Support for Pres. Trump

July 2, 2025 by Guest Post

by Jerry Esmay, Stevensville

Wow! The liberals are freaking out everywhere. We are being told that President Trump’s attempts to reduce the federal workforce, eliminate waste and fraud spending, to deport the hardcore criminals who were allowed to flood our country under President Biden and to stop Iran from having nuclear weapons are “unconstitutional.” Well, that’s not the way I see things.

Anyone who has visited Washington, D.C., has to have wondered why we have so many federal buildings housing so many federal workers. What do all these folks actually do? I certainly had those thoughts on my first visit in the 1970s. If you take the time to investigate these questions you will quickly see that many of the federal agencies were established to react to an immediate need but were initially not intended to become permanent. Unfortunately, once established, they are difficult to eliminate even if their need has passed. President Trump is making an attempt to uncover these un-needed situations.

The DOGE folks have uncovered really unbelievable stupid waste and fraud already which we should all agree needs to be eliminated, but not the liberals.  You would think President Trump is trying to close all of our hospitals or something. We continually hear the Democrats contending that he is going to eliminate Social Security and welfare programs. Not the case but it has been shown that all of these programs need to be cleaned up and investigated further.

The recent rioting occurring in many “blue” cities which has resulted from the President’s programs to identify, find and deport hardcore illegal aliens really blows my mind. How can you not be in favor of getting rid of these criminals? Well, you don’t have to look very far to see that the liberals are simply lying about these programs. Recently the mayor of LA was quoted as questioning who would be left to handle childcare and work in gardens if this deportation continues. Federal-level representatives are trying to tell you that these were peaceful demonstrations and that no illegal activity occurred. This is very comparable to the lies we heard about Biden’s mental fitness – don’t believe your eyes.

President Trump’s decision to destroy Iran’s program to produce a nuclear weapon had my complete approval. It has been absolutely clear to me that Iran was a threat to the world should they achieve nuclear weapon capability. The surgical strike that our military carried out will go down as textbook perfect.  

I support what President Trump is trying to accomplish. Really, it is what he promised to do and what got him elected.
