Letter to the editor: Trump is raising up America
America has been on the rise since President Trump took over as commander in chief. Here are some of the stats, courtesy of a Jan. 20 White House fact sheet titled “The Historic Results of President Donald J. Trump’s First Two Years in Office”: 5 million new jobs; unemployment rate below 4 percent; 4.6 million people lifted off food stamps; largest package of tax cuts and reforms in U.S. history; tariffs on $250 billion in Chinese goods; end of the war of coal; end of Obamacare penalties; $6 billion to fight the opioid epidemic; $100 million to hire more police officers; the First Step Act for safer communities.
The stats go on — he has tremendously helped our veterans and current members of the military active members. Not bad in just two short years. Imagine six more years. I don’t see why not; let’s make it happen!
