Americans are used to watching Presidential administrations come into office and make incremental changes that tinker around the edges of the major problems we have in our country. As a result of their unwillingness to address our major issues in a meaningful way, we have a national debt that is out of control, we have massive fraud where groups are ripping off the taxpayers and on top of this we have federal government agencies that have been run in an inefficient way. These politicians just gave up and accepted that these problems were unable to be solved.

President Trump came into office for his second term determined to make the government run in a more efficient manner and on a sustainable economic footing.

We can all acknowledge that Trump’s style is not endearing to many people. Just remember:

HE’S NOT YOUR THERAPIST, HE’S YOUR PRESIDENT.

While his personality and style might be grating to you, what he is accomplishing will be transformative for future generations. 

Trump has refused to accept that Americans should continue to pay more for prescription drugs than the rest of the world. Pharmaceutical companies have routinely charged more for a drug sold in America than what they charged the citizens of France or Germany. Trump has ended this practice which has gone on for decades. He has demanded that these companies charge Americans no more than they charge citizens of France or Germany.

Prior Presidents have allowed people from around the world the privilege of crossing our southern border and then receiving federal benefits. Trump shut down this ridiculous practice within days of being sworn into office.

It used to take 6 months for a government employee to fill out the paperwork for their retirement. No one was willing to take on the bureaucracy and streamline the retirement process. Trump found non-governmental experts who could fix the problem. They took on the challenge and now, less than a year later, it takes just a few days for government employees to complete the retirement process.

For years, health experts have worried about the use of food dyes in certain foods that Americans consume. No one ever stopped the process of using questionable ingredients in the food dyes until Trump and Secretary Kennedy ended the use of food dyes in certain foods.

Prior Presidents were not willing to tackle the issue of fraud and waste in our federal government. After Trump was reelected, he put in motion the DOGE process and began pulling back the funding of organizations that were wasting or stealing taxpayer money.

Trump took on the bully of the Middle East: Iran. Trump reduced Iran to a regime that is struggling to survive. He did this without starting a war.

Trump ended Venezuela’s disruption of South America and stopped their practice of giving China and Russia a beachhold in our hemisphere. He took control of their oil revenue and started the process of giving it back to the people and stopped the leftist leaders from stealing this natural resource.

Leftist judges in Democrat run states have been releasing criminals from jail for years. They have also been releasing illegal immigrants who have committed crimes in our country. Trump has allowed ICE to capture and remove these criminals from our streets.

I understand that Trump is often like a bull in a china shop. I know he can sometimes be irritating in his public demeanor.

I also realize that he accomplishes important things that other politicians have been unable to complete.

Call him a king, fascist, egomaniac or a bully. In spite of his irritating tactics, he is making a positive difference for many Americans.

Years ago, many baseball fans could not stand Reggie Jackson during his prime because he was often arrogant and confrontational. Yankee fans realized that in spite of his behavior, when it mattered most, Jackson could deliver victories for the Yankees.

Trump may not win any Mr. Congeniality contests but he is consistently delivering victories for the US taxpayers.
