Trump stands for ‘we the people’

I am the ripe “older age of 84” and this election is stacking up to be one of the worst in my lifetime. We have a non-functional Congress which does not represent “we the people.” And we have masses of people voting for “liar in chief” Hillary Clinton.

Yes, Trump needs to speak in a more “civil” tongue, but at least he seems to recognize the fact that Congress has not been representing “we the people” – thanks to all the “RINOs” (Republicans in name only).

Trump also recognizes the need to stop the illegal invasion of our country which the Democratic Party instigated to control our voting process. This year, the elections could be the most illegal in my lifetime.

It’s time to wake up, America, and return to our Christian foundations.
