In this highly politicized and divided world we find ourselves in at this time, we often end up in the position of needing to explain (and for the most part even defend) our support for Donald Trump as the president of the United States. With the relentless media smears and character assassination this man has endured, it is understandable that many of our friends and family are struggling to understand where we are coming from. And so here we would like to lay out our perspective and position that leads us to be endlessly thankful to have Donald Trump as our POTUS and leader of the free world.

The way we like to explain our support for Donald Trump is twofold: (1) Policy and how we believe the country should be governed and positioned on the world stage, (2) The view of Donald Trump as a figure head in the fight of good vs. evil. As we see it, Donald Trump is on the right side in both categories.

The reason it is helpful to think in these terms is because it can bring understanding and bridge gaps with those on “other side of the aisle”. As we see it, we will and may always disagree on politics, but as good people, we think that we can all come around to agreeing on supporting good over evil. Let’s get into this a little further.

 

Policy and form of government

​

From a governance perspective Donald Trump holds on strongly to the United States Constitution which was designed to ensure freedom and liberty for the people of the United States and for protection from a tyrannical form of government, in particular the first and second amendments. Essentially born into liberal indoctrination, we were often told that the constitution is outdated and needed to be brought into the 21st century. After all, it was written so long ago. This argument had us fooled at one time (as shallow as it is), however if you understand the purpose of the United States Constitution, you can quickly recognize that it is as relevant as ever in ensuring freedoms, checks and balances, protecting the people and minorities, and controlling some of the inevitable evils of human nature. These are not things that cease to be important. A major achievement of the Donald Trump presidency to date has been the appointment of a historic number of federal judges to uphold the U.S. Constitution as it was written.

​

We lean right and have libertarian tendencies, as Donald Trump does (for the most part) as a member of the Republican party. For many (especially our friends from Europe) the word "right wing" in itself sounds very bad based on misconceptions and misunderstandings of what the right and the left are. What it means to be on the right and what we will explain here is the belief in limited government to minimize the infringement of freedoms, and overburdening bureaucracy, as well as  a belief in the forces of a free market economy, and the right of a sovereign nation to govern and protect itself under its own rules.

What’s so great about a free market or the scary c-word, “capitalism”? We believe a free market is essential to garner the best results for the use and distribution of resources aided by the forces of supply and demand. We believe that competition is an essential driver for innovation and motivation, giving us the best shot at finding the optimal solutions to solve for humanity’s problems. We understand that some people have a perhaps more “positive” (or we would probably call it naïve) view of human nature in that all humans have equal drive, sense of responsibility, and motivation. With this view we could perhaps understand someone’s leanings towards leftist/socialist models of government. But assuming the opposite to be true, we believe in equal opportunity as opposed to equal outcome as a model for a well-functioning society that maximizes its potential.
