Trump s Track Record Speaks for

Itself

The success of his first four years shows he deserves four more
By Luke Washe Chieftain Staff
On January 20 , 1961 , John F . Kennedy stated in his inaugural speech , “ Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country .” So why , in recent times , have Americans found it acceptable to burn down buildings , loot businesses , and relinquish law and order by disregarding the men and women who put their lives in danger to uphold the law ?
Time after time , the “ Left ” is constantly speaking of reforming America . The solution is to defund the police and terminate our 2nd Ammendment , the sidential debate in October right to bear
arms . I think of American singer-songwriter Merle Haggard and former Hockey Night in Canada commentator Don Cherry ’ s description of the Democratic Party as a whole : “ They love our milk and honey , but they preach about some other way of living .”
With the problems leading up to Nov . 3 , this election has proven to be vital for the future of the country . On the left , you have Joe Biden , who continues to prove himself a hamster , constantly running in his hamster wheel , with a cause that gets you nowhere .
On the right , you have Donald J . Trump , whose Presidential instincts are equal to that of a lion , tiger , honey badger , or any other animal that dominates their domain .
For the past four years , Trump has proven himself the precedent for all future Presidents and a model for the modern American patriot . In 2018 , the Trump Administration signed a $ 700 billion bill to rebuild and upgrade our military . The largest bill in US history , it gave the military a 2.4 percent pay raise , the biggest since 2010 .

OPINION
One of the many complaints that the Democrats have for Trump is his interest in the economy . However , are they aware that Trump ’ s building of the greatest economy in the history of the United States has paralleled the enhancement of the lives of our blue-collar Americans and everyone else in need of work ?
Beginning in 2016 , the Trump Administration oversaw a drop in the unemployment rate to its lowest point in 50 years ; minority groups have reached record-low unemployment ; more than a million jobs were created ; and a tariff was set on foreign trade ( especially with China ), which led big businesses to once again base themselves in the United States .
While Trump forced big corporations to give jobs back to the American people , small business owners were awarded 20 percent tax cuts , which amounted to a $ 415 billion surplus . The U . S . Gross Domestic Product ( GDP ) in 2019 was up 3.1 percent . Over the course of Barack Obama ’ s eight years in office , the GDP rose only 1.5 percent .
When our President creates the best economy in U . S . history , this doesn ’ t mean he ’ s only increasing the value of businesses but also increasing the number of jobs and wages for the American people . In a column for the Denver Post , Ian Silver III stated , “ Even though Joe Biden wasn ’ t my first or second pick in the Democratic primary , Donald Trump must be defeated this November .” I believe Silver speaks on behalf of many Democrats when he says he doesn ’ t have complete faith and trust in anyone in this year ’ s election . In the United States government , the Presidency is the highest position of authority , one that ’ s responsible for the execution and guidance of the laws created by Congress . The President is the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces . Where and when is it ever acceptable for a group of equal-minded people to think it ’ s OK to elect
someone into high power if they don ’ t have complete faith in him ?
As a proud conservative , I have complete trust in Trump , not because he is running as the Republican nominee , but because he has proven himself over the past four years to be the leader America needs . To this day , the Democratic party has a lack of faith in Biden , even after 47 years of serving the U . S . government .
To be fair , there is a large group of people who genuinely dislike Trump as an individual . Whether you view him as a racist , downplayer of COVID-19 , or are really just offended by his Tweets and aggressive mentality while debating . Trump is a man who doesn ’ t see color . If Trump gets elected for his second term , he plans on establishing “ The Platinum Plan ,” which commits $ 500 billion to create 3 million new jobs and bridge historic disparities in health care and education .
We all hate COVID , but why is it that Biden believes Trump failed to protect the American people when Biden himself accused Trump of xenophobia for closing the border to China ?
Trump emphasizes the economy during the first debate
Finally , if you are offended by Tweets and any other of Trump ’ s competitive ploys , grow up . As Americans , you are expected to put your delicate feelings aside and choose the person on Nov . 3 who is best fit to get things done , sustain our rights under the Constitution , and continue to allow America to prosper .
That person is Donald Trump .
