At this time today, I will be getting handed the power to bring us all together and only have “you” the people to thank. If not for you and the friends who have helped me on the way I would not be standing here uniting our country. This country has been deranged for a long….. Long time now. I am here to make it great again ! I will get us out of these slumps , debts , and much much more. I am most concerned with how soft we have gotten as Americans and the state at which we might be soon at war with North Korea.
