Thank God Trump saved our democracy

I want to thank America for electing Donald Trump. It was surely the best thing that could have happened for this country.

I'm thrilled that much of the nation recognized Hillary Clinton for what she is, a greedy and corrupt pathological liar. She has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Her only accomplishment during 30 years of serving her country was adding to her bank accounts.

Her placement in the White House would have ultimately destroyed this country.

Trump, for sure, is no angel, but his heart is in the right place. He will do his best to make this country great again. He has no hidden agenda.

I am thankful that Trump won, not necessarily for myself, but for the sake of my children and grandchildren.

If Clinton had gained the White House, our Supreme Court would have destroyed the U.S. Constitution. Trump has literally saved that sacred document, and by saving it will ensure that our children and grandchildren live under the doctrine that our forefathers intended.

God Bless America and our new president.
