Bravo! The six stars are for content, although there are many errors in grammar and commas, which I am going to ignore this time.

Yes, this is the truth all right:

"The bitter truth is, the Democrats and the Socialists will shut down any debate, for they only have hate and an outrage machine dehumanizing Republicans and Conservatives."

They shut down debate since they have nothing rational to say in an actual argument. They don't use words except to invent lies. It won't be long before they begin using weapons, I think. That's what we need. I hope they are as stupid as I think. If they move to violence, our conservative govt can stop them.

    Yes, my friend, there a lot of grammatical slips and typos and I am using my magnifying glass to track them. LOL. Thank you my friend for the exceptional stars. I am overwhelmed and humbled. But more than this, I am happy to meet reviewers who share my views. Thank you for sharing your take on the constant battering of the Conservatives by the American Left and in shutting down rational debates. Thank you very much, with you in America, this country will be even greater. Take care. Susan

Hi there,

I must say that this surprised me. You own portfolio info states your location as 'Asia and the World', not USA, a rather peculiar statement for a proud American writing to their President. Just an observation.

The thing is, in the run-up to the election, this is exactly the kind of behaviour Trump and his team displayed and now he is suffering the consequences of that. It's a total hypocrisy of course, but then that's what most of the world has come to expect from the US sadly.

not being from the US, our take on things is probably very different from those living there, but as the US bills itself as the champion of the free world, the rest of the free world has a right to an opinion on the 'global overlord'.

I also find it strange that Trump is painted as some kind of saviour whilst socialists are frowned upon. It's very oddwith a sizable chirstian following, given that Jesus would be appalled at the greed and capitalist attitudes, being much more of a socialist nature Himself, or so the Bible would have us believe. I find that particularly hard to reconcile.

Having said all of that [well, you did start it :)] I think that this is a well-thought out piece and only time will tell how trump will be viewed, although this in itself is a very dubious viewpoint, given the glossing over of key facts for so many in future times.

The only thing here that would make this stronger I think is if certain emotive words were weakened - brain-dead, unhinged and so on. It's just further name-calling. If people really want that sort of thing to cease then someone has to take the higher ground and stop it first... I come from a war-torn country myself, rife with religious and political animosity so I've lived through this sort of thing my entire life, although a more extreme version.

May we remind them that America was long founded on the conservative ideals of freedom, liberty, individualism, free market economy, respect for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, love of country and love of God.- there's the dichtomony again in this again with religion versus free-market, they are really compatible. It's also not founded on the love of God but on the pursuit of religious freedom. there was a conscious effort to separate religion & politics. that was a fundamental guiding principle.

The gun-free state argument of Venezuela is a well-chosen example to suit your perspective, but what about all the other countries which are gun-free or more heavily restricted and have much less crime? This is exactly what one side accuse the other of doing all the time. It's selective interpretation of facts.

Raises interesting talking points.

    Thanks again, for the very intelligent review of my personal rants. I respect your views that may not be aligned with mine. Perhaps, my experience with the Leftist groups in my own country opened my mind to the hateful protests and how it ruined the entrepreneural career of the youth. When I was a young college student, I have been into that tunnel once, when I was invited to attend their teach-ins. I did not like what I saw, throwing chairs into a lobby to raise issues about tuition fees is too violent for me. My Christian faith saved me and I will never go back to that tunnel again. When I joined FanStory 4 or 5 years ago I am not a green card holder yet, that explains Asia as my origin. I was working as a university professor in my country and then shifted to become a migrant college lecturer overseas. I just retired early when I got here by 3rd week of December 2017. I am basically a new US resident. I don't have a voice and I cannot vote in your election, but I love America and the freedom it stands for. Thank you for passing by and the generous stars . My apology too, if there are typo and grammatical slips, English is only my second language. God bless. Susan

Oh my. I can only imagine some of the responses you have gotten on this. We have a lot of Trump Haters on here, they will not be happy with this dose of reality. =}

I totally love it. I have gotten yelled a few times on here for reviews I did of Trump haters. Never give them any facts, that really ticks them off. =} You just said every thing I would love to say. It is so true. I have never seen a party so fixed on destroying a presidency. It is really unprecedented. And the calling of bullying employees of the Pres. is just unbelievable to me. Someone is going to get hurt or killed. People are so crazy now days, they kill over stupid arguments.

If our country were in big trouble with unemployment, high taxes, soaring prices, I'd say they have a point, but none of that is happening. They have to look for things to be upset about.

But I have to say the Pres doesn't let it bother him, he gives as good as he gets and he just cracks me up. People get so upset that I think he is funny, but he really is. I think he even likes that they hate him, it gives him energy. And I doubt he has lost any supporters in fact he has gained. The lefts agenda is backfiring in so many ways, but they can't see it. I pray their are a ton voted out this year. I think that might wake them up. Well said dear. I salute your bravery. =}

This is very powerful, and I don't know why you address your letter to the President when it's the people who are causing the upheaval that you describe. President Trump is not blameless, as he inflames the situation with his Tweets and name-calling. My mother used to say you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Perhaps Trump should try to disarm his critics by putting a halt to his obnoxious rhetoric. That being said, I agree that people don't deserve to have threats made against them or not be able to have dinner in peace because of protestors who don't agree with Trump's policies. I am appalled that the Bronx district in New York City elected a socialist Democrat and that she is being lionized by the Democrats. Your writing is very clear and you certainly provide examples to back up your statements. I notice that you have a tendency to overuse commas, so you might go back and take a look to see if all those commas are necessary. Best regards, judi

    You're very welcome. You did a great job of expressing your thoughts. It seem like a large number of liberals even want to change the First Amendment so that only their rights to free speech are upheld. judi

This is easily worth Six Stars! Very courageous of you to openly support President Trump. There is nothing you've said in this letter that I don't agree with. I find it both amusing and appalling, on a daily basis, to hear the latest insanity the Left comes up with--there seems to be nothing they can't become hysterical over. You, as a legal immigrant, have great credibility taking on this subject, and your appreciation for this country shines through. Good writing--you express yourself well! Thanks for saying what too many of us haven't.

Hi there,

Thank you for sharing your well-written letter to the president. Your organization and comments were thoughtful and well presented. I do believe that if everyone could voice their opinions in a dignified manner, such as this, maybe there wouldn't be such polarization in the country,

I agree a person does need to analyze information carefully. I am a Conservative and Canada is not a socialist country as you state, but rather a representative democracy.

I draw your attention to "unlike the mass-murder reputations of Putin, Kim Jong-un and Rodrigo Duterte, the most revered heroes of President Trump as he repudiates every single thing that is American including the majority population's representation.

Politics is a blood-sport and always has been. So this is nothing new, it just seems like it because of the POTUS's propensity to Tweet whatever thought goes through his mind and his tweets are considered presidential records to the Fifth Estate.

The only person I know of accusing others of being real live outer-space aliens, is Alex Jones and InfoWars. He is entertaining if you don't mind an overly-aggressive, potty-mouth, mega-millionaire, conspiracy theorist who couldn't be bothered with the facts.

I can't imagine anyone really wants violence and I've never heard anyone calling for a gun-free citizenry except for those who conflate stricter regulation/registration with total removal of guns. It's a false statement but works well in heated political argument.

We are in the throes of a great economic disparity caused by the rise of "high-tech" companies taking massive amounts of wealth out of the economy with little put back in. That new trend has resulted in the tailspin of the west through lost jobs, highly-technical requirements and automation.

I think it's time for less drama and more truth all around.

Anyway excellent op-ed and I will look forward to part two. :)

Gloria

Hmmm. I must be watching the wrong news. I am a liberal. I usually vote democrat. But I've never seen Trump or his supporters demonized as unhuman.
I've seen some of his policies called inhumane, but that's different than unhuman.
All presidents are criticized by the other side. Why should Trump be any different? Trump's tactics are no less ruthless. He demeans people and nationalities out of hand. And he lies habitually. Check the facts. He celebrates himself like the second coming, but he hasn't accomplished much.

I don't mean to argue. But I disagree. And that's our right.

History will judge Donald Trump. I can't. Neither can you.

Peace, Lee

    I respect your right Lee, but yes, you have been watching the wrong news. Don't tell me,you haven't watch how CNN anchors and guests labelled Trump and his supporters as Nazis, as non-humans, the Social Justice Warriors , Antifa and other radical groups label Conservatives in different terms as bigots, racists and all the phobics one may still invent are thrown at the feet of the Conservatives and Republicans. Please try watching the #Walk Away Movement founded by Brandon Straka , a gay Democrat who walked away from all the vitriol of the Left. There are so many YouTube Videos about Walk Away stories started by Brandon. Try too, the Vlog series of Candance Owens and Prager University. maybe try also the YouTube videos of David Horowitz, a former Marxist , raised by Marxist-Socialist parents but who is now a loud voice of Conservatism. Allan Dershowitz, a loyal Liberal who supported Trump on some policies was now shunned by the Liberal and Leftist folks at Martha's Vineyard. Recently a young teen, wearing a MAGA hat was attacked in a restaurant, try watching Fox News and you'll see another world outside the bubble of the Left. Sorry, for being blunt., but the economy of the country is up, the nuclear threats is being undertaken right now, the big tax cuts were approved and implemented, the unemployment rate for the Black and Hispanic community is an all-time low, selected big companies have returned and brought back jobs to the forgotten Americans. The President is keeping all his promises despite the obstructions that the Democrats do. I recommend too, Dinesh D'Zousa 's YouTube Videos and his wife's Debbie who is a Venezuelan and her first hand experience in the Socialist Venezuela. Thanks for reading my personal rants and my apology if I have offended you. God bless.

Wow, I'm wondering who Jesus really died for here, I would have thought Marxist-Lenonist-socialist-democrat, for an American would be the worst name calling. And having been to Cambodia and worked there, Pol Pot would have been been an extreme right winger, but does it matter what a murderer's politics are? Extremes aren't good, right or left. America doesn't have extremists, why are you comparing? Jesus died for all, not just right wingers. Blessings, Roy. PS I Have been to America several times. Polies are polies wherever you go.

    Pol Pot is not a right winger , you can read the history, he is a Marxist-Leninist and his reign was labeled a Communist regime. My dear brother in Christ , we have extremists here, and their voices are quite loud, only cloaked in soft terms like concern for the poor, for equality of all genders and democratic principles that are actually totalitarian in essence, like the control of all properties for equal distribution, which is a Venezuelan model. My brother, I have been in that tunnel in my native country once and I did not like what I saw. It was my Christian faith that saved me from the Leftist indoctrination. Calling a group as Marxists and Socialists is not name calling, it is their real name and we have to call them for what they are. Marxism and atheism are kissing cousins and as Christians we must not allow a god-less ideology to be woven into the fabric of America. Saul Alinsky, the guru of the American Left, even dedicated a page in his book for Lucifer. Please watch the videos of David Horowitz, a former Marxist, raised by Socialist-Communist parents and is now a strong voice for Conservatism, watch too, #Walk Away Movement started by Brandon Straka, a former Democrat, who walked away from the hatred of the Left, the Vlog Videos of Candance Owens and Prager University Videos at YouTub. Perhaps you will have a more balanced or a different world view outside the Liberal bubble. Again, sorry if I have offended you in my personal rant, but the ultimate test of Christianity is when we are faced by other Christians too, who happen to disagree with your views. God bless my brother in Christ. Susan

    I was just surprised to hear the passion behind it. I always try to look at things through the eyes of our Lord, not through the eyes of political views. Because I've travelled, I've traveled through Russia, East Germany, when the East Germans joined with the west, the Stasi (East German secret police) they simply became moderates, they changed their complexion completely, but it's the ordinary folk I'm concerned with they tend to be like us! Even moderates can be as evil as their extremist counterparts. "We fight against principalities and powers" Ephesians 6:12, not human foes. Bless you, there's a political over zealousness in the US, that disturbs me. Roy
