He knew that if Hillary Clinton were to be elected, this country would only sink further. People were ready for a change because they were sick of seeing this country sold out and degraded. For the first time ever, when Obama was President, this country's credit rating ended up in the toilet.

Many have criticized President Trump for appointing businessmen to his Cabinet. Personally, I prefer having them there as opposed to the Muslim Cabinet of Obama. Think about this, it behooves business to do a good job for America. Why? Because if business does well, so do the rest of us. Think about it this way. If you have a personal financial planner, they only make more money if you make more money. Who in their right mind doesn't want to make more?

Does he, and has he made mistakes? Sure, he has and does. They all do. Frankly, his mouth is his greatest enemy much of the time. However, those who meet with him one on one say that he is sharp and totally unlike what he tweets or says on TV. As for his making mistakes or changing what he thought was the right call at the time, is the sign of a leader. Of course, he lays himself wide open for vicious attacks when he does. If he sticks with a plan, come hell or high water, and it blows up in his face, then those same ones will scream he was just too stubborn to change direction. He, frankly, is in a no-win situation. Any of you, ANY, who has done a perfect job from day one of your current or prior employment, please step up and take his place.

Now for the election, it was either elect him or settle for Hillary and further demise of all our freedoms. As for the electoral college, elections would only need to be held in California, New York, and a couple of other states. Small states might as well not bother to vote.

He may turn into a politician, but I sincerely hope not. He is not a polished speaker, but I feel that he truly loves this country. We had a polished speaker already. The military has a respect for him that they could not have for President Obama because he respects them. He takes the time to salute when he boards his plane or helicopter and when he disembarks. He does not have to be reminded nor are they half-assed salutes.

It is an absolute shame that Obama failed to be the President people expected him to be. He could have done so much. Unfortunately, he listened to no one. Like so many of our young people of today, he was sure he had all the answers. When he didn't, he simply refused to acknowledge the facts, and moved on or just chose to hit the ignore button. I can understand how he got elected the first time, just not the second. Neither McCain nor Romney would have been good, either. Once again, there wasn't much to choose from.

As for the other countries, I think they are just not sure what is going on, yet. I can only hope that they don't judge him/us on personality and like or dislike. It's just a welcome change to have a President that doesn't apologize for us or for being American.

He is exactly right on one other thing, too. Having to be Politically Correct is burying us. Why is it that the only person in this country that can be openly criticized is the President? Why is everyone supposed to walk on eggshells to avoid hurting someone's feelings or making them feel ostracized or discriminated against? If someone getting his/her feelings hurt is the worst to ever happen to them, then they are way beyond lucky. The Constitution guarantees everyone the right to be treated equally, not specially. It also guarantees everyone the right to pursue happiness, but it does NOT guarantee everyone happiness.....only the PURSUIT of it.

No one has to agree with me. That is each person's right and I fully respect that. I only ask that they do the same by me.

By the way, I asked this of another poster, but never got an answer....only more of the racist, anti-Trump, name-calling of everyone rant instead. Can you, or maybe someone else, please tell me explicitly how Russia interfered in our election? All I have ever heard is that "Russia interfered in the election". Are we supposed to simply say, "OK", and move on? I really want to know.
