My friends who are voting for Trump - I have an honest question for you.

[Always in His Presence]

Can you express why you are supporting your candidate without mentioning Kamala? What does he stand for, what has he accomplished that garners your vote?

 

[Hammster]

I don’t particularly care for Trump. I don’t defend what he does just because he’s “my guy”. I have defended him when false info has been attributed to him. But that’s as far as it goes.

With that said, he did a good job with SCOTUS picks last time. So there’s that.

However, we tend to think of elections as a Super Bowl where it’s win or go home. But it’s actually more of a baseball season. You have to strategize to get your team to the playoffs with as many healthy players as possible. So I don’t see Trump winning as the big victory, and neither do I see him losing as a huge loss. But I do know that there will at least be Christians in the WH if he wins, and none if he doesn’t. So while it isn’t a major victory, it will get us going in the right direction.

He had a plan to eliminate the national debt.

I think conditions in America and the world were actually improving from 2017-19. Trump’s handling of Covid 19, I believe, was undermined by the traitor Fauci which cost him the election. Unfortunately, I think Trump had a bit of a mental breakdown with all the 2020 election insanity. I also believe imbedded provocateurs caused the Jan 6, 2020 mayhem & it was mishandled across the board.

There was peace in the Middle East & Europe during Trump’s administration. Our border situation was improving and he was trying to get us out of foreign entanglements (like George Washington warned of).

I believe Trump is presently capable of governing and will probably vote for him or 3rd party as last desperate resort if necessary.

 

[sandman]

People want to focus on his personality and his past morals misgivings ... that stuff is meaningless to me. ....He’s a saint compared to what I used to be.

I would like to see the continuation of what he accomplished as 45 (partial list below).... He has his work cut out for him when he gets into office ...but he is a fighter ....Not with words to tickle the ears.... but with deeds that tickle prosperity and produce growth and security for all Americans.

[Super Kal]

You want me to list reasons why I'm voting for Donald Trump without mentioning Kamala Harris? Sure, I'll be happy to do that:

Donald Trump wants to seal the border and stop the migrant invasion...
Right now, in Minnesota, it is a sanctuary state, not just for illegal aliens, but also for those who want children to have a sex changes without the consent of their parents

Donald Trump wants to carry out the largest deportation operation in American history...
after seeing what's been going on at the border, I 100% support that

Donald Trump wants to end inflation, and make America affordable again...
have you seen the prices of food lately? If you want more proof of this, go look at the prices of food in Alaska

Donald Trump wants to make America the dominant energy producer in the world...
he did that in his last term, and look at how low the gas prices were

Donald Trump wants to stop outsourcing, and turn the United States into a manufacturing superpower...
the more jobs we have here, instead of outsourcing it to places like China, the more working class we have in America, and that makes us stronger

Donald Trump wants large tax cuts for workers, and doesn't want taxes on tips...
this is a huge improvement for all food service workers

Donald Trump wants to defend our constitution, our bill of Rights, and our fundamental freedoms, including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, in the right to keep and bear arms...
this should go without saying, and every single president should want to enforce this

Donald Trump wants to prevent World War three, restore peace in Europe and in the Middle East, and build a great Iron Dome missile defense shield over our entire country, any once it made in America...
if the Iron Dome can work for Israel, then the Iron Dome can work for us as well

Donald Trump wants to end the weaponization of government against the American people...
when our own government violates the will of the people, and the freedom of the people, it's time to get rid of that government and saw something new, even the Declaration of Independence says this

Donald Trump wants to stop the migrant crime epidemic, demolish the foreign drug cartels, crush gang violence, and lock up violent offenders...
for the past four years we have seen the exact opposite of this, and we have seen crime run rampant all throughout our nation, in the spread of fentanyl is even worse

Donald Trump wants to rebuild our cities, including Washington DC, making them safe, clean, and beautiful again...
in the wake Of violent and rampant protests since the death of George Floyd, we have seen a rapid decline in habitability in major cities

Donald Trump wants to keep the US dollar as the world's reserve currency...
currently, the arrest of the world sees our currency as decreasing in value, which in turn hurts us as a country, the more we prove ourselves to be dependable, reliable, and resourceful, the world will continue to depend on our currency as the reserve currency

Donald Trump wants to cancel the electric vehicle mandate and cut costly and burdensome regulations...
the price to maintain an electric vehicle than maintaining a vehicle with a combustion engine. Not everyone can afford to buy or maintain an electric vehicle

Donald Trump wants to cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, radical gender ideology, in other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children...
the schools a day are rampant with the obsession of sex, gender, and race. it is destroying the minds of our youth and forcing the youth to look at everything through the lens of race, sex, and gender rather than the quality of the characteristics of each individual

Donald Trump wants to keep men out of women's sports...
does anything really need to be said about this? Is it really that hard to figure out? Do we even really need to have this as a focus point, or is our society that depraved in degenerate?

Donald Trump wants to secure our elections, including same day voting, voter identification, paper ballots, and proof of citizenship...
the plain and simple fact is this, if you're not an American, you have no right voting for the leader of the United States of America

Donald Trump wants to unite our country by bringing it to new and record levels of success...
I want to see this nation thrive politically, financially, spiritually, I want to see this nation be what it once was, I want to see a nation stand up for itself, not constantly apologizing for everything it does, and not being the laughing stock of the world

Those who haven't figured it out yet, yes, I am reading from Agenda 47, most of the things on there are things that I agree with, and something that we as an American nation should stand behind

awe you missed the OP.

First poster to mess up. But you can edit this out and fix it!

Nope! I will only be voting for Trump to keep Harris out of the White House. Other than that, I really don't like the man that much. Coming from a VERY moderate Republican.

 

[Ana the Ist]

Can you express why you are supporting your candidate without mentioning Kamala? What does he stand for, what has he accomplished that garners your vote?

I'm not voting, but I'd like to see him win.

I don't actually expect he will get much of anything done...policy wise...as I expect him to be blocked by every Dem in Congress.

However, if he begins to investigate Congress and the Senate on corruption charges...I'd be more than happy with the results.

[BPPLEE]

Can you express why you are supporting your candidate without mentioning Kamala? What does he stand for, what has he accomplished that garners your vote?

Not really. I'm pretty much voting against the Democrats.
Trump is not my favorite.
I think he will try to do something about the refugee/illegal alien problem and that's reason enough to vote for him
