Editor, Gazette-Journal:
It seems the Democrats’ playbook is the same as 2016. Hate Trump, but now it is also Hate Elon Musk. They lost the 2024 election, yet they still stay stuck in the sand with the same old tactics. It doesn’t seem possible the Democrats would continually criticize, scream, swear, protest, and file lawsuits against Trump and Elon. They have no intention of working with Republicans. We even have members of Congress and the Senate on the streets protesting. How embarrassing for our nation and themselves who look like children having a tantrum because they are not getting their way!
As president, Trump has the power to appoint Elon for the task of auditing our government agencies. Those who yell the loudest are usually the ones who are hiding something they do not wish to find. Their only objective is to smear and create fear now that Trump is president again.
Republicans are feeling joy and know things are going to turn around as quickly as President Trump can accomplish his promises to us. On the other hand, the Democrats are so scared of this audit; it wouldn’t make any difference who was doing it. This audit will expose everything our tax dollars are and have been spent on.
The last administration was never transparent about anything and Biden rarely spoke to the press. It is very refreshing to see the press asking questions and getting direct answers. That’s what they call transparency. Being open and telling the people the truth is not something Democrats do. They want you to feel like a victim and to be afraid of your government when they are not in power. They want you to hate and distrust the other party, when they see progress being made. The Democrats do not want Trump or the Republican Party to succeed and it shows their failures.
But the reality is, it is your choice. You can stop being afraid and see what happens in the next year. President Trump came in with a full plate: fire and hurricane disasters, wars, inflation, a divided nation, and millions of illegals the American people have been paying for since Biden opened our border to the world. President Trump has already proven he is keeping his promises.
Trump, Elon and his brilliant cabinet are going to prove you and the world that America is strong again. A true leader looks to the future and plans for prosperity, growth and peace through strength. Trump is a great negotiator and I hope you will at least give him a chance. Wouldn’t it be nice to believe in someone instead of living with anxiety, fear and hate every day? Give it some thought.
