We need Trump

We need Trump

In “Your Views” (Tribune-Herald, March 8), Danny Li thinks he’s smarter than President Donald Trump.

Trump is worth $10 billion. What’s your net worth, Danny?

Do this problem for us dummies. Starting at one, start counting one number per second and tell me when you reach 10 billion. Make it only 1 billion to simplify the problem. Let us know when you complete my request.

You probably have an advanced math degree, while I’m just a high school grad, so please help me understand your issues with President Trump. I think he’s doing a great job of fixing President Barack Obama’s screw-ups without constantly crying about the mess left him by Obama.

Trump is acting like President Ronald Reagan, who got the country’s foreign and domestic mess left by President Jimmy Carter, but did not bemoan Carter’s administration and just worked to get the country moving in the right direction. Trump is accepting $1 per year to do this job, a job he doesn’t need.

We need him because he is not controlled by lobbyists who finance a majority of people in Congress and do their bidding, and are terrified that Trump is going to disrupt the corrupt system.

Just ‘an excuse’?

Why the sudden explosion of demonstrations by women claiming they are being discriminated against because of their gender?

These same demonstrators also are in favor of inviting people to live in America whose cultural and religious practices are in direct conflict with women’s rights.

And what about the hard-won rights by the lesbian/gay and transgender community?

I don’t recall any of these demonstrations during the Obama administration.

These women are just using this issue as an excuse to protest against President Donald Trump, who is not in favor of limiting gender and sexual orientation rights.

He is trying to prevent radical jihadists from sneaking into the country as refugees. These jihadists believe in seriously punishing those who oppose their views.

What’s wrong about protecting our religious freedom?
