Is Trump THE One??

In a lackluster Republican field of presidential candidates, Donald Trump is stirring the pot and may be coming out a winner. Could he be the one? When I first heard he was going to run for President, I poo poo’d the idea. He is a brilliant businessman and a consummate self promoter, but President? Go onnnn!!!!!!

But the more I hear him, the more I like him. He is Reaganesque in his view of America. His no nonsense, America first approach is refreshing and loaded with common sense. And the left is going bonkers. He is asking all the right questions…the questions they don’t want to answer. He asks those questions looking for simple answers.

Item: Obama won’t produce his birth certificate. Why?

Item: America has spent billions of dollars on the war in Iraq. Now Obama wants to leave Iraq, and Iran is ready to move in…and take the oil that we paid for in blood and treasure. Why?

Item: Our tax code allows companies like General Electric to pay no taxes. Why?

Item: The Chinese are cleaning our clock with their trade policy. Why?

Item: Energy prices are going through the roof while we bankroll oil drilling in Brazil. Why?

Of course, he is not a politician. There are those who will argue he has no governmental experience. Here is a news flash. He has more experience in his little finger than Barack Obama has in his entire body…and that’s after he has been in office for 2 years. He understands business. He has had to negotiate with foreign countries. He understands the art of the deal and the art of compromise. And most of all, he understands and can articulate American greatness.

I’m not ready to say he would be my first pick for President. That would be Chris Christie of New Jersey. But it’s clear that unless some other Republican shows some life and a spark of meaningful activity, Trump may be the anti-Obama we are looking for. Then we can all breath easy once again. You're fired!!!

Item: Trump for President. Why? Why not?
