President Donald Trump talks to journalists after disembarking Marine One on arrival on the southern grass of the White House in Washington, Sunday, May 4, 2025.Ap
A recent letter to the publisher was taken to several of my recent columns criticizing and having fun -to the recent attempts of Democrats to demonize the Trump administration. The author questions whether “the so -called moderate Republicans still believe that his Trump’s endorsement on Harris was the cautious decision”, given what he calls “the chaos that he has reigned since the day of the inauguration”.
A fair enough question to do.
As an independent registered to be tilted to the right, I will try to respond to the consultation as a “moderate Republican”.
More than 77 million Americans voted for Donald Trump knowing that they did not send a conventional politician to the White House. Although the other side can see chaos, their supporters understand the metaphor that you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette.
They do not judge their performance by the traditional gardens. Chaos can be a means to conclude, as Trump begins in his pursuit of remodeling the federal government, in search of fair trade agreements, the abandonment of this country of criminal illegal foreigners and making our allies more self-sufficient and less dependent on the great American time. Has there been autoinfilled errors and gafes in the first 100 days of the administration? Absolutely.
To make Canada our 51st state while insulting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, shouting at the Governor, was a headache and unnecessary. Canada is a friend and a neighbor, and although the President may think that, honestly, that Canada becomes a state will benefit the two countries, he will not happen and he should know -better. The same with Greenland. Stop Jawboning, Mr. President and do what you allegedly do best – make some offers that will benefit our country.
In addition, some of Trump’s executive orders are questionable, such as the end of the citizens of the birth, a direct violation of the 14th amendment. Four federal judges have issued orders with the Supreme Court that agreed to hear the case. Second, it was reported that it was advisable to reduce an executive Biden order designed to reduce the costs of recipe medicines for Medicare and Medicaid recipients. Once again, demands have been filed by challenging the deployment. But unless anyone sinks too much by the President’s 139 executive orders so far in Trump 2.0, Franklin Roosevelt issued 2,819 in his first two terms. Trump is about 360 years old until the President.
And Trump should not talk to the press as much as he does. It is Joe Biden’s antithesis, which rarely felt without a script. When you have an ego and narcissism as great as the current President, his reflections can become a strange stream of conscience, as his recent suggestion that violent criminals “homemade” (North -American citizens) should be sent to the Mega prison of El Salvador. This vaccine conversation only feeds those who believe in their predisposition for autocracy.
Then there is the performative outrage of the Democrats for “Maryland Man/Dad” Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the cause of the media Cleebre du Jour. It was deported this past March due to an “administrative error” to the famous prison known as Cecot (Center for confinement of terrorism) located in El Salvador, his country of origin.
The Trump Administration should facilitate (drafting the United States Supreme Court) its return to the United States so that its due process and its deportation performed correctly, according to the law, can be authorized. It does not matter that his wife had two different complaints of domestic abuse against him, to enter the country illegally, to be stopped in Tennessee driving a car belonging to a human smuggler confessed while transporting eight interstate people. These descriptions, based on facts, have no impact on Garcia’s constitutional rights on the due process and equal protection under the law, the rights that people living in the United States have the right, regardless of their immigration state.
So, with my criticism and worries about Donald Trump’s first months, two questions arise.
First, should Kamala Harris be more considerate? Given his incompetent incompetent intellectual on how he would differentiate his presidency from the unpopular Biden One, as well as his inherent dishonesty that is shown when he promised “ always tell him the truth, even if it is difficult to hear ”, while characterizing Joe Biden’s mental acuity as “ capable in every way ” (Fox’s news interview is not absolutely.
Secondly, do I regret voting for Donald Trump?
No, but I’m very worried that Trump’s efforts and economic agenda may not have the desired effects to eradicate our $ 1.8 trillion annual deficits, which are unsustainable for each measure. In this letter, financial markets return to their pre-tariff ads and the recent work report reflects a robust labor market, despite a contraction of the first quarter of GDP of 3/10 of 1%.
So what if Trump’s plans to reduce waste to government, promulgate fair trade agreements, maintain inflation in control and make our allies more self -employed, while the three government branches remain miraculously intact? Kamala Harris supporters will be honest enough to give it a thumb. Doubtful.
Only 100 days have passed since Trump took office and, however, the letter mentioned in the publisher states in his closing that has not been advanced “towards resolving situations of life costs, Ukraine and Gaza”. Ironically, these are problems that originated during the presidency of Joe Biden and now corresponds to the presidency of Trump.
