As we read the daily barrage of anti-Trump rhetoric in the Recorder, the question is often asked why anyone would vote for him. Thought I would share a few of my reasons. It took him just days to secure the disastrous mess at our border that Joe Biden repeatedly said couldn’t be done without an act of Congress. The record inflation from the Biden years is declining monthly. The savings for our country from DOGE continues to increase into hundreds of billions. He is preserving the tax cuts he initiated in his first term and will be adding to them. He attacked the unfair tariff agreements we had and we’re already seeing billions coming back to the U.S. He is deporting thousands of the worst illegals and will continue to make America safer — how many murders, rapes and crimes have already been avoided due to his efforts? He is reducing the size of government and the waste and fraud involved. I could go on and he’s just getting started. It’s time to give thanks that the left couldn’t jail him or assassinate him and we can now enjoy our country getting back on track.
