Considering Trump

Been rolling some thoughts around in my head the past week or so. Thought I'd share some. With the biased media coverage and this political era completely going bonkers this past year, at times it is hard to keep facts straight and not get caught up in the distractions and rhetoric. 

Now, let me say right here that Trump is not my first choice candidate...that would have been Ted Cruz. As a matter of fact, I'm a little concerned that Trump until now, has always heavily supported Hillary Clinton and other democratic candidates. Ever since he threw his hat in the ring and began running his mouth, I said that we don't need another dictator, we already have one; even though he may be saying some things I like and that are more in line with my way of thinking. Talk is cheap as we learn when every election time comes around! As the old country song says, "When a president goes to the White House doors and does what he says he'll do. We'll all be drinking that free bubble ub and eating that rainbow stew."!!! In reality until lately anyhow, the president's power is limited and we are really run by congress. However, until congress gets a back bone and stops allowing illegal and unconstitutional things to take place, nothing will change. It will also not change as long as it's a "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" system and worrying about the next election time. I do believe that after this election, no matter who is elected in November, come four years from then, if the Lord tarries, the good old USA will be tired of a two-party system and open to much more. I'd love to see the electoral college gone and the president elected by popular vote across the land. No state should be more powerful than another! It is one country. 

Now, back to Trump....Let's sort out some of the junk. Conservatives think he's not conservative enough. I've wondered that myself in some aspects of his life, considering his past choices. I think "his change of mind" is yet to be seen and it is a wait and see game if he's elected. All I do know is (and I'm still scratching my head over it) that he beat out 16 other candidates to get to this point. Some of those were very good, strong candidates! When I scratch my head I remind myself that God has a plan. (that's what I had to do the last two elections...sometimes nations face the wrath of God for turning from Him as a whole, hmmm something to ponder!) Anyhoo, Christians question his morals based on his casinos and divorces. Hmm...I can understand that to a point. However, none of us knows the ins and outs of the marriages and divorces. Many of the former presidents had affairs (some had many!) while in the White House (literally!) Including everyone's precious JFK! When Bill Clinton did it...no one cared! All everyone said is "it's not that he did it. It's that he lied about it". Just because Trump got divorced doesn't mean he was not a good father. Obviously, his children seem to love and respect him. They have been taught to be successful in things they pursue. I don't know personally (though I may not be up on it) of any scandals concerning his kids. I'm pretty positive that there are some former presidents and vice presidents that cannot be said of them! I'm going to leave the casino thing alone. Not my thing but I'm pretty sure that many current and past politicians in every area have made money in other less than desirable ways. That doesn't make it right but I'm just saying. We all draw our lines somewhere. Some may question him becoming rich because of someone else's addictions. There are times when I question someone becoming rich from running a funeral home so....

Some question him having no political background. (though I'm pretty sure he's been in the circles for years) I'm also pretty sure that's why he's the nominee --people are sick and tired of politicians. They no longer trust them. Besides, that's what good advisers are for! Hopefully, he won't have czars! lol 

Now, let's look at some positives about him. He absolutely knows how to run a company. He is an extremely successful business man. And here, he will be conservative because a person that builds an empire business is not all willy nilly about his finances. He won't be successful that way. So, maybe he will be the one to rein in the out of control spending in America. 

I believe whole heartily that he will rebuild a strong military and maybe even steer us clear of some of the foreign junk going on. I am hoping he will help to make us a powerful and fierce nation that the rest of the world fears enough to leave alone. Trying to appease every other nation is absolutely ridiculous! I guarantee that other nations do not allow outsiders to come to their nation and make demands and cater to them. If you want to be a part of this nation then come be a part ... LEGALLY!... and blend in...don't demand it be the way the country you left was!!!! (that was a free rant)

Now, to the most important reason to back Trump....supreme court judges! The next president will get to appoint possibly up to five! For the past several years we have had our liberties stripped and unconstitutional junk crammed down our throats due to unchecked liberal judges rewriting laws instead of interpreting them. One can only hope that Trump's choices would lean more conservative cuz God help this country if he doesn't! I'm absolutely for term limits on every level of politics!!! Even if you have a good one. I think that there is too much possibility of corruption sneaking in to even the best politician's character. 

Well, I reckon that's all I have to say about that. Just some thoughts to consider---not that I reach many but hey sometimes it's little by little.
