Letter: The wonderful news of a Trump presidency is just what the world needs
A letter from Stevan Patterson:
On November 5, the people of the United States of America decided with an increased mandate from when he became the 45th president in 2017 that Donald J Trump will become the 47th president of the USA, and leader once again of the free world.
Going by President Trump’s past record the world was in one of its most peaceful periods in many years. On the world stage he was respected and feared in equal measure and this gave him the authority to achieve great things, most noticeably overseeing a period of economic growth, despite the covid pandemic.
Under the Trump presidency the USA was booming, creating more home grown jobs, and people were economically much better off – whereas the current president, Joe Biden, has often been unsure and politically weak.
The Democratic candidate, Kamala Harris, has even lost the popular vote to Trump and this was because she had no clearly defined policy. She was so closely linked to the failed Biden presidency she could not distance herself from policy that she helped shape.
By demonising Trump and his supporters in wild and outrageous claims, this went against the Democrats. The electorate have decided there is nothing to fear as the world and the American people have already experienced a Trump presidency from 2017-2021 and we know it was much better than the Biden presidency.
The selection of JD Vance, a senator from Ohio, as Trump’s running mate and Republican vice-presidential nominee - with his Ulster-Scots links to this part of the world – has been an inspired choice and he has turned out to be a very apt political performer.
Complementing President Trump, that makes for a very strong new presidential team with a clear vision for America. As he is just 40 years old this will mean he will continue the baton of Trump philosophy and legacy years into the future.
I believe the Trump presidency that will put America first, make America great again, restore the world order by taking on China, the EU, other political organisations, countries, terrorists and dictators around the world that have exploited the weakness of the last four years of President Biden is just what the world needs.
By letting everyone know a strong president in now in the White House, the USA will be taken seriously once again and this will bring much needed peace to Europe, the Middle East and other conflicts around our planet.
This in turn will benefit us all in terms of economic prosperity in a new golden age under a Trump and Vance presidency.
