earned that by a majority of our votes. I hope he exceeds all of the expectations of those living in fear now. Just remember, you don't have to like a brain surgeon's personality, as long as he gets the job done. It is your right as an American not to like him. But think back to when so many were skeptical about a community organizer running for president and ultimately winning. We gave him a chance...twice. My hope is that Donald remembers he works for us and brings our country to a place of being as prosperous and well respected as we once were.
One last question. Can I still call him The Donald? Cuz I am.
