A President for "Such a Time As This"

A President for "Such a Time As This"

Wouldn't vote for Donald Trump for "Pastor of the Year," but he has what it takes to be president. Recent office holders have disparaged America and devastated our standing in the world, so I'm not posting this for debate. Unfriend me if you must.

The bottom line has been that Trump CAN BE a jerk. He’s crude, he gets his feelings hurt and he’s a hot head. His Twitter activities are lamentable at times, but let me tell you what else he is--he is a guy that demands performance. He is a guy that asks lots of questions. The questions he asks aren’t cloaked in fancy phrases, they are “why the hell....” questions.

For decades the health industry has thrown away billions of face masks after one use. Trump asks, “Why the hell are we throwing them away? Why not sterilize them and use them numerous times?”

He’s the guy that gets hospital ships readied in one week, when it would have taken a bureaucrat weeks or months to get it done. He’s the guy that gets temporary hospitals built in three days.

He’s the guy that gets industries to build ventilators and face masks in a business that’s highly regulated by agencies that move like sloths.

He’s the guy that asks why we aren’t trying existing drugs that might help people who are dying--what the hell do they have to lose!

In spite of all the naysayers. He’s the guy that shut down travel from China, when the liberals and the media were screaming xenophobia and racist. Now they are asking why didn't he react sooner.

He’s the guy that ran on securing the border in the face of a screaming press and media. When he shut down borders in the midst of the coronavirus virus they were up in arms over such a draconian move. Then the rest of the world followed suit, including the European Union between member countries!

Has he made mistakes? Yep. Everyone I know would have. All of these experts wouldn’t have done any better. Trump is working harder than I’ve ever seen a President work. He isn’t hiding in his office, he’s out front every day.

Take for instance, all the shortages of PPEs and ventilators. I’m unaware of anything that prevented the governors of all the states from ordering them and for emergency purposes long before an emergency occurred, yet, it is Trump’s fault that they didn’t.

He’s balanced his approach and listened to the experts, when his detractors said he wouldn’t and couldn’t. When he offers hope, he’s lying and when he’s straight forward, he should be hopeful. It’s a no win, because the liberal media hates him and will hurl negative criticism at him no matter what he does, but he is not deterred by all of that BS coming from the press and the liberals. No! President Trump keeps rising above their calculated efforts to undermine his presidency to keep fighting the good fight for the American people and for the status of this nation that he loves.

I’ll take this kind of leadership over that of a guy who disdains this nation but can effectively use a teleprompter to make eloquent speeches.

November is coming. Think carefully about how you'll vote then. The very existence of this nation and the freedoms it affords to you are at stake.
