I am not in a cult. I do not worship Trump. I like the policies and the things he got done while in office. Here is a list of what Trump did while in office, all of which can be verified. This is why I will vote for him again. It is not emotionally based, and there are no feelings involved.

Read this list and tell me you do not want this for our country. How can any American not want this?

To the left, stop screaming orange man bad and read.
Then, show me a list of anything like this that Harris has accomplished.

Will you vote on policy in 2024 or emotion?
