TRUMP | Trumps the Pack
Donald Trump just announced his candidacy for President of the United States in New York at Trump Tower. Ivanka Trump (his daughter) announced his candidacy and introduced him with style and flair. Ivanka said “America needs a politician that thinks big and leads by example. My dad is the opposite of politically correct. He says what he means and means what he says.” Ivanka said, “Donald Trump is battle tested and he is a doer.”
Donald Trump came on the stage and stated, “Our country is in serious trouble.” We are being beaten in every trade deal we negotiate, no matter what country you name. He said he would make deals where we came out the winner instead of the loser. He spoke about our relationship with Mexico. He stated that he would build a wall between Mexico and the United States within two years and would make Mexico pay for it. That is something I would like to see. I am so sick of being pushed around by these other countries. He said that he could stop the onslaught of illegals (Mexican criminals, ISIS, and other undesirables) crossing our southern border.
He spoke about how he wouldn’t have gone into Iraq because it destabilized the Middle East. The Minuteman disagrees with this part of the speech, but agrees with certain parts. I believe we should have gone into Iraq, but with more steadfastness and finished them within a year (do away with political correctness and fight the war). Once we had taken over Iraq (which we did; it just took way too long), we should have been reimbursed via their oil reserves (just the part that paid our expenses). Donald Trump and I are in agreement on this point. A difference in point may be that we should have left 20-30,000 troops to secure our position in Iraq instead of pulling out and letting ISIS take over. Donald and I do agree on at least part of the above scenario. He stated how stupid our leaders are in government and I wholeheartedly concur. He said he is totally against our trade policies, which are totally ridiculous. He stated that our GDP (a measure of our Nation’s economic growth) was at 0% and our real number of unemployment is at least 18-20%. We also have a giant problem called “The Big Lie” or “Obamacare”. Medical costs are going up 39-50%. Deductibles are so high that they are totally ridiculous. These idiots in government have spent 5 billion dollars on a website for Obamacare and it still doesn’t work. Mr. Trump said he could get a website up and running at a fraction of the cost. “Obamacare regulations on small business kicks off in 2016, which will be majorly destructive. We must repeal Obamacare and replace with something much better.”
He stated that politicians are fully controlled by lobbyists. This has to be stopped now. He said he couldn’t be controlled by lobbyists because he doesn’t need the money, because he is very rich and couldn’t be coerced. A list of the projects he said he could accomplish are as follows: repeal and replace Obamacare, build a Great Wall on our southern border and have Mexico pay for it. Nobody would be tougher on ISIS than him. He will find a great leader for the military and nobody will push us around again. Immediately terminate Obama’s illegal immigration policy. He will always support the 2nd amendment to the constitution and would end common core because education needs to be regional and also rebuild the country’s infrastructure.
To sum up, he said the American Dream is dead, but if he gets elected President, he will bring it back and make America great again. To say the least, the Minuteman was quite impressed with his rhetoric and would be comfortable with him or several of the other candidates, with the exceptions of Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, and Lindsey Gramnesty.
