I’ll be honest, Trump wasn’t my first choice as the Republican nominee. I did have a few character concerns with him, even though I am very conservative. However, now that he is the president elect, I feel like he will actually get a lot more accomplished than many of the other Republican candidates that I first considered would have. Especially with both the House and Senate in play.
While I had initial fears that some of his rhetoric may possibly hinder his chances of becoming elected, this was quickly replaced with a sigh of relief after he was. Not so much that Trump was elected, but that another left-wing policy pusher was not. To me, I viewed the appointing of conservative supreme court justices as my number one initial priority.
I think that whether you are on the right or left, you should at least give him a shot before you completely dismiss him. He may turn out to be better than many give him credit for. I also like the fact that he can’t be bought. He can even turn down a $400,000.00 annual presidential salary. This is a good thing in today’s world of pay for play politics among world leaders.
Honestly, I still don’t know where Trump fully stands on some of the important issues, but this is probably the first time in an election cycle that I have actually been excited to see what happens over the next four years. I would love to see some Reagan 2.0 magic happen in my time.
