There is only one Donald Trump, as we know. But there are aspects of where he's coming from that I understand, which is business people that have built and actually created jobs in this country.

We must fix our immigration system so we control who comes and goes, and that starts by securing our southern border.
Name recognition takes time.
I brought attention to the fact that people need to be more involved in politics and not just let the establishment continue to control politics.
We must defend our NATO allies, but we should also ensure that everyone pays their fair share. The United States shouldn't be responsible for funding other countries' shares.
President Obama has proven himself to be a terrible negotiator. I don't support any trade deal negotiated by his administration.
