Why I support Trump

For me, it was always about country.  Trump said: no borders, no country.  Will Trump build the wall?  Maybe not, but I can almost guarantee that Cruz won't.  Maybe Cruz would if he were to be pushed hard enough.  But I suspect the wall is not a priority with him.  Trump would have to bring considerable energy to get it done.  Cruz would never do that.

Trump may be a little misguided about trade.  I don't know one way or another.  I suspect that some things need to be examined, though.  In my study of the thorium energy proposition, it seems that our government's policy is directed towards ceding China the market for rare earths.  For wherever you find thorium, you will likely find rare earths.  The USA has plenty of thorium deposits.  There's no excuse for that to happen.  The mindless fear of radiation has given the anti-nukes the upper hand in not only stopping molten-salt reactors, but doing the so-called green propositions that will require rare earths.  For example, the Tesla uses rare earths for its autos.  It will require a champion to turn this around.  Maybe Trump can be that champion.

I think Trump can keep his pledge to keep taxes low, but that may be a throwaway line.  For me, it isn't a priority.  For me, to raise taxes on corporations would be a good idea.  They are getting too big for their britches, anyway.  Note how they are pressuring states in changing their policies.  These policies could have the support of the people, you see.  They aren't to be allowed to do that.  They do it too much anyway with their money.  Generally,  low taxes are better.  But these should be for the people, not corporations.  Trump is generally on the right track here.  He needs to do better.

The muslim thing?  It was a sensible proposal.  Our government's policies aren't sensible.  If we get people in office who are so much like the ones we already have, then how can these things change?

On the whole, Trump would do best for the country.  That's the important thing.  Therefore, the wall is paramount, rest, not so much.  The rest can be bargained, but it can't be bargained with the people who are running things now.  They have to be thrown out.
