TRUMP: Bring him back

| June 6, 2021 1:00 AM

I was a freshman in high school when President John Kennedy was assassinated. He was a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association, and lifelong supporter of the Second Amendment; so was President Ronald Reagan and former President Donald Trump.

I am sure Kennedy and Reagan would be appalled to see how our current federal government has turned toward socialist controls and I assume President Trump is also appalled to see how socialist our federal government is currently being run.

President Trump once said our country will never become a socialist controlled government; as soon as he left office approximately 50 dictates were signed eliminating all the positive things President Trump did to increase the good for this country.

Now prices on essential goods are increasing dramatically, gasoline was $1.87 a gallon when Trump left office, now it’s $3 a gallon plus a repeat of Carter’s presidency — high inflation. When Carter came to office gas was 23 cents a gallon and when he left office it had more than doubled in price, as most other consumer products did also!

Our southern border was closed and pretty secured; now it appears to be wide open, letting huge numbers of illegals flood into this country being placed in many areas of the country where they want to put them. I assume many of them will become voters along with prisoners, and maybe kids as young as 16 might become voters!

As I see it, the only thing that will save our country from demise is for President Trump to be re-elected, or another strong conservative similar to him to be elected, to save this country from socialist controls.

God save America!
