Donald Trump and Why Everyone Likes Him

Yes, I said everyone likes Donald Trump.  Regardless of the rhetoric, hate and certifiable mental illness of the left it is still true that everyone likes Donald Trump.

I remember decades ago as a youngster hearing and getting "vibes" from adults on their take on government.  Though at times people like or dislike the President of the United States at the time the distrust of Congress and government in general remains the same.  There has always been that longing of someone who would truly listen and act in the best interest of the people.  In addition, people sought and still seek a leader who will do what he promises the people.

This cannot be denied.  Not by people back then and not by people now.  In fact, this desire existed since before George Washington walked on to the scene.  So......what gives?

The problem is that people expected their desires to be embodied in some sort of saint.  A shining moral and ethical leader which all men will bend the knee to.  Secretly that is the expectation.  Secretly that is what people desire but would never openly admit to.

Obviously the Democrats on the left, but many Trump supporters also would admit that they may not get along in person with the President.  He is straight forward.  He does take command.  He tells it as he sees it.  These are qualities that most of us are not accustomed to in our circles of family and friends.

Many of the qualities Donald Trump has and exhibits are ones that most of us desire in ourselves.  We want to be able to persuade.  We want to be able to lead.  We want to be rich (admit it).  We want to be fearless in the face of incredible odds.  We want to work with others.  As Americans it is the embodiment of what we want in order to pursue happiness.

Now, I know this sounds like i'm deifying President Donald Trump.  I assure you I am not.  Though I have never seen or spoke with him I imagine I would have a difficult time dealing with him in any stretch of time.  Yet, I can admit many of his talents and qualities are what I strive to acquire.

This is why we love Donald Trump.  There is an essential degree of faith that Americans are expected to exercise as bestowed on us from our Founding Fathers.  This faith manifests in unity and civility where views differ.  Let the man lead as we have every President before of all parties.  If he should fail than so be it.  Yet, our elected officials are duty bound to help and assist the President to move the United States forward.

May we all dampen our emotions and disdain for the elected President Donald Trump.  Let the people of the United States shine once again for all the world to see.  For he is the President of the United States.
