Konald, i have made plenty of poor choices in my life. Trump played on people's emotions and to be fair he talks a good game. So dont feel like you made a mistake, to a large degree you did not. Trump lied , and likely some of his lies hit home to you and got your vote.

as to refugees you need to put on your critical thinking cap.

we hand pick our refugees, no other nations gets to do this like we do. We literally look at the camps, pick the people with easy to vet profiles. Ie documents, verifiable histories etc. then we review review review. In the end wepick families with strong records we can research. Our people conduct various interviews and confirm they are who they say they are. It can take years to get from being picked (they can't request the USA they get told what country they get) to arriving here. Years.

We have not a single case of a REFUGEE committing a terrorist act on US soil. Shocking hey?


I think this is important to talk about because millions of americans mistakenly think refugees get to pick where they go. They don't. and i think the myth that we cannot verify who they are needs to be knocked on the head, we can because go through the files and only review cases we LIKE.

not all nations get to handle it this way.
Germany /EU has to take whatever arrives on their shores, we simply don't have that issue at all. They have never, (not in many decades) been allowed to get on the planes nevermind get through our immigration control at the airports. so when you see stories of bad actor refugees in the EU or middle east, we are not comparing apples to apples. All of our refugees are cherry picked by professional vetting staff that want to find good people .


i applaud you for being honest, even if i disagree with "america first".

Let's face it, at the end of the day, it is all about economy and consumer confidence.

If we have a strong economy, we have a successful president. Let's see if he really is the Job president he promised to be.

Interesting perspective on this from her new clientele.

I love the part where they said some believe she is running the country.

It was him or Hillary. I've been disappointed by his Presidency so far too, but he's still the better choice.

What you say doesn't make sense if you think it out. If Trump lost your vote, then in essence you are supporting the other party, which will definitely be pro-Syrian refugee, the one thing you are against.

I really do not see much difference between a 1st daughter having a meaty role in the White House versus the 1st lady.

I looked at it as the next 4 years were gonna suck regardless if it was Trump or Hillary but the USSC picks could be for 30 years or more. There Trump wins hands down.
