Take a second to digest the week Trump just had:
• Trump stole more than $2 billion dollars from the government
• He sharted himself in the middle of a public speech
• Trump was secretly helping Putin in 2020, leaving him subject to blackmail
• He called Putin more than a half dozen times while he was in possession of half a dozen boxes of classified documents
• Elon is rigging Twitter to help Trump while spending hundreds of millions on his campaign
• The Trump administration killed the investigation into a Supreme Court Justice that saved him from a criminal trial
• Trump lied about red states not receiving disaster aid while Republicans are accusing Biden of controlling hurricanes
What the polls are saying: Harris-51%/Trump-49% chance of winning
We live in the twilight zone

Someone recently asked me why I like Trump. My answer was that I don't really have to like Trump.
This election is not about choosing the most likeable person.
We are voting between two vastly different ideologies. We are voting for the country we want to leave our children and grandchildren.
Trump represents that future and has proven that he can deliver. He is a patriot to the core and even served his country for 4 years without pay.
That moment when someone says,
"I can't believe you're voting for Trump". I simply reply, “I'm NOT voting for Trump.”
I'm voting for the First Amendment and freedom of speech. I'm voting for the right to speak my opinion and not be censored.
I’m voting for secure borders and LEGAL immigration. I am voting for election integrity to include mandatory voter ID. (Why would anyone vote against this?)
I'm voting for the Second Amendment and my right to defend my life and my family.
I'm voting for the police to be respected once again.
I am voting for law & order and an end to allowing protesters to trespass and burn our cities, destroying innocent small business. (Tim Walz)
I am voting for personal responsibility and the end of the revolving door where criminals are being put back on the street. (Kamala Harris)
I'm voting for the next Supreme Court Justice(s) to protect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
I’m voting for a return of our troops from foreign countries and the end to America’s involvement in foreign conflicts.
I'm voting for the Electoral College and for the Republic in which we live.
I’m voting for the continued appointment of Federal Judges who respect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
I’m voting for keeping our jobs to remain in America and not be outsourced all over the world - to China, Mexico and other foreign countries.
I am voting for doing away with all of the freebies given to all of the illegals and not looking after the needs of the American citizens and homeless veterans.
I'm voting for the military & the veterans who fought for this country
I'm voting to keep men out of women's sports.
I’m voting for peace progress in the Middle East.
I’m voting to fight against human/child trafficking.
I'm voting for Freedom of Religion.
I am voting for the return of teaching math, history, and science instead of the indoctrination of our children.
I'm not just voting for one person.
I'm voting for the future of my Country.
I'm voting for my children and my grandchildren to ensure their freedoms
America is the greatest country in the world, hense why everyone wants to immigrate here. So why do you want to change it?
Why do politicians want to enact policies that have failed in other countries throughout history?
I'm not voting for Trump.
I'm voting for America.

And DJT saying its worth $xxxx amount of money don't mean $h!t in the end. If the bank is stupid enough to take his word over doing their due diligence then the person running the loan dept should be fired and black listed in the industry! So its a very silly argument to make against him.....can you call him out for lying about the value if he's doing it in public like on TV or in a conversation, sure...but to bring charges against him for over inflating the value of something when he has NO DIRECT power to influence the outcome is just plain stupid!

In the case of a new sale after being held for years, yes the asking price can be significantly higher but certainly not 15X higher!

Why not simply tell the truth? Oh, that's because he CAN'T when a lie pumps up his ego bigger than his 30,000 sq ft condo!

Jupiter, instead of just trashing Trump, can you please enlighten us with the details on how Kamala is going to deal with the economy/inflation and national security/migrant crisis. I call it migrant crisis as they have found a loophole that brings them in through other landports. She/Biden are an absolute disgrace, as is your supporting them just because of your hatred towards Trump.
