A return to common sense

We have experienced a return to common sense in America, and it couldn’t make me prouder. President Donald Trump has been the key to this return, and I will give credit where credit is due. But let me also say upfront that I am not here to tell you Donald Trump is a perfect man. He is not. There are things about his style, his manner and some of his decisions that I find myself uncomfortable with, do not like and sometimes, find very disgusting. He is far from a “holy” person despite what some of the memes depict him as. That is not what this editorial is about.

This editorial is about something simpler and, I believe, harder to argue with: we are better off as a nation today than we were two years ago.

I think most honest Americans, regardless of how they feel about the man personally, know that to be true.
