Does Donald Trump have the characteristics and personality we need at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue ?
Like Reagan he is bullish on America and totally committed to a free market and a strong defense.
Like Truman he is unafraid to call out enemies. Naming Mexico, China, Russia, Iran and other foreign states he believes are threats is gutsy and refreshing.
Like John Kennedy he is very rich and may need no financial support from lobbyists or the public to finance his campaign. This means he doesn't have to grovel for donations and play payback with the office of the presidency.
Trump has tasted great financial success and failure and is a seasoned and hardened negotiator. He has no political experience and thus is beholding to no politicians or political party. While he is feared and loathed by many established politicians, corporations, and newsreaders, this may be a key marker that he has the potential to shake the establishment out of it's lethargy. He is not afraid to fire people, hire people, and find the best people. Trump currently ranks high in public polls and this may indicate the American public is keen to real change in Washington in a new flamboyant package.
On the surface his drama, hairstyle, and braggadocios nature may not seem to be presidential qualities to some. However, has the time arrived to elevate someone with a bold in your face persona and divorce the idea that a US President must be hippest kid on the block, or the first this or that to hold the office. Someone unafraid to speak plainly, make a few mistakes, and jockey America back to greatness may be exactly what we need to break out of our recent national funk.
While the establishment busily digs and jockeys for ways to get Trump out of the race, I say bully to his run and bold pronouncements. His talk has enlivened the nations political conversation and is forcing other candidates to talk the talk of real issues.
In my opinion, Trump is a worthy contender and in the motto of the famous French American Revolutionary War patriot Marquis de Lafayette ... "why not."
