Joseph Trillo on Donald Trump

“People are tired of ‘politicking as usual’ – Trump has brought the issues and concerns that have been troubling the American people – problems that have been bubbling just below the surface for too long - to the forefront for discussion and debate. In this day and age of political correctness, he has cut through the rhetoric and brought attention to issues that people have been afraid to talk about.

This is a time like no other for our country. Our next president needs to reinforce our global place in the world as ‘the’ economic and military powerhouse. We won’t get there with ‘more of the same’ politicians who owe their political lives to big campaign donors.

Trump is an independently wealthy businessman with business acumen that has brought him all over the world. He takes no money from corporate and uber-wealthy individual campaign donors. He does not owe anyone political payback when he takes office. We can’t say the same for any of the other candidates, particularly Hillary Clinton.

Trump understands the important roles of perception and strength during risky negotiations. He also understands that his business decisions today have ramifications for his companies tomorrow. Do we have that kind of thinking under the current administration when it comes to negotiations for the safety and security of the American people? Did we have that with the former Secretary of State? Think about the Iran Deal that the Obama Administration entered into during an era where we face global terrorism. Just within the last couple of days, Saudi Arabia cut diplomatic ties with Iran. What does that say about the US agreement that Obama made?

I believe that Trump understands the big picture, that he has the acumen and testicular fortitude to make the physical safety and security of our country and, the economic well-being of our citizens his top priorities.

Trillo concluded his statement by saying "I look forward to hearing from folks who want to stand with me to ‘Make America Great Again'.”
