OPINION:
I respectfully disagree with those who think Donald Trump is not fit to be president of the United States. We have had decades of Republicans in power, and then Democrats in power, and then again, Republicans in power, and nothing has changed. It’s time to shake things up.
I realize that Mr. Trump does not know the political landscape as well as all these “professional politicians,” but I’m sure he’s knowledgeable enough to surround himself with those who do know it. Some may call this arrogance; I call it confidence.
Years ago many were uncomfortable with a Hollywood actor becoming president, but I think he did a pretty good job. Dwight Eisenhower was a military officer, Abraham Lincoln was a lawyer and John Adams, a farmer. Maybe it’s time to break with the status quo and let a successful businessman take the lead.
