Many in my circle of friends, while recognizing his accomplishments, feel President Trump goes overboard in some of his political speak and tweets. I totally disagree.
We've had some sophisticated and excellent presidents in our history who inspired the nation with their wit and intelligence. We've also endured a few drunken, cowardly and adulterous fools in the White House. All have been men displaying great egos, ambition and elements of exceptional ism. From episodes of soaring statesmanship to acts of downright stupidity, our nation has progressed, declined and survived forty five national leaders.
After living decades in which people holding national public office seem to have shifted from selfless public servants to people only interested in holding maximum political power and raking in copious amounts of cash, I was ready for a Donald or Bernie change in 2016. While my personal politics are totally opposite those of Bernie, I admired his edgy style of demanding big changes to the "system". Trump saw a "swamp" or "establishment" that needed shaking up. I supported Trump because I know how socialist promises always end.
Donald Trump is an irreverent Yankee who spares no insult or cheap shot at his opponents. In the tradition of a gun slinging Andrew Jackson, he is sensitive to any slight or insult and lacks the ability to ignore criticism. He is a "junk yard dog" who seems to truly enjoy the fight and does everything to win. Like Harry Truman, his temper can explode with expletives. His tweet storms often contain ill advised messages and insensitive barbs, but they are part of the complexity of Donald Trump.
I believe the "rootin' tootin' " firebrand who came down the escalator a few years ago should serve his second term and continue to be the hell raiser in chief. Our domestic politics on the left and right with all it's attending bureaucratic inertia and corruption certainly needs further shakeups and reorganization. The decades of broken promises by democrat and republican despots needs more exposure and someone to get real things done for the people. Trump realizes the needs of Americans wishing less government, higher paying employment, better systems of health care, infrastructure and all the other benefits available from an efficient national government. The bowing subservient foreign diplomacy of Obama needed fixing by an "America First" leader unafraid to argue and meet with any foreign potentate and Trump has filled that need.
Despite the partisan hate from the political and media left and concerns from the right that Trump is too abrasive, rich, bombastic and tweet happy I think he is our best choice for 2020. I think of Trump as I recall work bosses from the past who were assholes full of spit and vinegar, but they knew their business and in their success I gained success. Trump is the nations boss and despite his personality quirks he must be respected because he is getting good things done for America. Our economy is soaring and our role as the leader of the free world has been greatly enhanced.
