Trump has shown he knows the job

Americans, especially Independent voters must research what America was like during Trump’s administration. You will see you are not to worry that Trump will become a dictator (nor could he) and you will see America will not turn into a nation of chaos.

What you will be reminded of is the country was economically strong, unemployment was low, taxes reduced, military was being rebuilt, the borders were more secure, Russia/China/N. Korea/Iran were in check. Trump could talk with Putin but remember one of the golden rules: Keep your enemies close. Afghanistan after years of bloodshed was calmed. Also we were more energy independent than ever before. Manufacturing at home was at an all-time high. We were not a perfect nation, but when have we been?

Wake up America, left-minded columnists write with little known facts. Think about your life from 2016-2020 versus the past 3.5 years. When I passed the gas station yesterday, the price for low test gas was $4.19 a gallon. When I stopped in the grocery store, prices of goods were extremely high.

When I got home and turned on the news, it was broadcasting the war in Ukraine, Israel and Democrats were telling Joe Biden to step down. There has been more chaos under Joe Biden than ever under Donald Trump.

Donald Trump is a tough love. He should act more presidential, but he has proven to the world he knows how to run a country and help keep the world more peaceful than it is now.

Column clearly wrong about court decision

I’m mystified why the Daily Herald would publish such a ridiculous, false column as the one by Jeff Robbins on July 11. Robbins says the Supreme Court ruling regarding presidential immunity handed “Donald Trump carte blanche to commit whatever crimes he chooses if he returns to the presidency.”

This is blatantly false and an example of the left’s altering the facts of a case to spread lies to uninformed readers. Presidents — including Joe Biden and Barack Obama — must be protected from prosecution for official actions done as commander in chief. In the cases of criminal acts, Congress can impeach the president and remove him or her from office.

So, please, DH editors: screen these absurd and false articles before publishing them, or at least rebut them as false.
