Letter to the editor: Businessman Trump best at running country

Whether you like him or not, Donald Trump is our president. He is proving to me that a businessman can run this country better than any politician in spite of all of the resistance from the Democrats, RINOS, never-Trumpers and the Deep State.

There were 266,000 jobs added in November 2019 and over 7 million added since Trump was elected. In June 2016, “politician” President Obama said that manufacturing jobs “are just not coming back” and mocked then-candidate Trump by saying he would need a “magic wand” to bring back jobs.

Fast-forward to 2019. Unemployment is down to 3.5%. We have the best job numbers ever for African Americans, Hispanics, Asian Americans and women, and record-high stock-market numbers. He got rid of government regulations that were hindering small businesses: My brother-in-law had to sell off a few of his franchises and lay off employees or face bankruptcy; he said it was because of some of Obama’s regulations.

Just think what Trump could do with even a little help from “the resistance.” Ask yourself, are you better off today than you were in 2016? Today, I love my 401(k), and thank you, President Donald J. Trump.
