Letter: Pray for Donald Trump and for America

America’s choice has been made — for a strong president who upholds hard-fought, long-held values and ideals. We have rejected Obama’s legacy as a failure. Paul Ryan said that it is the “most impressive victory we have ever seen.”

Craigslist has a posting calling for protesters to go into protest mode against our newly elected president, with pay by the way, as reported by FOX News in the “Out Numbered” program. Could it be that George Soros’ money is behind it, like it was for Obama and the Clintons?

President-elect Trump said he will be a president “for all Americans, including those who did not support me and won’t support me.” He did not run for president because he needed the money, he ran because he dearly loves America and its traditional high ideals.

We must continue to pray for Donald Trump and for America. He just may go down in history as one of our greatest presidents if he can do even half of what desperately is needed and promised.
