\"DonaldTrump\"<\/p>\n

Donald Tump is in trouble for speaking some harsh yet verifiable truths.<\/span><\/p>\n

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best; they’re not sending you,” Trump said in his announcement speech. “They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Trouble is, much of his assertion can be verified, right up to the point where our Border Patrol Agents were told don’t ask don’t tell, and to release the illegal aliens into the general population with a promise that the illegal will appear at a later date in court.<\/p>\n

I personally find it interesting that speaking verifiable truth is now, “Out of Fashion?”<\/p>\n

I don’t think I’ll be voting for Trump, I’m taking a wait & see attitude about that.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, I’ve long thought that perhaps a business approach to government might be a good thing.<\/p>\n

Businesses have income and expenses and one thing successful businesses seem to have in common is not wasting income. I think our government could use a strong dose of the reality of a budget that’s about being efficient instead of stupid.<\/p>\n

Trump may have done nothing except muddy the Republican field. But I do agree with his basic sentiment. If we have no idea who is crossing the border, but we do have evidence that the folks we’re aware of aren’t the best folks and have a high level of criminals in the mix, then it follows  what he said is probably true.<\/p>\n

I’m not willing to call Trump and “honest politician” but I’m willing to hear what he has to say. A breath of direct truth might not be such a bad thing in the run up to this election.<\/p>\n

It’s funny, we used to value people that spoke their mind, now with public shaming we have them running for the hills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
