How about some facts

To the editor:

People sure live up to the opinion label with their letters. Example: describing fascists in the most dreadful way and then saying that describes Donald exactly without citing a single action by him. That is clearly an opinion. 

How about some facts! 

Donald spent decades as a CEO building a multi-billion-dollar real estate company.  The White House needed a CEO that plans, recruits, makes assignments and very impressively stays on top of the assignments. He very much resembles Abraham Lincoln who stayed on top of those who were tasked with his bidding.

By contrast the previous administration seemed to depend upon an auto pen and we don’t know if Biden even knew what was being signed. There is an investigation underway and already his doctor and a couple others have taken the Fifth Amendment.

Is he a nationalist? Donald certainly makes America the No. 1 nation as he obtains $17 trillion of investments in America. 

Donald puts non-protesting Americans first with the Big Beautiful Bill, reducing crime, making America a factor in world peace, protecting our trade with other nations, creating real jobs instead of DEI jobs, eliminating men in women’s sports, which makes women very happy.  Contrast that with catering to those who create a grievance and want a free ride and respectability without effort.

Trump puts America ahead of ideology such as racism and transgenderism which are the former President’s pet items.  That leads only to favoritism and buying votes.  

Trump cut DEI which is an expensive way of providing education or work based upon race, sexual preference etc. instead of your ability and interest in doing a good job.

Minority voters are moving to Trump. 

In the last election Black men voting Republican increased from 10% in 2020 to 30%.  Hispanic men voting Republican increased from 44% in 2020 to 54%.  Why?  Better jobs were available when Trump became president in 2017 and with no Biden, no more loss of jobs due to the open borders.

Trump is acting to change education from teacher’s union control to parent control. Education is an embarrassment in the blue states. In Minnesota, nearly 54 percent of third graders aren’t meeting grade-level reading benchmarks, even though Minnesota spends twice per student what Florida spends. 

Trump is rebuilding a strong military recognizing that you achieve peace only through strength as compared to Biden’s debacle in Afghanistan.  Hundreds of Americans and thousands of Afghans died when Biden turned the evacuation over to the Taliban and left $80 billion of American military items for terrorists to use while giving away our key airbase.

No more invasion, abundant crime and chaos at the border.  FBI reports almost 6,000 crimes in America in the first six months of 2025 were committed by illegal migrants.  Trump is catching and deporting tens of thousands of cartels and migrant criminals.

Now if we could only find a solution for our health care system. Thanks to ObamaCare and Biden’s overspending on the pandemic, America’s health care cost jumped from $2.6 trillion in 2010 to $5 trillion in 2024. Double in 14 years while our longevity continues to be one of the poorest in the advanced world.  Continuing to spend more money is not the solution.

These are facts instead of opinions.
