Subject:  Donald Trump

By:  Fred L. Anderson·

HONESTLY, WHY WOULD ANYONE VOTE FOR TRUMP?

Donald J. Trump – Breitbart Red State Newsmax Drudge Report

A few days ago someone I don’t know who 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 primary 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!

So true, so true.  A man speaking from his heart and we must listen to his wise words..
