The Democrats want to spread fear among the readers; they have nothing else to hang their hat on. Trump has his work cut out for himself if he wants to undo the atrocities of the prior administration and make America great again. Readers remember his last term in office and what he accomplished as a green politician. He now knows his opponents and at what lengths they will go to destroy America with their Socialist New World agenda. So let’s go over a few items.

Years ago, I was a division chief consisting of 92 personnel. I certainly couldn’t manage all those people myself, so I had three branches under me with managers, and under them were team leaders. Each responded up the ladder. I also had a deputy and a tech advisor helping run the division. This leadership team was selected by me, not the division personnel. Ultimately, the buck stopped at my desk. Trump similarly carefully selected his cabinet heads and Musk to help him run the country. As expected, mistakes will happen, adjustments made, lessons learned and we will be stronger for it. You can’t make mayonnaise without breaking a few eggs.

As for USAID, they were throwing our taxpayer dollars at anyone raising a hand. About 80% is being cut due to fraud, waste and abuse and funding our enemies. The good 20% was kept and with proper monitoring will grow.

The Veteran Administration employs nearly 500,000 people after 2,500 employees were removed via “probationary employee dismissals and the elimination of diversity and inclusion jobs” weeks after Trump took office. He is cleaning house like he promised. The VA is “exempt from federal hiring freeze and continued to hire for mission-critical positions.” Keep in mind Trump created the White House VA Hotline in 2017 and in just two years it received 250,000-plus calls, or nearly 340 a day.

As for Social Security checks, mine is directly deposited to my bank automatically. But keep in mind SS has been running a shortfall since 2021 which has been made up by surplus funds which will run out in 2035. Without action, recipients will get about 83% of their anticipated benefits and poverty among older adults and those with disabilities will soar. No one to date wants to address the monster under the bed. I expect Trump will take the bull by the horns during his administration.

Biden’s diverse cabinet included Sam Brinton, a gender non-binary official employed at the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy, arrested not once but three times for stealing women’s suitcases and wearing the womens’ clothes. Normal sentence is 20 years in prison, but he got a sweetheart plea deal and served no time. Need I go on? And they complain about Musk!

Bureau of Labor Statistics report on the Biden presidency — prices increased 20.3 percent, workers made 3.4 percent less, inflation outpaced wages, interest rates highest in 23 years, mortgage costs 89 percent higher, credit card interest highest in 30 years, personal savings rate near record low … Just prior to Trump I paid $3.19 for gas, today I paid $2.85, about a 12% savings. Wait two years and then complain if warranted.

Biden allowed Chinese spy balloons to float over our most sensitive military installations not once but at least four times and allowed China’s police force to reside in our Chinatowns around our country to monitor our Chinese immigrants. Never under Trump!

The FBI’s Mar-A-Lago classified documents photo/investigation was a sham, just like the two impeachment trials. I believe that the FBI placed “cover sheets” onto alleged classified documents found in the raid to make the photos seem scarier. Then the media ran with the doctored evidence to slam Trump. So, Biden’s FBI not only raided the home of his opponent and arranged a photo session, but they “planted evidence” to convict Trump. Charges were dropped and documents are being returned to Pres. Trump.

We are only 50 days into the Trump presidency and look what has been accomplished. Trump is pulling out all stops to accomplish all he can in two years should he lose Congress’s majority during midterm elections. If he does lose the majority, the Democrats will kill all his initiatives like last time. You’d best hang on, for Trump is not wasting time making America great again.
