TRUMP: Proud of him

I like President Trump — a non-politician and a businessman who has an objective view of the USA. Like us, he may have been told as a child, “You could be president someday.” And he is president with all his abilities and foibles like we each have.

The hope and positive excitement of his being elected is seen in the stock market rise, the job market, and in businesses who hope to grow and to afford full-time employees when burdensome regulations are changed; other nations are beginning to assume responsibilities they should have undertaken years ago (rather than depending on American taxpayers); the national debt is starting to be curtailed; veterans starting to be helped; our depleted defense is starting to be rebuilt. During the last five months, baby steps in these (and many other issues) are being taken because of Congress’ slow work to complete and send bills to the president for veto or approval (according to the balance of powers mandated by the U.S. Constitution). Mr. Trump has issued a few Executive Orders to help jump-start the economy.

President Trump is doing his duty and is proving himself competent, trustworthy and praiseworthy. I am proud that he is president. Reference Google for the bills and executive orders signed by President Trump.
