Why I'm Voting for Trump

 A few weeks ago, I was involved in a political debate of Trump versus Biden. The question posed, was, why am I voting for Trump and not Biden. Well, it took about two to three hours to develop the list. This what I came up with.I will add, I wouldn't drink a cup of coffee with Trump. Personally, don't like the man, but I like him as the President.

TRUMP

Cons

Personality-nothing short of bombastic, ego-centric, Needs to think before speaking many, many times

Twitter account- I do not follow it! Serves no purpose.

Married three times

Failed business ventures Casino, Airline, University

Handling of COVID 19 He had no business giving daily briefings on a topic he wasn’t familiar with. The CDC and task force should have handled these.

 

Pros

Foreign Policy

1. Hard lined China on trade deals

2. Renegotiated NAFTA

3. Created a temporary peace with N. Korea

4. Pulled out of the Iran Nuclear agreement

5. Scrapped the Paris Agreement. E&T has an interesting article debating the pros and cons. 2017

6. Provided Ukraine with weapons to fight against the Russians

7. Placed severe sanctions on Russia

8. Informed NATO partners it’s time to start paying their fair share

9. Placed tariffs on foreign competitors-Too early to see how this will shake out.

10. Moved US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem

11. Brokered a peace deal with Israel/United Emirates

 

 

Domestic

1.    Tax cuts-that can be debated till the cows come home

2.    Reduced unnecessary regulations. If you’ve ever had to deal with EPA, OSHA, MESHA you’d understand. This I can speak on from experience. Many of the regs are ridiculous and do nothing to provide a safe working environment or work place.

3.    Rebuilt the military

4.    Cleaned house in the VA. Veterans can now use their own doctor instead of waiting months to be seen. This is a huge plus. I have many military vets who are very excited over this much needed change.

5.    Increased military personnel pay

6.    Enforcing current immigration laws

7.    Constructed 300 miles of the border wall.

8.    Sweeping prison reform.

10. Lowest unemployment rate in decades for all workers and sexes

11. Eliminated the two top terrorists in the world

 

Yes, I’m voting for Trump.
