Hooray for Donald Trump!

I can ice skate in Central Park because Trump got the skating rink fixed subsequently New York Metropolis couldn't.

Couldn't, yous ask? Actually? How is that possible? New York City government couldn't fix an ice rink?

Sad, but true. Despite six years of attempt and fiddling with xiii one thousand thousand taxpayer dollars, government'southward bureaucracy was unable to set up an ice rink. At 1 point, they left ane side of the rink 6 inches lower than the rest. That's authorities work for you.

Then, Donald Trump got it done. And done right. He likes to remind us he makes deals happen. Getting things done in New York oftentimes means yous butter upward whoever needs disarming, or yous neat them. Trump's good at that.

Is that what we want in a president? Maybe. Probably not.

What bothers me most Donald Trump is that most of his pronouncements are little more than magical thinking. Elect me and "I will be the greatest jobs president that God always created!" "We're going to accept win afterwards win later win! You people are going to get sick and tired of winning!"

This is but nonsense. No president, no matter how competent, can make everything good. It'southward time people cease thinking that political leaders are the answer to our issues.

A Trump rally resembles Barack Obama'southward "Yes, we can!" speeches from eight years ago. Delirious fans acted as if Obama's election would fix everything virtually America that they didn't like.

Information technology's why I wrote the book "No, They Can't! Why Authorities Fails -- OnlyIndividuals  Succeed." Government tin't fix nigh things, but free individuals can -- and exercise! Trump stock-still the skating rink when government couldn't.

Complimentary people, acting without government coercion, achieved almost all the things that take made America great. That'due south why Trump really ticks me off when he says, "We're gonna brand America great once again!"

His fans love that. Merely what does it mean? When exactly was America great? When nosotros won Earth War II? Yes, that was smashing.

But information technology wasn't great that at the time many Japanese-Americans were locked up in internment camps; blacks weren't e'er immune to vote or drink from public fountains; gay people were browbeaten by police simply for being gay; and women were basically owned by their husbands and non immune to accept credit cards without their husband's or father's permission.

Was America nifty so?

Information technology'due south true that past the end of Earth War II, America had the strongest military and biggest economic system in the world. That was peachy. Just we still  have the strongest military and economy. "Make America great over again" sounds like everything went bad.

Trump is not the only candidate saying that. Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders shout, "The rich get richer, the poor and middle course are getting poorer!"

This is just a prevarication. The rich got richer, merely poor people didn't become poorer. They got richer too, only not equally much. Everyone won!

Politicians and the media spread so much false, bad news that for the first fourth dimension in history, almost Americans say that they believe their children will be worse off than they were.

But that's bunk.

Warren Buffet got this one right when he wrote, "The babies being built-in in America today are the luckiest crop in history. [They] will alive far better than their parents did."

If they do, it will be considering of free markets and global trade -- two things near Democrats and Donald Trump want to smother.

"Make America neat again!" is a bad slogan. Let'south start a new one: "Leave of our style!" Don't impose your destructive tariffs, immigration limits, tougher libel laws, countless mandates and property grabs. Just enforce the Constitution. Then, get out of our way.

A amend life comes from individuals striving toward their own goals, not from politicians.

If our futurity continues to ameliorate, it will bein spite of politicians like Trump and magical promises.
