I’m 51 and I’ve voted in every presidential election (and most others) since I turned 18 but until president Trump came along I had NEVER voted FOR a candidate, I always voted against the other guy. I was forced to hold my nose, to varying degrees, and vote for the least worst candidate. I had long thought about what it would take for a DC outsider or regular citizen to get elected president and I figured that it would be impossible….virtually impossible anyway. I just didn’t think that there were any mechanisms in place that would allow someone that wasn’t a politician to be taken seriously. I knew that the internal forces within the Beltway were dark, evil forces and they alone chose our leaders for us. They might try to give the impression that we have a choice but that’s mostly done to placate the sheep. Then Trump came along…
I grew up hearing or reading about Trump and his opulent tales of woe, usually from a National Enquirer headline while standing in the line at the grocery store and I was never impressed. In most all ways Trump and I are 180 degrees opposite one another, his “style”, his attitude…..virtually everything he does are things I either wouldn’t do or I’d do differently. I found so much about him and his life to be unappealing to me that I never cared for him. His 3 kids were different, I did respect them at least based on the interviews and other stories about them that I had seen or read.
Despite my preconceived ideas about Trump I was onboard the Trump for president train as early as anyone. Of all the stuff I believed about Trump or had read about him the one thing that I never questioned was his love for this country. For whatever reason at the time, right or wrong, I believed that Trump was a Patriot and thankfully I was right. By the time we got done with Obongo we were in the throes of an impending Klinton regime when thankfully a PATRIOTIC, wealthy, brash, New York narcissist showed up out of nowhere and successfully battled the demonic Klinton. Trump was exactly what was needed and he gave us a glimpse at what could be. He proved to me that he has his priorities for this country in order and he’s showed us what a real president looks like. Trump is not perfect and he made some mistakes. I’m willing to forgive mistakes when those mistakes are a direct result of NOT being a politician. While Trump is an outsider unfortunately that doesn’t mean that his cabinet will be. The system that DC has in place isn’t setup to allow outsiders in, it doesn’t want citizens ruining their business. The process of “vetting” alone can take months and months. It’s impossible to be president and have a cabinet and staff that are not politicians and once you’ve polluted your administration by employing politicians you’ve subjected yourself to all the filth, disease and bad decisions that politicians are known for.
