Is he really that bad?

People, a lot of us are skeptical. Some of us have faith. Some of us believe. Some of us want to believe. Some of us don't believe. Take a step back and think about everything that has happened in your own lives to this point. We have all seen how unfair life can be. How we from time to time get cheated by the courts, by the law, by a person we trusted. We go to work and receive our pay that never seems to be enough. We watch the news and hear one lie after the next about why we are struggling. We listen to one President after the next say every time how he, or she will be the one to fix it. And we grow old hoping the whole time things will get better. All the while dealing with life's problems. Bills, jealousy, fighting, kids, schools, house, cars. We never seem to have enough time to do what we want or think about the things we want to do because we are constantly tired and busy. We all want something to believe in. Something that when we wake up each day, we can look ahead and think to ourselves, that is why i'm doing this, that is why i'm here. And we can have confidence that the work we are doing will pay off and we will be rewarded for it. We can make plans to do things and look forward to them and be excited about them. And look forward to sharing them with our families. Well, lately in this country things have not been like that for anyone that I could see. It has been slowly getting worse in every way in each aspect of our lives. We are usually too caught up in trying to survive to notice when it started getting worse but I think we all have that moment where we can look back and recognize a slight change. But for me Donald Trump becoming President was at first, no different than any before him. But then I started paying attention to the media harassing him at every turn. I started to get curious as to why they were giving this man so much trouble unlike any other President before him. I found it odd that the intense hatred for this man was off the charts to an unreasonable degree. I was curious as to why they were targeting this man who was just another President in my mind. He was no different than any other I personally had seen come and go to that point in my life. Presidents come and go. Some are liked some are disliked. But this time it was unusual. He was doing something that the media and the establishment and the whole world was not happy about. I started to pay closer attention and I realized that what he was doing, he was doing not for himself, or for anyone other than America and Americans. I saw that he doesn't even take his Presidential salary. I started to like him a little for that. I watched him re-structure the trade deal with China. Not to make himself rich, but to stop the financial bleeding of America. He brought jobs, manufacturing, and money back into this Country for Americans. I liked him a little more for that. I watched him bring our economy to it's greatest success in decades if not in history. And he did all of this while under fire and constant attacks from the democrats in Congress. All of this while being smeared in the media and insulted at every turn. And I liked him a lot for that. And the First Lady being supportive of him and dealing with the snubs of the Media. She handled that with the kind of Class I can only compare to Jackie Kennedy. I watched all of this and I realized that, for the first time since I have been alive, we have a man in that Office that is there for us. A man who is there for the People of this Country. And he is fighting people from every direction. He deserves so much better than that. If people that dislike him knew what he really stands for and what he is really fighting for and how hard he is fighting, they would be ashamed of themselves for ever slandering him. He is truly an inspiration for all Americans . If we could aspire to be half the man he is, we would be lucky. If he is the real deal, then we are watching history unfold. If he isn't, we still have a man in that office fighting for you and me. We should be so lucky. We have all become so used to the way things are, that we forgot how they should be, and CAN be. I see people doubting him and saying his sincerity isn't real. But it is real. And the suffering this country is dealing with is real. The corruption is real. The lies that the media and the Democrats are uttering are real. And the man in the oval office who is fighting for you, he is real. I believe his sincerity is real. And I believe in President Trump and what he is doing for us. So if you want to wake up and go to work, and feel good about your future for once. You should believe it too. Because there is nothing wrong with wanting to believe in something. There is nothing wrong with hope. There is even nothing wrong with being wrong. To believe in something that is bigger than yourself is never wrong. It is your hopes and your ideas of what a good life can be like. That is something that can never be taken from you. That is a dream that belongs to each and every one of us and is unique to us. If I am wrong then I am wrong. But I believe that life can be better and I want to help make it happen. Is that a bad thing? Is it really so impossible to believe that a man who may not be well liked by everyone, might actually be a good President? The message here is that, you don't have to like him, but try to give him a chance before you judge him. And I mean you, yourself, give him a chance without the input from the media. You might see something there that was clouded by the hatred of everyone else. It is at the very least something you can do for our country to take a closer look.
