Trump has the ideal business acumen

Norman Vincent Peale in “The Power of Positive Thinking” was a guide for Donald Trump while growing up in New York attending the preacher’s church. It is one of my favorite books.

“The Wealth of Nations” by Adam Smith is another book any capitalistic nation will advocate.

Mr. Trump has shown his business sense and will make our nation great again with free enterprise and putting checks in place only on undue strife. We know from experience, attracted by our own interest, we will do what serves the common good.

The United States of America will gain and prosper with Mr. Trump's reason and knowledge. Semper Fi.
