I believe much of life and leadership follows a pendulum of change. Four years ago, I thought a shift away from Trump was needed, but now it’s different. Kamala Harris was selected, not elected. And while I respect the hard work of many immigrants, the current levels of illegal immigration are a significant issue—it poses a threat to democracy by potentially skewing the vote toward one side. We’re also funding multiple wars and are on the brink of even more conflict. Under which leadership will Americans feel inspired to defend the country: Kamala Harris or Trump? Trump respects strength, which is often necessary on the world stage. Patriotism, to me, means standing for America’s interests. Trump’s resilience—even in the face of assassination attempts—shows he’s willing to fight against big government, echoing the spirit that initially drove America to seek independence. We need fiscal responsibility, and I respect a leader who collaborates with some of the best minds we have instead of sidelining them. For example, someone like Elon Musk, an extraordinary innovator, should be embraced as an asset, not dismissed or alienated. Trump’s team is grounded in reality and transparency, and I find value in leaders like RFK Jr., who openly advocate for critical reforms. His stance on the FDA, for instance, is bold, promising to end its control over public health measures that prioritize pharmaceutical interests over natural or holistic health solutions. Censorship is another threat to democracy, and the “Twitter Files” made it clear that there has been suppression of diverse views under the current administration. Biden’s visible cognitive decline was concerning, and Kamala’s silence was notable. Beyond that, the culture of victimhood and “wokeism” fosters a disempowered mindset that ultimately detracts from real progress. Additional fundamentals: Under Trump, we didn’t see new wars; his focus was on solutions, not endless funding for conflicts. There’s also the undeniable rise in cost of living, homelessness, drug abuse, and crime under the current administration. Finally, I value the Christian principles that shaped our country’s foundation—principles Trump has continued to uphold. What happened to “In God We Trust”? These values feel at risk under the current leadership.In addition, for a broader view of a constructive future, you could consider other initiatives Trump has proposed, like his “Freedom Cities” concept. This idea, which involves building modern, high-tech cities on federal land, focuses on innovative housing solutions, economic growth, and national renewal. Alongside that, there are proposed expansions in infrastructure, manufacturing, and technological leadership, which many see as critical to ensuring a prosperous, independent future for the U.S.Although the Red Team won this term, the real work has just begun.
