Editor,

I would like to publicly thank President Trump for the wonderful speech he gave to the nation last night. It was inspirational, bold, provocative and patriotic. It outlined so many good things his administration has done and is doing to repair the damage from the previous administration. President Trump also gave details about how his administration has uncovered the malfeasance of decades of fraud, waste and abuse at the hands of people who have used our nation as a source of graft, power and weird, twisted societal experimentation.

I am so very thankful the alternative presidential candidate was not standing behind that podium last night. I feel like we have been saved from disaster.

To the Democrats there in Congress who could not bring themselves to celebrate along with the rest of the nation when the most wonderful of non-partisan people, causes and issues were introduced, I only have this to say: shame on you!
