The people screaming in the streets “No Kings, Trump is a threat to Democracy” are out-of-touch with reality. This country has serious problems, and Trump is not one of them. Out of control immigration, out-of-date defense, pervasive and serious crime, a misguided energy strategy, lethal drugs entering uncontrolled, a broken and ineffective approach to healthcare, an overregulated economy, and weakened status throughout the world. Somebody needed to do something about this.

In an ideal world, like our forefathers may have envisioned, we would look to Washington for help. But our Government has been unsuccessful in dealing with these problems. The Executive Branch of the Biden Administration provided no leadership. The Government was being run by countless Non-Government Organizations populated by hordes of bureaucrats with  no accountability to the voters. Congress is being run by politicians focused primarily on being re-elected. The Judicial Branch has become partisan. Bold action is needed.

Into this fray comes Donald Trump who goes after it with an energy not seen in Washington since Ronald Reagan. In just 10 months, our southern border is being controlled, we are once again energy independent, our defense is greatly improved, definitive steps are being taken to combat crime, Obamacare, the scourge of healthcare, is being addressed, strong actions are being taken to stop the flow of drugs, overregulation is being trimmed, and the USA has an improved image around the world.

I share some of the concerns about Trump’s operating methods. He has a huge ego. He is controversial. He steps on toes at home and abroad. He is clearly pushing the limits of Executive power and authority. But extraordinary times require extraordinary actions.

Inaction is the threat to Democracy. He could have waited for Congress to deal with this, but they chose to fight him instead. Congress cannot even find a way to stay open! Nobody has stepped forward, so Trump has taken charge. We should applaud him.
