Thank God we elected Trump

Wednesday, March 26, 2025

To the Editor:

Thank God, most Americans were intelligent enough to see through the sleazy leftist persecution of President Trump and to realize that life was so much better under Trump's leadership.

Gas prices were lower. Trump brought back jobs that Obama said would never return and kept Iran too broke to fund terrorist proxies. Other nations respected us.

When I saw America rise up and soundly trounce the leftists who had been fast-tracking our country toward complete economic and societal collapse by electing President Trump and taking back the House and Senate, I could have cried with pride. Democrats who rant and rave against President Trump after living through four years of the most incompetent, corrupt leadership in American history just don't get it.

As it now stands, their party has all but collapsed because they underestimated the will of the people to choose common sense over lunacy. The Democrat Party will either heed this wakeup call and move closer to the center or their party is toast. Every time they rant and rave against President Trump instead of dealing with the disaster they created in their own party, they lose another dozen voters.
