Dear Editor
Before the presidential election in the United States, Mike D’Amour, who is strongly anti-Trump, bet me $5 that Trump would not win. Trump won! I now have Mike D’Amour’s $5. It came wrinkled and crumpled. I could see Mike did not want to give up his $5.
I liked Trump from the beginning. He is a businessman and he never apologizes. Most politicians, at one point or another, give out an apology if they think it’s needed and it comes across as shallow and insincere.
Trump managed to alienate everyone, Mexican, Hispanic, Black and especially women. To win the election Trump had to fight the media, who brought up every speck of dirt from the past on him, he had to defeat the big money Democrats and he had to fight the people in his own party, the Republicans. It is nothing short of a miracle that he won. My hat is off to him.
The day after the election there were still anti-Trump protests in the streets. Female commentators on television, who were all anti-Trump, mouths in hard, grim lines, brought up how terrible things were going to be.
They are not. Trump is a businessman. You can see he has modified his approach. He is smart enough to surround himself with good people. Things will be different and hopefully life will be better for the average working American.
The bottom line here is the people have spoken and the people are never wrong. Hate Trump if you must, but let us wait and see what he can get done.
