OPINION:
At a moment in history when our great nation and our strongest allies are being tested, it is clear that the United States - and the World - need President Donald J. Trump back in the White House now more than ever.
I’ve spent my entire adult life serving our country and directing our men and women in uniform. I know what it takes to lead, and that’s exactly what President Trump did as our Commander-in-Chief, fostering security and stability. But sadly, Joe Biden doesn’t have “it,” and in fact, his very presence on the international stage invites mockery.
During the Biden presidency, we’ve seen that weakness and inexperience breeds chaos. The feeble Biden presidency continues to be an unmitigated disaster. Joe Biden’s incompetent withdrawal from Afghanistan emboldened our enemies and cost American lives. During that debacle, 13 U.S. service members were killed, and our brave Afghan allies were left behind to be slaughtered by the Taliban. Now, Mr. Biden and his Democrat Party’s placating of Iran is playing a direct role in the unspeakable horrors inflicted on the Israeli people by the Iran-backed Hamas terrorists.
President Trump understands America’s exceptional role in the world, and he has consistently delivered for our military, our veterans, and our country. He understands that forever wars are not in the American people’s best interest and that our military power should only be put to use when there are clearly defined objectives and when America’s vital security interests are at risk. Our service members and veterans want and deserve nothing less, and when our soldiers bravely conclude their time of service, they need to know our leaders have an unwavering commitment to have their backs.
Under President Trump, our nation’s veterans had a leader fighting to ensure that their sacrifices for our Country were honored and not forgotten. While the globalist Washington politicians were willing to sacrifice precious American lives for their misguided military adventures overseas, those who proudly wore our nation’s uniform were dying, waiting for medical care at home.
President Trump passed the largest reform of the Department of Veterans Affairs in a generation, including VA Accountability and VA Choice. He fired 11,500 federal workers who failed to give our warriors the quality and timely care they so richly deserve. He listened to our veterans and their families, securing record funding for mental health services, slashing wait times by 33%, and ensuring that our nation’s greatest heroes could continue to see the doctor of their choice.
President Trump’s record of delivering for our service members and veterans and his steadfast commitment to providing security for the American people is undeniable.
To reverse Joe Biden’s dangerous foreign policies and prevent the world from slipping closer and closer to the brink of destruction, we must return President Trump to the White House. President Trump has my complete and total endorsement for 2024, and I look forward to being with him every step of the way.
