If elected, will he continue the politically correct trend
of neutralizing anything and everything that could/would/might offend even one
person? Under President Trump will we
rename the White House to something less offensive? Will people start naming
their baby boy and girl children Donald or John because gender shouldn’t be an
issue? Will the gardening term “green thumb” be found to be racist?
If Trump runs the White House the way Chemical Engineers
and accountants run Exxon-Mobil, it should work as far as our economy goes.
Albeit, it would hurt like the Dickens for a while as they jerked the economy
around - but remember Reaganomics? Folks hated Reagan back in 1982 for
correcting the Jimmy Carter idea of what America should look like.
Sound familiar? It should, because we
are currently experiencing the downside of fuzzy planning.
There is no doubt Donald Trump is a financial wizard and frankly,
our politicians on both sides of the fence has decimated our finances. Our finances. They’ve promised to give away
more money than we have and borrowed it to fulfill their promises. Their solution hasn’t been sound either, as
they’ve raised taxes to cover it. Why not just quit spending? That’s what my
bride and I do when we don’t have extra cash.
It is as if they cannot see the obvious when almost the
whole country is clamoring for them to stop spending. Ockham’s razor
folks. “In the absence of differences in
predictive ability—the fewer assumptions that are made, the better.” In other words, stop spending and the problem
will go away!
Trump's big challenge would be to surround him with intelligent people and then let them do their jobs without a Jerry Jones attitude of micromanagement. This would be difficult for him and I’m sure it would stunt any cancerous growth in government… Wait, what did I just say? Shoot, maybe that is the answer after all.

Franklin Roosevelt wanted Harry Truman for a VP because Old Harry
was a nobody and FDR didn’t plan on giving him any leash at all. After FDR died, cursin’ Harry stepped in and
did what no one else would have believed possible – he won the war and ran the
country and he did it pretty danged well.
Most people don’t know that before he got into politics and he owned a
five and dime-size clothing store.
Maybe we need a non-professional politician in the number
one seat. Maybe it’s time to elect
someone who will do what is good for the United States over openly placating
and bowing to the whole world. Maybe it’s high time we voted in a person who
Putin wonders what in the world they will do on almost anything. I do believe
the spin machine has everyone believing we need to reelect the same old same
old and rocking the boat with anything else is too scary to consider.
The Donald is promising to cut through the baloney and
create jobs and this appeals to everyone who wants to work, regardless of race
or creed. He’s not afraid to ad lib and doesn’t give a hoot about a script and
most of us find this amazingly refreshing. The Blue and Red are scared to death
of him, as neither group of professional politicians can control him and this
is another big plus for us.
Like I’ve said in the past, anyone they can’t control they
demonize. Will he make mistakes? Sure.
Is he scary and unpredictable? Yup. Will
other world leaders try to bully him?
Maybe once.
In the coming months, they will do everything they can to
discredit Mr. Trump. They will compare
him to Dan Quayle and explain how out of touch he is with the reality of
running a government. They will call him an airbag of smoke and a buffoon and
all because he is a major threat to them.
The Donald might have started this as a joke, but it isn’t
now and he’s not going away. He doesn’t need lobbyist dollars and won’t promise
favors to anyone. Wow, what a concept in American politics! Our Country is a
business and he’s a successful businessman. Nope, Donald Trump isn’t going to
suddenly back down and hand off an endorsement.
He’s seriously running for President.

Another good column in The Baytown Sun this morning, brother. I don't know how the nominations and election will turn out, but I have to believe that it will be within the will of God. He knows what this country needs and in spite of what we may think, He knows the future and what is needed to make that future the best for us. I pray that Donald Trump is not about sensationalism but that he is about sincerity in making a change in the direction that this country is heading. I just pray that he will depend upon the Lord. If he does, he cannot go wrong. Thank you very much, Bert.
The real issue as I see it, is not would he be a good president. I believe he would be a great president and get reelected if he lives through the first four years. The issue: CAN he get elected.

Tracey Fuqua: Great article! Read it in the paper this morning.
Allyce Lankford: I for one am glad to see the Donald shaking political correctness up!!!
Darn good editorial. Unbiased. I loved it.
Mom.
James Connealy: Good bit of supposition on your part. I feel there will be those that find serious fault with your logic, time will tell. By the way, I enjoyed the piece.
Barbara Pugh: awesome blog
SB: I hope he does get elected . . . for more than a dozen completely different reasons.
He isn't a politician . . . like Bert said about Truman.
He is as honest in his ideas as he can be . . . whether they will work or not, at this point doesn't matter, he really thinks they will and he will bust a gut trying to make it happen. I just hope he doesn't throw a rich boy fit if they don't.
If he can fix the economy he's my man and I'm not talking about foreign economy . . . MY economy!!! Get me back what I lost in the stock market 14 years ago in 2001 and the 10 years following. And for those of you who took another hit last month that is a sad reminder.
The Mexican Send Back Thing? He can't do it. I know he wants to, and I wish he could, but it's too late for that now.
Let's imagine looking into the future a year after we send all illegal Mexican families back to Mexico and Guatemala etc. to the poverty and squallar they grew up in.
Babies are dying of disease, starving . . . you get it. All because we sent their illegal parents back.
OMG!!!!! FOX News would shit a wildcat!
So . . . I can't go on 'cause I'm not that smart.
I want him to win. Why? I don't know. He has stupid hair. But it's interesting to watch him answer questions in the nontraditional nonpolitical way.
FU: It is going to be an interesting election year and the state of our great God blessed nation is in the balance.
Joseph Dykehouse: I like that dude. I dont want my President being a nice guy. We need an a$$hole that is going to let the rest of the world know we arent negotiating. I am sick and tired of every country in the world using the good ole stars and stripes for profit but wants to ridicule it when we want something in return. If you want to get an economy going Reagan's supply side economics is good..make it easier to move goods and easier to invest in capital..the only problem is if the market crashes there is no safety net.
Beth McFadden: I hope not...but we have to vote republican..
I just got my first check with our new insurance premiums coming out, and I have a net loss of 400.00 per month... crappola, guess I am looking for another part-time job, or something.
