Why I Still Support President Trump

    When I was evaluating the Republicans in 2016 to decide who to support, I listed my 3 biggest policy areas that were on the platform I wanted.  They were, in order of my priorities:

(1)  A strong military with intelligent, pro-American leadership

(2)  Support of a system of Capitalist Medicine

(3)  Lower taxes and deregulation that would help the economy thrive

President Trump has been very good in (1) & (3), however, I knew even in 2016 that he was not a big proponent of Capitalist Medicine.

Well, yesterday, my worst fears came true.  The President held a news conference that basically said that he is surrendering medicine (not necessarily the practice of the healing arts), but pharmaceuticals, such as medical pills, to a socialist system.

Never in my dreams could I have imagined that America's President Trump would assume point and lead the charge to have the government completely takeover this area of the economy.  It is an area that I know so much about and was hedging my investments with the premise that I could talk Trump out of this communist-style, shutdown of business, which I had seen him hint at before.

So, I've had some sharp words to say about America's Still President-Elect, but what you may not understand is that I continue to support him to be recognized for 4 more years.  Here's why:

The simplest way to describe it is mathematically.  An ideally strong platform holds: (1), (2) & (3).  However, presently, Trump has (1) & (3), against (2).  To illustrate it in political terms; what good does a thriving American medical system do if there is a nuclear war?  And, in support of "the U.S. military outweighs all argument" is a very good economy on top of that.
