Donald Trump is a leader with the mentality of “my way or now way”. Today, his method is appropriate because jobs need to be completed as soon as possible. Everything is a race and competition these days and Trumps leadership skills are qualified to be able to complete everything in a timely fashion with high quality.

Deportations is a start to a very in depth solution, and it is now when the United States needs to start acting to progressively solve this issue.
