I've noticed that people that want Trump in office are focused 100% on issues that bother them within the U.S.
I disagree with this statement, and a lot of what was written in this post. I am a Trump supporter by default. The candidate I prefer did not make the cut, and I will not under any circumstance vote for Hilary.
Having said that. I am deeply concerned for a lot of things outside the US border. I am concerned that many of the people in Africa do not have clean potable water to drink.
I am concern about the heinous treatment of women in very strict Muslim countries. I am concerned for children who do not have enough food, or medicine. There are many, many things I am concerned with outside the US.
However this election is for the American President, so how the election effects America, and Americans should be the center of the debate.
I am in favor of free trade, but I am also in favor of free trade. Several years ago Rich Devos, of Amway ran for the Governor of Michigan. His democratic opponent criticized him because he built a factory in China to manufacture goods for sale there. He explained that if you want to sell American goods in China, they must be produced in China. Is this fair? I think we need a President who can negotiate a trade deal that is fair to the US.
And yes, Trump said he will bring back good jobs, because manufacturing jobs are good jobs.
Regarding your statement regarding socialism. I had a teacher at my school who was from Cuba. He warned us that the things that happened in Cuba that lead to that country becoming socialist / communist were happening here, and that was forty years ago. So what are we seeing today? A admitted socialist ran a very strong campaign against Hilary, on a very socialist platform.
Regarding the ban on people traveling here from countries that are dangerous. I am sorry but this is a perfectly logical response to a dangerous situation. We must get a handle on this situation to protect innocent lives. It is not a matter of discrimination, it is a matter of protecting life.
Regarding Putin, have you seen the absolute look of distain and total lack of respect he shows Obama?
One last thing, then a question: Your comment about the confederate flag. I grew up in the deep south, and I know what that flag really represents. It represents the men who fought and died to protect their homes from invaders. The vast majority of confederate soldiers did not care one way or another about slavery. They did not own slaves. They cared about their homes, and their families.
And as for your comments about "rednecks" I am not a redneck, but I do know a lot of them. The majority of them are good decent people who will give you the shirt off their back. They will share a meal with you, even if they do not have enough to eat for themselves. I have seen them show respect to all people, regardless of color or religion. And please tell me, where is derogatory name calling like this showing tolerance toward them?
Now here is my question: Given the fact that Hilary has been proven to be extremely reckless with confidential documents, she has been proven to be a serial liar again, and again, how can your possibly trust her to be President?
