A mother’s take on Trump

Read this once, pause for a minute or two to think honestly about it, then read it again. The views this mother has about Donald Trump are much like many other people. Her characterization of Trump as the "Salty Sailor" or as “The Firefighter” paints an excellent picture!! She has written books about her son and family. This is a Comment from KAREN VAUGHN, the mother of Aaron Vaughn, a Navy Seal.
>> Then read her book, World Changer: A Mother's Story.

>> Sometimes God uses the no-nonsense, salty sailor to get the job done. Appreciating what the man is doing doesn't mean we worship the salty sailor or even desire to be like the salty sailor. It doesn't even mean God admires the salty sailor. Maybe He just knows he's necessary for such a time as this.
>> I believe with all my heart that God placed that salty sailor in the White House to give this nation one more chance in November 2016. Donald Trump is what he is – and he is still the man he was before the e******n – and without guilt. I very much admire what that salty sailor is accomplishing. He's not like me. That's okay with me. I don't want to be like him. I will never behave like him. I know we've NEVER had a man like him lead our nation before. It's crazy and a little mind-blowing at times. But I can't help admire the stamina and ability he has – acting with his heart rather than a calculated, PC, think tank-screened, carefully edited script. I still believe that is WHY he became our President and WHY he's been able to handle a landslide of adversity and STILL pass unprecedented amounts of good legislation for our country AND do great works for MANY other nations, including Israel.
>> I'm THRILLED with what he's doing for my nation, for the cause of Christ (whether intentional or unintentional, doesn't matter to me), and for the concept of rebuilding America and putting her FIRST. I will not be ashamed of my position because others don't see him through the same lens.
>> Should it matter to me if a firefighter drops an f-bomb while he's pulling me from a burning building? Would I really care about what came out of his mouth in those moments? Heck no! I'd CARE about what he was DOING. He wasn't sent there to save my soul, and I'm not looking to him for spiritual guidance. All I'm thinking in those moments is, "Thank you, GOD, for sending the fireman.” AND DONALD TRUMP IS OUR FIREMAN.
>>
>> I'll soon post this article again for those who still might not understand me. This man is crass. Okay. He's not careful with what he says. Okay. You feel offended that he's not a typical statesman. Okay. But he is DOING THE JOB of rebuilding the nation my son died for... the nation I feared was on a fast track to becoming a hopeless cause.

All I got to say is one sentence that was in that letter,is he is the same as he was before he was elected,yes he's still a con man,he will do anything hook or crook,to help him self,he uses people to get what he wants and then dumps them.yes he's still the same old trump.

I smiled with you. I love Trump for his love of my country. He’s not perfect, nor am I. But he’s doing something to save us. It takes a man, not a “statesman” to get things done the proper way.

Your type of comment is why I do not listen to commentators after any speech or address. They decide to pull a single statement out of context and put their spin on the totality of the entire speech or address. Imperfect as any man may be, God can use him for His will.

Many vilivied our president before he was even elected. I didn't want to v**e for him; however, I could not and can not in good conscience v**e for the platform that the other party advocates.

The inaction of Congress over the past four years and the failure of Congressional members to show up on the job and do their jobs is shameful. I'm assuming by their actions, by their sitting out, by their not showing up for work, that since they are not on the "front lines" doing their jobs," that we can consider them nonessential "workers" and get busy finding other "workers" who will actually "get in the trenches" and do the job for which "we the people" are still paying them to do.

To those congressional members who

* sit out while lives and property are destroyed
* do not call out the lawlessness of criminal acting so-called "peaceful protesters"
* call for the defunding of "law and order" "essential workers"
* tell constituents to disrespect and vilify those who do not embrace their viewpoint

I say this, "you are not doing your job, you have failed to do good, and if you failed to speak against such actions, then you as leaders, are guilty of the actions of the lawless and misguided by association--just as the driver of a getaway car is guilty by association when his partner in crime k**ls someone in a bank."
