PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

Some people haven’t come to terms with his term …. in office, that is.  I can understand Democrats having trouble believing that he is the President of the United States and I can even understand how some political independents would still be in disbelief.  It’s somewhat natural for them not accept it.  I’ll admit that I never fully accepted Barack Obama as President.  After all, he did not stand for anything I supported in any way - as I’m sure Donald Trump doesn’t represent those that opposed him. Truthfully I didn’t care much for Donald Trump myself until after he won election.

What doesn’t make sense to me is why so many Republicans, conservatives, TEA Partiers, etc., still haven’t come around to him.   All of them, including Donald Trump, have been singing the same tune. Unless I’m wrong,  they all want to protect and defend the United States from radical Islam, end Obamacare, secure the border, balance the budget, simplify taxes, and so on and so forth.  

The American voters have given Republicans what they asked for: control of the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the Presidency. Not only have they been given control in Washington DC, they’ve been given control in most of the state capitals (they’ve had the states for a while now).  But they haven’t decided to come together for the good of the nation.  It seems they may rather have had Hillary Clinton win the election instead of their own Republican Party candidate. Sounds absurd doesn’t it?

You might remember that some Republicans were hoping for a “Convention Miracle” in which Donald Trump would not, could not, secure the party nomination.  The truth is, a Convention Miracle wouldn’t have satisfied them because they hated Ted Cruz, too (maybe even more than they hated Trump).  The point I’m making is this, there are a lot of political leaders we used to trust (when I say we, I mean you and me, Jane & Joe Average America) that do not trust us.

What has President Trump done wrong? If you listen closely you’ll hear this: nothing.  That’s because he hasn’t done anything wrong at all. Other than win our votes. That’s it.  Is he trying to keep the country safe? Yes, he is.  Has he been working to secure the border? Yes, he has. Has he been trying to do everything all candidates have promised to do year after year? Yes, he has. Are they helping?  I’ll let you answer that. 

Now that we have a President that is willing to work hard at getting things done, wouldn’t it be nice if we had Republican leaders working just as hard and taking their jobs just as seriously as he is? Republicans have every tool that they’ve wanted us to give them; it’s time for them to come together and keep the promises they’ve made to us…before they lose their “Trump” card.

There you have it,
