That’s a nice thought but how does one prepare to be president? Is there some secret test you have to take? Who would you submit it to? Who exactly is the one who “certifies” that you are now worthy to become president? So how can someone make a pre-determination, or rather a post-determination that Donald J. Trump is not “qualified” to be president?

Those are some of my questions when I hear or read about some self-proclaimed “experts” declaring with certainty that Trump is unfit to be president. Who made THEM subject matter experts on the fitness of a president?

Why don’t we go all the way back to the beginning, to see who conducted the “Presidential Fitness Test” for good old George Washington? Did someone smuggle it in from France? (Oh wait France didn’t have a president!) Maybe the test came surfaced from some Russian contacts the very early Trump connection?

Let’s fast forward to “Honest Abe” Abraham Lincoln. Wasn’t he just some backwoods self taught lawyer? He didn’t even have twitter. How did he become qualified or fit to become president? Who certified him? Did they use an invisible scale of comparison to previous presidents?

Maybe if we come a little bit closer, what about Harry Truman? Wasn’t he just a shop keeper? Oh I almost forgot, he was a military officer during World War I? Maybe that was his qualifier? After all George Washington was a military man before him.

What about John Fitzgerald Kennedy? How did he meet the qualifications to become president? Was it money and power? Did someone give him the “PFT”? Wait he was a naval officer, PT 109 (I saw the movie) but who qualified him, his dad, who?

If we come even closer let’s look at George Hubert Walker Bush, who certified him to be president? Wasn’t he a presidential appointee, ambassador or CIA head or something? Wait he too was a military man, a pilot during World War II. Maybe he had a Russian connection?

Oh now I see, it was William Jefferson Clinton. He obviously was qualified, a lawyer, an attorney general, a governor and he was married to Hillary Rodham Clinton. Surely he had the touch. He was qualified.

What about “Barry Sotoro” aka Barack Hussein Obama? What was his qualification for president? Like many before him, wasn’t he a lawyer? Wait he was a community organizer in Chicago, and he was married to Michelle (forgot her maiden name) Obama so surely he was qualified? He wasn’t a military man (unless you count the Black Panthers)? He was a senator and most of all he was a democrat, just like Jack Kennedy before him, he had to be qualified?

Well that brings us to “The Donald” as he liked to be called, Donald J. Trump. Who administered the “PFT” to him? Who set the bar to become president? Actually who told Trump he had permission to go forward with his bid to be president? Who told him business dealings with Russia would be a disqualifier, rather than actually selling Uranium like Hillary did? Isn’t he just a rich businessman with money to burn and going after the job of president is just another feather in his cap? He doesn’t even like America (some have said), not as much as he likes himself?

What I see in President Donald J. Trump is a man who has answered a calling that few could or would.  You see it isn’t something that gains anything additional for a man who has virtually everything one could ask for, family, money and possessions. What I see is a man who saw the awful direction this country has spiraled into and decided that enough is enough.

Like many of us who see nothing but corruption in government every time we turn on the TV. We see congress men and women acting downright outrageous, making ludicrous statements and doing nothing, nothing without somehow being financial “enlightened” in their bank accounts for passing things like the “bridge to nowhere” and studying how sand fleas mate or some such idiotic thing?

Not only did Trump see the corruption, but he decided that he COULD do something about it. He is not a man who does anything to fail. Failure is not acceptable. Trump does everything I say again EVERYTHING to win. Why run a race if you’re not going to TRY and win? Trump doesn’t stop at trying, he plays to win.

So when politicians try to lay the political blame game on him, he doesn’t fall for it. He doesn’t act like a politician. Maybe he doesn’t act like a lawyer either? Trump is a successful businessman and applying successful business practices is something that has not been applied to government before. At least not by someone who knows how to be successful in business, Trump is a negotiator and intent on pulling the best deal out of any negotiation he is engaged in. That holds true on the international scale as well.

As President, Trump has faced his fiercest battles with congress and the media. Some have said he is trying to circumvent congress while trying to stifle the media? I say hogwash. Trump is trying to motivate/shame congress over their lack of ethics and refusal to do the job voters have sent them to congress to do. As for the media, Trump has put their unethical tactics and fake news stories front and center where even a blind man can see them for what they really are – fake news. Any reporter or news editor worth his or her salt would take that as a challenge to simply report the news, not create fake news. I just wonder when the White House Press Secretary will simply withdraw the credentials of reporters from CNN and others and replace them in the press room with reporters who are committed to integrity in their reporting?

If you decided to run for president would you be able to pass the same “Presidential Fitness Test” that the congress and the fake news folks have declared was flunked by President Trump? Who would let you know if you passed such a test? – I am the Real Truckmaster

Sorry folks but I can’t hold back any longer, but they are nothing but the epitome of an Oxymoron if I ever saw one. They sit in their “ivory” tower in New York City, yes I said New York City and do absolutely nothing about the injustices and atrocities being committed around the world today in 2017.

Just look around at the continents, Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe. How many countries are currently committing genocide on a massive scale that makes Hitler’s atrocities pale in comparison?  Many of those countries are where the United States has deployed covert special operations teams in an attempt to maintain stability and/or prevent genocide from happening.

What has the U.N. been doing, casting stones (voting against the U.S.A.) for deciding to move the US Embassy into Jerusalem because our President said so? Come on?

Why doesn’t the “Blue Helmets” go into North Korea and put an end to the reign of “Rocket Man” and free the Korean masses enslaved in slave labor camps working the coal mines so the social elites can live the life of luxury in the capitol city?

What about going into Africa and stopping the abduction of young women to be held as sex slaves by a group (s) of men and boys who do so brazenly and with impunity?

Maybe take a look at the religious persecution of Christians in the Middle East by ISIS and other Left Wing Muslim Extremists Groups, where a whole population who don’t bow to Mohammad are being sought out, forced to flee or are outright killed for their beliefs?

Look at what’s happening in Afghanistan where terrorists are and have been affecting the population of an entire country and the only choices are joining to fight Americans or die (That’s a die or die situation)?

I could go on and on, but instead of voting against these acts against humanity, the UN simply ignores what’s going on because they seem to be living (expenses paid by the US taxpayers) in the United States and rubber stamping the dictates of a select few who exercise their power over other members.

I’m glad that the US Ambassador to the UN has the internal fortitude to stand up to these whiney and grumpy old men and women of the United Nations and tell it like it is.

I don’t know what kind of “treaty” or contract the US has with keeping the UN on our soil, but I would hope that the President and with the backing of the Congress of the United States (both House and Senate) would stand up and demand that the United Nations relocate immediately to some distant land and do so without the financial assistance of the United States.

I can think of a number of locations that would be suitable. Some place where it’s sunny and warm year around, not affected by the weather that comes to New York.

How about the Bikini Islands? I hear that it currently has no inhabitants, thus no crime of any type. – I am the Real Truckmaster

Rewriting the Book of Can’t

It would be funny if it wasn’t so true, prominent people “in the know” seem to think that telling President Donald J. Trump he can’t do something is going to make him change his mind, it only makes him that much more determined to push on through.

Before he decided to run for president, the name Trump was well known in New York City, Atlantic City and all the way down to Florida for his real estate deals. There were some that fell through and cost him a tremendous amount of money, but that didn’t stop him. He just found another way and his philosophy seemed to be never give up.

As President, Trump is a wild card and that scares those people “in the know”. He is brash, outspoken and at times very unconventional. He is the quaint essential un-politician. Trump has written several books (which I’ve yet to read), and even today he is rewriting the book of politics, the book of “You Can’t Do That”!

While other presidents have used various media to get their messages out, Trump has grasped social media in a way that others could not. Roosevelt used the radio for his fireside chats talking friend to friend. Reagan used television a media that he knew. Obama used late night talk shows and thought of himself a star. Trump used Twitter (and now X) to get his message across and that makes everyone in the media or on the left have a fit. When technology changes, so must we. That is exactly what Trump does.

When Donald Trump speaks what’s on his mind, it’s not just a casual off the cuff remark, but has had much thought behind it and Trump tells it like it is. Because it’s spontaneous and unpredictable it may come across as crude or “not presidential”, but the media is all over it like flies on……….honey.

So why is it that prominent world leaders know exactly what Trump means, yet so many (or so few liberal) Americans can grasp it?

I find it refreshing that a successful businessman can do what he does best – look at government like a business, bring in fresh, experienced and highly successful businessmen and women to evaluate the situation to bring about much needed changes much like a clock maker, fine tuning a Swiss watch. Changes aimed at bringing back American pride; pride in manufacturing; pride in working toward the American dream. Having pride in the accomplishments of the people who make up the American workers, through hard work, dedication to service and helping others is something to be sought.

Being so proud of yourself that you resent what you don’t have and the only outlet is to lash out at symbols of freedom and use all your energy to tear down anything that you feel is “oppressive” or representative of something evil in the past. How oppressive is that?

Turn your energies into something positive. Our government has become so huge it’s like a machine that gobbles up people and spews out rules, regulations and laws aimed at enslaving society as a whole and having gone unchecked for so long it is time for someone to say “check mate”, “Stop”, “There has to be a better way”.

President Donald J. Trump is not the savior of America or of the world. Unlike his predecessor who sought the office of President for various reasons and said he cured the economy while nothing changed for the better. Trump knows the savior of the world, Jesus who is the Christ, and when following the leading of the Holy Spirit of God things do get better for America AND for the world.

It has been a long time since one man has been so determined to bring about real change in government without a hidden agenda. The Trump agenda has been from the start to “Drain the Swamp”, although it began as a campaign slogan, the rumbling we hear coming out of Washington is the sound of the swamp creatures who are afraid of being drained as their power is taken away.

I don’t see that Donald Trump came to office for power or prestige, he had all that. Nor did he take on the job of president for money, he had more than enough. He didn’t do it so he could fly around in Air Force One, not when he had Trump One with golden faucets and all the elegance of HIS own choosing.

President Trump didn’t seek power so he could be ridiculed over every word he said, his employees were totally committed to making sure he was happy and satisfied on everything he saw, felt or touched. As far as worldly riches, Trump had it all. What a far cry for the man who had everything money, power, prestige, a family whom he loves and they love him.

So why would Trump take on the job of president? Because deep down inside like many of us, we tend to see something wrong and think to ourselves “Somebody outta do something!” and we forget that we are somebody and we can do something. Donald Trump said I WILL do something. I will run for president and I will win. Everybody laughed at him.

They said it couldn’t be done. Even the California politician who had no defined plan or policy idea about fixing what is wrong in America and everybody laughs.

If I know one thing about Donald J. Trump (whom I’ve never met), when you tell him it can’t be done, he will prove you wrong. I don’t know of anything that Trump has ever done in his life that he has not done to win. Failure is not an option with Donald Trump.

Quitting is for losers and Trump is not a loser.

President Donald J. Trump is for America winning again on the world stage. Yes Trump is an actor and he doesn’t put himself into a situation or “reality show” where he plans to lose.

Love him or hate him, Trump is for you – winning again.

Trump was the 45th President of the United States of America and means to put America First – secure our borders (build that wall); rebuild our military (prepare for war, live in peace); Talk Straight (say what your mean) and Mean What You Say; hold your loved ones close and your enemies closer.

Stay focused – keep the goal in sight and above all “Run the race to win”.

In everything you do, do as unto the Lord. Do it to please God above, not man below.

If you live to please man you aren’t living at all. – RTM

Let us take a look back after the election of 2008 and see if there is in fact any thing new under the sun?

1-24-2009

With the campaign over and the new president in office I wonder how different things will be in America and in the world. Running on a campaign of change, with echoes of Presidents Lincoln and Kennedy I trust that he will do the right things for the right reasons and go further than either of these two previous role model presidents.

Americans want to identify with President Barack Obama and see this country change, change for the better. The economy is at its all time low, the lowest since the great depression.  Wall Street has been shook at the core. The government bailout of huge financial institutions, as well as many other corporations who hope to get on the gravy train, are yet to be funded. In fact, where will this funding come from? Who is holding the proverbial bag? The amount is so vast that many Americans simply ignore it hoping it will simply go away.

Congress is pressing the new president to make those funds available, when some of those same congressmen are the totally responsible for the financial crisis we are in. When will Americans wake up and demand an accounting from them?

The war in Iraq is seen as a mistake, yet many Americans do not realize that we are on the verge of the greatest trials to befall America. Trials that will make the twin towers barely a memory. It’s obvious that the terrorists will test this new president. It will be a test of America. War is not the answer, yet failing to prepare for war is not an option. War in it’s self is a two edged sword, it feeds the industrial complex, while depleting the very lives it is trying to save.

The American media coverage of the election was decisively stacked against the incumbent president. It was responsible for the perception that the democratic candidate would be so much better. I believe that several factors were responsible for the republican loss. Over confidence, underestimating the fact that America would do just about anything to put a democrat in the White House.

When the democratic victory came, many Americans could not handle it. It is a testimony to our culture, and the overwhelming desire to get God out of America that brought out the worst in America. When a people who do not respect themselves, publically display outrageous disrespect for the outgoing president, they shame us all.

Now let’s talk about change in America.

Change for change sake is not change. Unless something is broke, don’t fix it. When you’re not part of the solution you’re part of the problem. These sayings should cause people to stop and take a second look at what needs to be changed, really!

Granted, America needs a better way to handle health care, but don’t go down the same path as Canada or France. We have the expertise right here in America with new ideas that can overhaul our current system and become an example for other nations to follow.

America needs to overhaul our social security system so that our children and our grandchildren, and their grandchildren will not be left out. No grandchild left behind!

The American political system needs serious reform. Since when has being a “public servant” ceased to exist? When we send our representative to state or national service, it should be for the good of the people in that legislative district. The longer one is in political office, the more power is given and as another saying goes, “Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely”.  The Bible calls “The Love of Money is the Root of All Evil”. We see that is true even today.

Gone are the days of “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington”. Today it’s “Give Me, Give Me, and Give Me”. When are we as a people going to wake up?  Go back and read the fairy tale of “The Pied Piper”. They wanted change too.

Do we really want the government into our daily lives? Do we want someone coming around and telling us that because we have 2 cars, we must give one to someone who has chosen not to work, but to live off government subsistence? Do we want government to tell us what we can watch on TV? Or limit us on how many of ANYTHING we can have? Next it could be how many children we can have, before the government steps in to force abortions.

We really don’t know how far this could go. All we have to do is to look around at other countries who have tried Communism, Marxism or dictatorial styles of government. Read in recent newspaper articles about the wave of genocide in the Congo. Families and soldiers are running for their lives to get away from the rebel forces making changes. – I am the Real Truckmaster
