WHY WOULD ANYONE VOTE FOR TRUMP

A few days ago someone I don't know asked this question on ... Facebook and a mutual friend (knowing I am a Trump supporter), tagged me and asked me to answer the question. Here was my reply:









I am a Trump supporter for several reasons. I believe that our country is at a critical tipping point and we don't have another presidential term to figure this out.





Health care costs are out of control, our labor participation rate is at a 50 year low, we have no borders, jobs are leaving by the thousands, the debt service on our national debt is nearing a point we cannot pay it.





The average person hasn't had an increase in pay in 12 years. Over half the black men in our country are out of work. We are more divided than I can ever remember and I'm over 60 years old. We are at the brink of losing our country.





On top of that we spend money we don't have fighting wars we shouldn't be in, and cannot win. We pay over a hundred other countries billions of dollars a year and our military are the policemen for the world. We must fix this mess ASAP.





Now, before I give you my reasons, I need to share my perspective. I am an evangelical Christian but I don't believe it is the role of government to legislate morality. I am a service connected disabled veteran having served in the US Army as a paratrooper.





I started my second career as an auto mechanic and worked my way up to owning 12 auto repair franchises. I then sold them and began a new career in real estate, building my own company to over 150 agents.





Then in 2003 I invented a technology that put me on CNN and I began selling that software to real estate agents internationally. I've written 14 books, thousands of trade articles and have trained over 1,000,000 real estate agents in specific professional skills.





I've employed over a thousand people during that time, and until a month ago have been a registered democrat. Okay, now that you know where I'm coming from, here are my reasons:





First, his resume. Of everyone running for president, Trump is the only one who has ever employed anyone. He is the only one who has any experience in international trade. He is the only one who understands the impact of our tax laws and government regulation on companies and jobs.





Trump has made a fortune turning around failed companies. He's worked complicated deals all over the world, negotiating with governments, labor unions, and international financiers. These skills are not learned overnight and we don't have time for another life-long politician and attorney to get up to speed.





Second is his character. He is tough as nails. His children are pretty awesome. You can tell a lot about somebody by their kids. He is brutally honest as opposed to being politically correct. His employees and his ex-employees have nothing but praise for him. Even his ex-wives have nothing bad to say about him. Check it out.





Third is his success. He has built hundreds of successful businesses. One of his companies declared bankruptcy (chapter 11 or reorganization) four separate times before ultimately saving the company. All creditors were paid and jobs were saved. Bottom line is he is just a very good businessman.





Fourth is that he is a great negotiator. In fact, he wrote the book on negotiation -- The Art of the Deal, an international best-seller. If we are to save this country we need someone who can work with people of differing opinions. Congress is grid locked. We need to work new trade agreements with other nations. We need to renegotiate treaties.





Fifth, Trump is a nationalist and not a globalist. He believes that our country comes first. We need to enforce our borders and the rule of law. He believes it is not our job to defend the whole world. He believes that if we do help countries with their defense, we should be paid for it.





Sixth, he has great instincts. He predicted the rise of Osama bin Laden. He predicted a terror attack on a major US city. He opposed the war in Iraq although every other candidate but Bernie Sanders was in favor of the war. He opposed it because it would destabilize the middle east. He got out of the gaming industry before it crashed. Great instincts.





Seventh, he is a natural leader. Even those who don't like him are following his lead. He has single-handedly set the agenda for this election cycle. He is respected internationally as well as in our nation. He oozes leadership.





Eighth, he is a great communicator and persuader. He is a master at using the media to advance his narrative. He totally understands the media. He built the most successful reality show in the history of television. These are skills he will need if he is to turn this country around.





Ninth, I have studied him. I read his first book in 1987 and realized he was a brilliant businessman. I've watched hundreds of hours of speeches, media interviews, read thousands of articles about him, several of his books, and studied his successes and his failures. He is the real deal. I challenge anyone to study him and not support him.





Finally, I have to look at what motivates him. Most politicians are motivated by money and/or power. Trump already has both. He has a history of being a patriot, from his military high school, to now. He has a huge ego, like every other candidate running. The difference is he is honest about his.





I think he sees our nation at a critical place and he knows that he has the unique skill set to fix the problems. If he does, he will go down in history as being one of the greatest presidents ever.





If you understand him, you know that his legacy is important to him (his name on all his buildings and companies). I even believe he is funding his own campaign so he won't owe favors or loyalties to special interests. When you evaluate his motivations you can't help but admire him.





I remembered one more reason. Everyone is about to blow a gasket over him. The establishment republican party hates him and has actually been actively trying to take down their own front runner. The establishment democrat party hates him because they know he will crush Hillary in the election, and the establishment media hates him because he totally controls the news cycle and they cannot control him. Even the donor class hates him because he cannot be bought. If all these people who I cannot stand hate him, that only makes me love him more.





You know who loves him? The regular people in this country. The ones who work their asses off every day and haven't had a pay raise in over a decade. The ones who pay the taxes and watch as their jobs get shipped overseas or across the border. The ones who see their property values going down because corrupt Big Banking blew up the housing market. The ones whose retirement is in jeopardy because social security has been raided and their 401Ks have been decimated by corrupt Wall Street.





So, again... these are my reasons. Today's election is probably the most important election in your lifetime. This is not an exaggeration. If you agree with me on any of these reasons, please get out and vote and together we can Make America Great Again!





Think about this: We've had politicians running our country for way too many years and look at the results. Isn't it time we give a business person the opportunity to show the way a country should be run.....like a business, because that's what our country is!

Look at what just happened in Britian. The ruling class thought that they had the European Union vote all sewed up. But the Common Britians decided that they wanted to control their own destiny and their own borders. They rose up and voted themselves out of the European Union.

Hillary is not even a choice if you like freedom.

The next president will appoint possible as many as four Supreme Court Justices. Hopefully Trump would appoint constitutional minded judges. Hillary would definitely appoint liberal progressive judges who would destroy the Constitution of the US. She openly says that the Supreme Court got it wrong about the 2nd Amendment. SHE WANTS GUN CONTROL!!!

For any of you that think we need more gun laws to keep us safe remember this; when Richmond, VA started enforcing all of the Federal gun laws the murder rate dropped over 40% in six months and it stayed down until the Feds quit prosecuting them. WE HAVE ALL THE GUN LAWS NEEDED TO STOP 50% OF THE GUN VILENCE NOW IF THEY WERE USED!!!!

I knew we had some closet Hillary lovers on here. You'd be saying the same thing over any Republican that would have made it. We all know the country is full of dumb butts. Look who they elected the last 2 times. What a joke.

Just want to shed some light regarding our next POTUS, Donald J. Trump...

I have been thinking a lot about Donald Trump, people say that he doesn't have a platform, that he just wants to make America great again. I have something to say about that, Donald Trump is not telling you his plan, he's giving you an outline. Why? Every time that he has brought something to the table, the other candidates take it and run. Such as, immigration, "the wall" and other issues. I can guarantee you that he won't give you his full plans in detail until he is standing at the podium, next to one of the Democrats. THAT is when he will reveal everything. He doesn't need to do that now. Donald Trump is a visionary. He doesn't go into business, without a strategy, and a form of negotiation already set. This man is prepared in business and will be fully prepared when the time is right, in a debate. He is a brilliant man, and he will not reveal his hand. He doesn't have to, he has his supporters. They believe in him, they know he could be the Commander in Chief and lead this country in the right direction.

As far as foreign policy, you say he lacks. What I say is, he knows the economy, he knows about taxes, trade, laws, foreign values, he knows that inside and out because he's dealt with them for so many years. Now, if he hadn't been good with dealing with the foreign market, he wouldn't be the billionaire that he is now. He is an International brand. He knows leaders and foreign dignitaries.

He is a unifier.

He is an economic genius, with the skills to make this country great again.

He will be bringing businesses back into this country and creating jobs. This will help our economy, immensely! He would protect the United States from those who want to do us harm. He absolutely LOVES this country, and will do what he has to do, in order to protect it. Guaranteed!

HE IS bold and brash, he says what he means, and means what he says, and that is what we like about him so much. He will be a tough negotiator and our allies will know, without any doubt, where he stands at all times. They know his word will mean something, and so will our enemies. This is a brilliant man who has focus and he is pragmatic. He knows how to solve problems, very quickly.

He will surround himself with the best of the best, in all branches of the government. You will not see our soldiers kneeling at the feet of Iranians, nor, will you see Isis take over the world. You haven't seen the man work, yet. All you've seen is a businessman, turned politician, before your eyes. His supporters are standing shoulder-to-shoulder with him and will not sway. Lobbyists and special interest groups will no longer be able to line the pockets of our Congress and Senate. Because when they do, the Senators and congressmen will pass Bills and Legislation, and it will be a conflict of interest to the United States. No more will you have super PACs running this country. The media can ridicule Donald Trump and all of his supporters, all they want, BUT we are digging in our heels! We will not be deterred!

The fact of the matter is, you think Americans are stupid. But we are the backbone of this country. Americans WILL determine the vote, NOT the special interest groups or the lobbyists. They will finally understand, clearly. Our voices will be heard. We will support our troops and build up our military and take care of our Vets PROPERLY!

This current administration has not had their backs, nor, have they listened to our top military leaders. No longer will our military hands be tied. He will secure our borders and revamp our visa program. YES, the beautiful wall WILL be built and YES, Mexico WILL pay for it! Guaranteed! He will do everything in his power to keep Americans safe. He will call our enemies by name, radicals jihadist.

There will no longer be "political correctness," for it is destroying our country and dividing us.
Donald Trump is a unifier! Americans are finally pulling together as ONE, United we stand, shoulder-to-shoulder, with Donald Trump!

Most of the people that say they wont vote for Trump, will not vote for him because they don't "like" him. I'll admit that he can be hard to "like", cause all New Yorkers are "rude". I can get past that, And I can get excited over a candidate who scares the bejesus out of the leftist Marxists and the media and as a bonus he is scaring the Republican big wigs. His candidacy and even Bernies have showen the power of the people and if it weren't for the sheeple we could have our Gov back.
Anybody that thinks Hillary got it made should look at the primary, even though the media treats it as a non issue, She almost lost to a person nobody knew and was only a Democrat for a year.
The only way she wins is if conservatives stay home on election night.
Like him or hate him, the Donald is the revolution we have been waiting for.

Ga Dawg, I agree with your last post, which gets me to wondering, how many of us that know that this country is on a path to destruction would lay our lives on the line and truly stand up and be willig to do whatever it took to save our country. Whether that meant taking a bullet or certain death for us or our families or spending the rest of our lives in a NATO prison camp.
I can only imagine what drew our forefathers into the revolutionary war. Seems we have the same senario today that they faced back in the 1700s. Was it courage or fear of what would happen to them if they didnt fight . Whichever it was, we face the same delima today. Talk is cheap. How much is everybody truly prepared to sacrifice in order to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN ? Time is short, I'm afraid !
