To the editor:
How is Donald as a president? He is exercising his CEO experience that he used to build a multi-billion-dollar real estate company. The White House needed a CEO that plans, recruits, makes assignments and very impressively stays on top of the assignments. He very much resembles Abraham Lincoln who stayed on top of those who were tasked with his bidding.
By contrast the previous administration seemed to depend upon an auto pen and we don't know if Biden even knew what was being signed. There is an investigation underway and already his doctor and a few others have taken the Fifth Amendment.
Is he a nationalist? Donald certainly makes America the No. 1 nation. He knows how to drive the economy as exhibited by his first term and his second term is going great. Immediately after the election, the stock market took a big jump and is setting records.
Donald puts non-protests Americans first who are studying and working to improve their lives instead of catering to those who create a grievance and want a free ride and respectability without effort.
Trump puts America ahead of ideology such as racism and transgenderism which are the former President's pet items. That leads only to favoritism and vote purchasing. Donald has already commanded that men don't compete in women's sports, a very welcome rule for women.
Trump cut DEI which is an expensive way of providing education or work based upon race, sexual preference etc. instead of ability and interest in doing a good job.
To prove how well Trump treats minorities, in the last election Black men voting Republican increased from 10% in 2020 to 30%. Hispanic men voting Republican increased from 44% in 2020 to 54%. Why? Better jobs were available when Trump became president in 2017 and with no Biden, no more loss of jobs due to the open borders.
Trump is acting to change education from teacher's union control to parent control. Education is an embarrassment in the blue states. As an example, in Minnesota, reading efficiency for third grade students averages 48% while the black, indigenous and Latin third grade students average 34% even though Minnesota spends twice per student what Florida spends.
Trump is rebuilding a strong military recognizing that you achieve peace only through strength as compared to Biden's debacle in Afghanistan where hundreds of Americans and thousands of Afghans died when Biden turned the evacuation over to the Taliban and left $80 billion of American military items.
No more invasion, abundant crime and chaos at the border. FBI reports almost 6,000 crimes in America in the first six months of 2025 were committed by illegal migrants. Now we are catching and deporting tens of thousands of cartel and migrant criminals.
Now if we could only find a solution for our health care system. Thanks to ObamaCare and Biden's overspending on the pandemic, America's health care cost jumped from $2.6 trillion in 2012 to $4.5 trillion in 2023. A 73% increase while our longevity continues to be one of the poorest in the advanced world. Continuing to spend more money is not the solution.
