Trump’s re-election important for U.S.

Trump’s re-election important for U.S.

To the Editor:

“I hope they both die” are words expressed by some lefty Trump haters when they heard that President Trump and the first lady tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. This attitude is no surprise because the name calling, scandal tattling, mocking, dredging up of prior comments and false accusations are what we are subjected to from some supporters on both sides.

Now we are at a point in this election cycle where it is time to pin down what really counts in choosing a President of the United States. To my mind it is tested leadership ability, straight talk, promises made and kept, a believable concern for all of the American people, creating prosperity and finding solutions to problems. I expect a President to be active and engaged while full of energy, spirit and patriotism. One who will maintain our social order, national security, law and order, individual liberties and constitutional freedoms. These qualities are what we have now in President Donald Trump and his re-election ensures these characteristics will continue in our President of the United States.
