Trump at the helm

Let’s review: Before President Obama’s historic run for the presidency, pundits said he lacked experience in foreign affairs, that he never held a real private-sector entrepreneurial job and that he was racist and anti-American. Almost eight years later, here we stand.

So Donald Trump lacks experience in government and foreign affairs. But he has been self employed his entire life. He’s anti-political correctness, as is half of America. So with Trump being nearly 30 years Obama’s senior, I think he knows a thing or two about life.

Being from New York is an asset regardless of its general ideology, because it’s the best place to hone your craft and cut your teeth.

We’ll be just fine with a billionaire businessman at the helm, folks. Let’s stop with the hyperbolic drama — most of us see right though it.

Mark Minervino,
