Trump means freedom
Let’s face it, we are seeing what happens when people whose belief it is that government should be involved in making sure everything is “fair” and “equal” don’t get what they want. We are seeing how they react when being told no. Those of us who voted for Donald Trump want the government out of our lives as much as possible, so we can then Make America Great Again ourselves.
If your idea of American greatness is a strong federal government providing for and making sure everyone does what you want, of course you will be upset. It’s a lot like how we who believe exactly opposite felt the last eight years of the Obama presidency, where D.C. sought to dictate every aspect of our lives resulting in a massive and way too intrusive government and a weakened private sector.
Those of us who did vote for Trump are ecstatic that he is seeking to tear down the very barriers to freedom that hold the American people back. If he is successful, in spite of a the media, then we who seek to improve ourselves will reap the rewards for hard work.
