Trump already has exceeded expectations

Posted April 14, 2017 1:00 am

As I watched Neil Gorsuch get sworn in as our newest Supreme Court justice, I realized that my personal mission in the 2016 presidential election was already accomplished.

I was not an enthusiastic supporter of Trump because of his obvious flaws, but there were three critical reasons I voted for him; to preserve the integrity of the Supreme Court, to protect the Constitution and to protect our Bill of Rights.

Hillary Clinton made it absolutely clear that she was going to make the Supreme Court a liberal and political arm of the Democrat Party with the goal of killing the First and Second Amendments. That made the choice easy for me. Then Hillary called me a "deplorable" and the die was cast. As I watched the incredible dignity of President Trump, Justice Anthony Kennedy and now Justice Neil Gorsuch; I realized how President Trump has exceeded my expectations.

Not only did he keep his Supreme Court justice promise, but his cabinet picks have been awesome, he is working hard to keep his promises of repealing and replacing Obamacare and lowering our taxes, and he has made it clear that "there is a new sheriff in town" as he successfully attacked Syria for its despicable sarin gas attack on innocent civilians.

Democrats must be in shock as they watched Trump reintroduce America as a global power for good and as they saw the incredible dignity of the swearing in ceremony of Justice Gorsuch. Maybe they should start cooperating with President Trump for the good of America rather than yielding to the "alt-left" extremists that have forced them to look like such irrational and hysterical children incapable of accepting the fact that they lost The White House, Senate, and House of Representatives. Just a thought.

Rich Lorimer commented incorrectly that in the Soviet Union, boys and girls shared the same locker rooms. This could not have happened, as our school system had very strict rules about sex interactions. I went to Soviet schools for my whole school education and such a thing never happened.
