I'll be damned!

I never would have thought it would happen, but Donald Trump is going to be our new President. That's pretty clear now, unless someone decides to assassinate him before the inauguration. I hope he at least gets a chance to show what he can do, or screw things up, whichever comes first.

It should be apparent that I'm not a huge fan of Trump, but at least he says the things someone needs to say without worrying about the political fallout. We should build a wall, even if we have to pay for it. We should stop immigration from Syria, or all Muslims for that matter, until we are 100% sure they are not terrorists. We should cut back on foreign aid. We should stop being the world's policemen. We should have a strong military. We should stop supporting people who simply choose to be supported. We should say "fuck you" to countries who accept our aid but flip us off because they don't like us. We should cut back on government.

Mr. Trump obviously likes to be liked. Maybe he's in this thing for the wrong reasons, but if being liked is his real goal, then he will do whatever it takes to get the most people to like him. If he brings more jobs, if he makes us safe, if he lowers our tax burden, if he keeps us out of wars to save the unsaveable, what's not to like?
