Simple minds understand Trump
There’s been much discussion about Donald Trump and his appeal.
Mr. Trump has appeal because, for the first time, there is someone who stands up and fights against liberals, the media and progressives in Congress by fighting exactly the way they do! Regular, hard-working Americans are tired of being shouted down, tired of being threatened by words and tired of being called “racists,” “flat earthers,” “troglodytes” and “cavemen,” designed to silence critics of “group think.” Mr. Trump is fearless, untouchable.
It’s refreshing to see someone who is not owned running for president and identifying the stupidity of our policies of both parties.
Our country is in severe trouble and its citizens are in danger. We are in debt to the tune of $17 trillion. Our debt to GDP ratio is currently at 105 percent. We want someone to push back and plug the hole in our sinking ship called America. That is his first priority.
Mr. Trump is what this country has needed for a long time. Will he be president of the United States? Hard to tell, but he has certainly set the narrative and identified the problem with our country in words that even the simplest minds can understand.
