LETTER: Vote Trump for real change
The June 7 primary election in Montana is approaching. In this campaign cycle, it has become clear for the first time in decades that the delegate process nationwide is crooked, just as things are in Washington, D.C.
Mr. Donald J. Trump has given this country not only the exposure to the corrupt system, but has also shown us how vigorously the insiders and establishment of the corruption inside the Republican Party will fight to keep things in their control for both power and personal gain.
There are several points to make for Donald J. Trump that highlight the success our country could have under a Trump presidency. First off, and what I see as most significant, is accountability for ALL our trade partners across the globe to play by the rules — both in trade deficits as well as currency manipulation.
Many folks can agree, for decades now we have been faced with looming need for welfare and other program reforms, i.e., Social Security and Medicaid. One thing I feel we overlook in this bipartisan debate, under a President Trump and an economically strong U.S. economy we would not even have to have a discussion on these failing issues.
When you bring back manufacturing, bring back millions of good- to higher-paying jobs, the economic growth will make the country and its people stronger. When you have an economy that has robust economic growth at 4 to 6 percent GDP, we no longer have to change, reduce or cut any of the current programs. We have seen over the years the two parties cannot resolve cutting these programs. The only solution is to improve growth in a substantial way.
The country must close its border with Mexico if it wants to remain safe and if we want to combat the drug problem. We talk about the drug problems and yet we act as if it is a local issue. The bulk of the drugs are coming in from our southern border. Illegal immigration will continue and the risks that come with that for both our families as well as our jobs are too significant.
And finally, consider the issue of corruption. Donald J. Trump has shown us exactly how rigged and corrupt the D.C cartel is. Every election, we see samples of how the government and the politicians are not working for “We The People.” They are more interested in the good ol’ boy system and personal financial gain. We must make a change.
We gave Republicans the Senate and the House majorities, and they have simply squandered it all. We allowed the speaker of the House Paul Ryan to dictate his hours and the entire lists of personal demands to be our speaker. It is time to end the corruption.
It is time for Montana to stand strong, demand change. When we see these corrupt politicians, whether on a federal or a state level, not doing what we voted them to do, they MUST be removed. Here in Montana, we must remove any politician or city, county, or state elected official who does not do as they said they would do for our people.
Please join me and millions of Americans across the country is restoring the system both economically and financially, back to hope, prosperity and the pursuit of happiness. Vote Mr. Donald J. Trump. —Troy Dahl, Columbia Falls
