I shared the following in a YouTube discussion....

I had only a vague notion of him before this year, not positive or negative,
but the more I’ve learned and the more familiar I’ve become with him, the more I like him.

I’m only five years younger than him and I have a strong notion of how I want to be going forward.
I strive to be physically and mentally active to the greatest extent possible.
Never ceasing to go forward, always learning and using my life to express what I have learned.

When I began to see who Trump was, I saw that he embodies and mirrors what I am and want to remain....
not rich and famous, but a person, going into his later years, physically active...full of joyful ever-fresh life
with an energetic mental acuity, always curious, learning, building and striving forward.

I am inspired and encouraged by Trump.

...and later added this...

To have someone as President with vast executive experience, whose successful endeavors vastly out number his failures,
someone who, most importantly, is an American in thought and in his heart, who loves America
and doesn’t view it as ‘fundamentally flawed’ and needing to be ‘fundamentally transformed’,
appears to me to be exactly what the US needs at this point. He is not ‘right’ or ‘left’, he is American.
He is not paid for and beholden to the donor class. He is not part of the Uniparty.
He is not perfect, as a human he has flaws just as we all do, but I believe he will act in America’s best interests,
not at the Party’s, the Banks’ or the Chamber of Commerce’s behest.
I like Cruz as well and think he would be an excellent choice by Trump for VP.
Each of their qualities would enhance, compliment and inform the other’s.

Here is something I wrote a while back and post from time to time.

As someone about Trumps age, I find it easy to believe his explanation as to why he’s running.

I’ve agonized over the America we are leaving for my own children and grandchildren to live in and raise their families in. Most Freepers here probably feel the same way.

America hardly resembles the one I grew up in. It’s but a shadow of its former self, with freedoms, successes, with respect from our friends, and fear of us by our enemies, all but non-existent.

Trump said he was running so that his family wouldn’t look at him, knowing he could have fixed it, but didn’t.

His own story of building the Trump Organization shows that he knows how to build great empires. Now he wants to make all of America great again.

I think we are but the lucky side beneficiaries.
