All private business owners or managers realize, for their business to survive, FIXING all issues that threaten its continuation is the No. 1 priority. Clearly, the ultimate FIX-IT Man is Donald J. Trump.
That said, as a private business owner in three different industries over some fifty years; I think you can also consider me a “fix-it man.”
Why call Donald Trump the Fix-it Man?
While watching a TV interview of President Trump’s son, he made a most revealing statement about his father. He recalled as a young boy walking with his dad in downtown New York, where “the Donald” would often point out to him various things needing to be FIXED, like cracks in the city’s sidewalk, etc.
You may be thinking, SO WHAT!
Well, when paying close attention to what President Trump DOES, and not just his tweets, his policies always pertain to FIXING something that’s broken. More importantly, fixing them permanently!
For a “Fix-it person,” solving problems is part of your DNA; it’s what you were born to do. You simply want to make broken things right! More importantly, you have a vision for improving the status quo and building a safe and peaceful culture for ALL people to enjoy. That’s what a “Fix-it person” does!
Fixing our Border Should Not Be Political
Ensuring the border of the United States is secure, while ensuring immigration is fair and balanced, should have been FIXED years ago. BUT, many politicians didn’t want the border fixed, because they use border chaos as a weapon to demonize political opponents. These same politicians call President Trump a racist for simply wanting to have orderly immigration.
Keyword here is ORDERLY!
To be sure, Donald Trump knows and believes we should allow measured immigration into our county.
However, like any private business wanting to AVOID CHAOS, screening and checking ALL applicants using an Employment Application System is essential.
In other words, to provide and maintain a peaceful culture, allowing the entry of unqualified applicants or criminals is foolish. For this reason, most all private companies often follow up on applicants’ references to ensure application information is accurate.
Fixing Trade Among Nations Should Not Be Political
Trade should to be FAIR and reciprocal among nations. In other words, fair and balanced trade, whereby everyone competes fairly without penalizing each other.
In brief, “Free Trade” is NOT where trading partners charge tariffs on our goods exported to them, and we on the other hand, are NOT to charge tariffs on their exports.
What’s FREE or FAIR about that?
Fact is, over the past many decades, robbing the United States by other nations has been “business as usual.” Sadly, our government politicians had NO interest in FIXING it, until President Donald J. Trump arrived and exposed so-called “Free Trade” as “horse manure.”
Regrettably, most politicians don’t know how REAL businesses operate; therefore, making poor business decisions on our behalf is what they do. Imagine a NON-LAWYER going to court on your behalf.
Unfortunately, politicians with little to NO business background have hurt many Americans by making POOR business decisions for our county. Moreover, decisions that have cost the U.S. taxpayers trillions of dollars.
As a matter of fact, President Obama NEVER had a JOB as a teenager, or as an adult in private business, other than a short stint at a lawyer. In short, NO experience in running a business!
Think about that!
Barack Obama, as president, supervised the largest business economy in the world with NO business experience! How did that work for us?
Sadly, Americans elected him to do that job. Truth is, Barack Obama was NOT qualified to run ANY small business, much less the United States economy.
However, Donald J. Trump, a genuine “FIX-IT man” is showing how a real business professional can improve the lives of most Americans! Particularly, those who want to be FREE and not live off Government handouts; who don’t consider Uncle Sam as “daddy”!
The A-political Fix-it Man
In brief, “A-Political” means, those who don’t follow or have little interest in politics.
Politicians on the other hand, are extremely political. Generally, their decisions are based on how government policies affect them personally, in the effort to maintain their leadership position.
Unfortunately, most politicians are not in business to FIX problems, unless it enhances their pocketbook.
Before Donald J. Trump decided to run for president, most everyone, including myself, would have said he was A-POLITICAL. Because, Donald Trump the businessman donated to both Democratic and Republican campaigns. As a businessman, he realized taking an “apolitical” position was good for business in liberal New York.
Consider this fact, Donald Trump attended Chelsea Clinton’s wedding. Interesting, but not surprising considering he is apolitical.
Most shocking to many was, he was just a conservative businessman wanting to FIX things. For this reason, he joined forces with the FEW real conservatives in Washington that actually want problems in America FIXED!
Truth is, these conservatives just happen to be Republicans!
Government versus Private Business
To be sure, over the years Donald Trump the businessman witnessed the United States moving in the wrong direction, due to jobs outsourced to other nations. Moreover, growing government bureaucracy made it increasingly hard to conduct business in the United States. In fact, when Trump took office we had the highest corporate taxes in the world. Bad for business and more importantly, JOBS!
Sadly, politicians run and control government agencies, who by design only want to maintain the status-quo. Truth is, if government really SOLVED a problem, the people working in these agencies realize they would soon be out of a job.
Not surprisingly, they claim the problem they are supposed to FIX, is getting worse. Whereby, these government bureaucrats insist on increasing their budget year after year. Which means, more taxes on the American taxpayer—also more in the politicians’ pockets.
You may have noticed government politicians crying, it’s NOT their fault when the SAME problems persist for decades.
Due to problems NOT getting fixed, government grows bigger and bigger. Consequently, out-of-control government becomes involved in EVERY area of private citizens’ lives. All to control the masses with higher and higher taxes and regulations.
Note: Democrats run and control all failing cities in America. In fact, for decades. Astonishingly, the people living in those run-down cities keep voting them back in; then complaining that things are still so bad.
What is the Government’s Role?
Government does not create products, and only a few government agencies provide real service.
Consider, the U.S. Post Office. Anyone with eyes, while standing in long lines at the U.S. Post Office, can see that a private company would perform a much better job at delivering packages and mail.
Most notably, postal employees NEVER speed up to serve customers when long lines start forming. With that in mind, note the vast difference in the SERVICE at a private company like Starbucks or a FedEx store.
Government “Servants” Getting Rich
It’s amazing that so-called government “servants” are getting rich these days. Consider the fact that when presidents, congressman, and senators leave office, within a short time, they suddenly become extraordinarily RICH.
Barack Obama recently purchased an $11,000,000 home in Martha’s Vineyard. As president, his salary was (the usual) $400,000, along with a $50,000 expense allowance; plus $100,000 nontaxable travel account, and $19,000 entertainment account.
So how do they make this much money “serving” in government? All too often, they make it by SELLING ACCESS to government officials who oversee and control lucrative government contracts. In addition, selling access to top elected officials who vote for bills that ensure their “big-business pals” gain more control of their market. It’s a racket!
In other words, these influential ex-government “servants,” AKA consultants, lobbyist and other notable titles, use their learned experience, “serving” in government, to get RICH, at the expense of the American people!
Moreover, big companies funnel money to ex-government “servants” who still have influence, by paying them larges sums of money in speaking fees and book deals.
In truth, these payoffs are for favorable access to OUR government.
You may remember, Hillary Clinton claiming to be broke when she and Bill left the Whitehouse. Within a short time of leaving the Whitehouse, they also moved into a multi-million-dollar home. This is what the Clinton’s refer to as “broke.”
Seeking easy money, many people seek government positions. Great pay! And seldom is anyone in government fired for misconduct or poor performance! In fact, even the “most incompetent” move up the ladder into better positions with higher pay.
Pay Attention or Pay Government More and More.
To be fair, not all government bureaucrats are dishonest. However, the majority MUST BE, for our government to be growing at its current rate.
The bottom line is, we need FIX-IT men and women who KNOW how to run a business that performs in the black. Sadly, we have mostly LAWYERS running Washington.
Most Lawyers are NOT fix-it people. In fact, they thrive on making what should be simple, extremely complicated.
WHY?
Because, we pay lawyers exceedingly well for untangling their own LAWYER SPEAK. For this reason, it keeps them motivated to write complicated legal documents we use for life, business and government.
In short, lawyers have NO interest in making government SIMPLE! It simply doesn’t pay.
Since Lawyers are the majority in Congress, any bill/Legislation introduced to simplify life for the average citizen, receives overwhelming opposition.
Regrettably, only a FIX-IT man or woman is willing to fight to scale-back the size of government and give control back to the people. That man or woman will obviously become a target of scorn.
In fact, if FIX-IT folks ran government, we could reduce the size of government by over half.
One day this will happen, when the TRUE FIX-IT PERSON appears—the King of kings
Have a burden for truth and help FIX our government by voting honestly.
