To all my Democratic friends, please ease up on yourselves over Donald Trump being president. Reading the Recorder makes it obvious that you all seem to be in a state of despair over what he is doing. It should be more obvious to you that this is what our country is all about and what the majority of patriotic Americans want.

If you consider what he is doing, it’s what the Democrats have promised for years. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton expounded on the need for a closed border and control of immigrants. What president hasn’t promised to bring peace? Both parties have talked about unfair trade practices for years. The same with energy independence. And the Civil Rights Act of 1964 should make it obvious that DEI is unlawful.

I could go on and on but it worries me that you all seem to be losing sleep over him doing what your party has promised for years. It all comes down to the hate that the liberal/socialists complicit with the mainstream news media have instilled in you for one man. Stop hating him and pay attention to the issues that you have pushed for in the past. He is doing it for you.
