Just look at the progress our nation has made over the past decade: Our economy is booming, taxes have never been lower, and Americans are rejoicing in a wave of liberty that I embrace with every fiber of my being. As your president, I will apply the principle that ‘government that governs least, governs best’ to every decision I make, every law I support, every regulation I enforce.

This is very unsettling to me that we will have a President that has openly ridiculed disabled people, disrespected our men and women in the armed forces, empowered racism, and a man that is unable to endure any criticisms. Sadly, he is a President that is so gullible, a man that has disrespected women, insulted our current President and someone that changes their opinion in a blink of an eye. A President that has no self-control and throws twitter tantrums daily. A man that once said “I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”…
