Letter to the editor: Trump should make way for new America-first leader

I think former President Trump’s policies were beneficial for the vast majority of American citizens, but I also think he is unelectable in 2024 because his constant Twitter rants and name-calling have turned off a majority of voters. He should step aside and let a new conservative candidate lead the Republican Party in the next election cycle.

The nation needs strong leadership that’s committed to an America-first agenda, restoring energy independence using all available resources, including abundant fossil fuels; ending idiotic and unnecessary green energy policies that are destroying our economy; sealing the southern border with a strong physical barrier and electronic surveillance systems; deporting those who entered the country illegally and under false pretenses during the Biden administration; restoring the “remain in Mexico” asylum policy; declaring the Mexican drug cartels terrorist organizations and using all available assets to destroy their networks; making importation of fentanyl, heroin, crystal meth and other deadly drugs that are killing over 100,000 American citizens annually federal capital crimes; ending the woke indoctrination of our students and military personnel; and never again committing our troops to attempt foreign nation-building but instead focusing totally on rebuilding our nation and keeping it safe.

These are not radical proposals and are achievable in a relatively short period of time with the support of the American people. If we continue on the destructive path of the past two years, this nation is destined to continued decline.
