President Trump is the first politician in my lifetime who is serious about keeping campaign promises. No president in history has moved so fast with such clarity of purpose. I listened as Trump laid out his plans for America at the rally celebrating his first 100 days in office. He obviously is the people’s president. Some hate him, but it’s undeniable he’s the most openly communicative president in history.

Thus far his greatest accomplishment has been closing the border — something that the past five administrations claimed could only be done with the intervention of Congress. All it took was some old fashioned courage.

He is currently deporting millions of the illegal immigrants that invaded America during the Biden administration. Members of criminal gangs will be the first to go. I find it strange that liberals are up in arms claiming the Constitutional rights of these criminals are being violated. Apparently they believe illegal immigrants’ rights supersede those of American citizens.

Businessman Trump has the charisma, knowledge and negotiating skills to convince domestic companies to bring their factories back to America. Even more amassing is the number of foreign companies pledging to open new manufacturing plants in America. Trump is ending the one-sided trade agreements established after WWII. Other countries charge high tariffs to protect their industries, but expect to export their goods to America without tariffs. We can no longer be the “Sugar Daddy” to the world. The transition may be a bit painful but long-term benefits will out weigh any pain. The stock market is already in recovery mode.

Trump ended DEI programs. Anti-semitism is being rooted out. Men are banned from women’s sports. Sex change operations and puberty-blocking drugs are banned for children under the age of 18.

With Musk in charge of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the amount of waste, mismanagement, corruption and theft being discovered is mind-boggling.

However, the biased media covers none of the misuse of funds and corruption being uncovered. But that’s what would one expect as 90 percent of the medias coverage of Trump is negative.

The anti-Trump fear mongering syndrome runs deep in the Democratic Party. Liberals and their minions are spreading a continuous barrage of innuendo and blatant lies.

They claim Trump is going to cut Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid benefits. All lies! Liberals live by the motto that, “If you tell a lie often enough it becomes accepted as the truth.” They use fear as a weapon and are terrified Trump will succeed.

Local editorialists are no better, they have been indoctrinated by MSNBC, CNN and view the radical left. They spew the radical left’s venomous message with little regard for fact. The Constitution guarantees them that right; however, they will find themselves on the wrong side of history. I believe Trump will be regarded as one of the greatest presidents in history. Young voters are leaning conservative as they feel Trump looks forward, while the Democratic Party and its minions keep looking backward.
