Trump speaks my language

Thu., Dec. 15, 2016

I am so not politically savvy in so many ways; however, when President-elect Donald Trump speaks, I get it. When Trump says he doesn’t want Boeing to unnecessarily spend so much money to upgrade Air Force One, for whatever the reason, he spoke my language. That, like so much federal spending, is unnecessary, to say the least.

I just learned that $85 million was spent on President Obama’s vacations in the past eight years, going to places like Hawaii and Martha’s Vineyard. His election platform was to help the poor and middle class of this country, so this spending is hypocrisy.

Hooray that Donald Trump will be our next president. Being the successful businessman that he is, who better to turn our country around and make America great again.
