Trump was initially only my 4th choice for President. Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Ben Carson, all people of color btw, were above him. But I rallied around Trump when he became the nominee because I'm a Republican and in general elections I always stand with my party. I had always felt we needed an Israeli or Korean style wall on the entire Mexican border and as the son of LEGAL immigrants was sickened by illegal aliens invading our nation and using our tax money but I wasn't sure Trump would be able to deliver on his promise. The reason I had initially supported Cruz, Rubio, and Carson before him was because Trump had been a Democrat before and had said things favorable about Planned Parenthood and had complimented the Clintons in the past so I felt his conservative bona fides were not as established, particularly compared to Ted Cruz. While Cruz blinked when Obama shut down the government ot force Obamacare on us, he fought valiantly to stop Obamacare.
Right now I think Trump has surpassed my expectations of him. I do wish he was classier in his language, but I agree with nearly all of his beliefs which is important to me. I do think like Cruz in the past, Trump made a mistake by reopening the government. He should have gone scorched earth and kept the government shutdown till the Democrats backed off and funded the wall. There are two issues I have with the emergency declaration. First, it will go to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court is still controlled by liberals. Trump at least should have waited until our side appointed another justice to the Supreme Court before doing this to ensure our victory in the court. Roberts is loyal to the liberal side. He's proven himself a liberal time and time again such as with Obamacare and gay marriage.
Also I don't think military funds should be used for the wall. The funds should come from foreign aid to Mexico and other countries whose illegals are coming here and should be taken from the liberals pet causes like high speed rail, Planned Parenthood, etc. And should come from liberal states with sanctuary cities.
I totally agree with his SC nominees and trust him to appoint another conservative justice who will fight against abortion and protect our borders. If roe vs Wade can be repealed, abortion will immediately end in my state and I pray for that day to come soon. We have state laws here in Louisiana from the Bobby Jindal administration that ensure this. Abortion si a great sin by which our nation will have to answer for and we must fight this evil and wickedness and this direct affront to God.
I agree with him standing up to other countries and renegotiation unfair trade agreements though more should be done to subsidize American farmers who might be affected in the short term. I do think we will be getting more manufacturing jobs back which is important, despite the liberal elites looking down on blue collar workers and not caring about the decline of heavy manufacturing in America. I like how Trump supports the police over race baiters like Colin Kaepernick and the Black Lies movement.
I think Trump is treated unfairly and EVERYTHING he says is taken out of context. For example his comments about rapists and murderers were about illegals not all Mexicans and the both sides comments about Charlottesville was in reference to people on both sides of the Confederate monuments debate, not about neo-Nazis. Because there were MANY people who were there to support the Confederate monuments out of Southern pride who were NOT neo-Nazis or Klan.
If you voted for Trump, with Trump at the midpoint of what many hope will be his only term, if indeed he finishes that out, how are you feeling now, as opposed to two (or three) years ago?
I'd make the same vote again. He's done more good than harm, although I am disappointed in some ways. Too much turnover in the cabinet, no infrastructure spending, too slow to move on the wall. Washington DC needed a shakeup from business as usual, and Trump hasn't disappointed here. And he sent Crooked Hillary into retirement although unfortunately the biatch is still walking around as a free woman when she should be behind bars.

Like him more now than I did when I voted for him back in 16. I'll be voting for him again.

Me, too. I honestly have never, in my lifetime, seen a President who actually kept his promises like Trump.
