Mr. Trump may be a lot of positive and negative things, but when it comes to the consequences of letting bad people into our country, he has it exactly right
Early on in Donald Trumps campaign for President in the 2016 race he made a comment that claimed, the worst elements in Mexico are being pushed into the United States by the Mexican government. According to Mr. Trump, Mexico is sending people that have lots of problems to America including rapists, drug runners, and other criminals. Immediately, there was blow-back, and The Donald claimed the media was distorting what he said. Later, in an attempt to clarify, Donald Trump added in a written statement, Many fabulous people come in from Mexico and our country is better for it. But these people are here legally, and are severely hurt by those coming in illegally. I am proud to say that I know many hard working Mexicansmany of them are working for and with me and, just like our country, my organization is better for it. Trump also argued the Mexican government is not our friend and is taking advantage of the U.S. on bad trade deals.
As a result of his statements the popularity of Donald Trump as a consideration for President of the United States skyrocketed.
Looks like reason is in short supply in this nation.
Donald Trump has one simple handicap that has been holding him back. He only appeals to actual voters. Party officials and donors tend to dislike him, as does the press and our enemies in the other party. But the voters are just crazy about him. Something about putting America first, I think. It’s such a novel idea.
