Letter: Our country needs Donald Trump

Elect Clinton, Cruz, Sanders or Kasich, and it is business as usual from here on out. Politicians will continue to wield their power not to secure America’s future, but to secure their own financial well-being.

We are at a turning point, and America needs a lion tamer. Someone unafraid to use a whip and a chair to reign in an out-of-control governmental machine. Is Trump a bully? Yep, he sure is! But he is America’s bully! He is the polar opposite of our current apologist-in-chief who continues to hang his head because he is ashamed of being an American.

Newt Gingrich said of Trump, “It’s amazing how rapidly he figures out what he doesn’t know. He has a remarkable set of rules that allows him to make decisions with incredible speed.”

If you are put off by his less than politically correct ways, so be it. You’re not voting for a new Mother Teresa. You’re voting for the only guy in the race who won’t cower before the world, who will bring jobs back to America, who will solve the immigration problem, and who will effectively deal with terrorist threats.
