Political Endorsement, by Tom Monson
As the editor of GreatLifeGazette.com, parent, grandparent, and proud American, I endorse Donald Trump for the Office of President of the United States.
This political endorsement is made without financial consideration or as a paid endorsement.
I make this political endorsement because of his comprehensive approach to both global and domestic policies. These policies resonate with the conservative principles of tradition, stability, prudence, and long-term growth.
Trump’s strategy of direct engagement with adversaries, exemplified by his unprecedented meetings with North Korea, and his renegotiation of trade agreements, such as the “phase one” deal with China, underscore a pragmatic diplomacy prioritizing American interests and global stability.
His initiatives, including the Abraham Accords and the strengthening of NATO alliances, reflect a commitment to fostering strategic partnerships and enhancing security.
Domestically, Trump’s achievements through the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, widespread deregulation, and support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities highlight his focus on economic growth and educational advancement.
His judicial appointments have reinforced a conservative judicial outlook, promising enduring influence on American jurisprudence.
Furthermore, his initiatives like Opportunity Zones and the First Step Act demonstrate a commitment to community development and meaningful criminal justice reform.
His leadership increased the number of new jobs for people across all spectrums of the workforce by more than 400,000.
Trump plans to enhance American lives through economic growth, job creation, energy independence, strong borders, and expanded educational opportunities.
Together, these policies reflect Trump’s dedication to reshaping the American landscape, aligning with our values of fostering prosperity, reform, and progress.

American First Policies
Below are the individual areas in which Trump will excel for the American people:
Global Policies
Donald Trump’s approach to world politics emphasizes direct engagement with adversaries, renegotiation of trade agreements, and a push for fair burden-sharing among allies. One notable example is his unprecedented meetings with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. These summits established communication channels and resulted in a temporary halt to North Korea’s nuclear tests, reducing tensions in the region.
Trade
In trade, Trump renegotiated deals, most notably achieving a “phase one” trade agreement with China in 2020. This deal aimed to address trade imbalances and intellectual property concerns, strengthening the U.S. economy by boosting domestic industries.
National Defense
Trump also pressured NATO allies to increase defense spending, which led to a stronger collective defense posture and underscored NATO’s importance in global security. He brokered the Abraham Accords in the Middle East, normalizing relations between Israel and several Arab nations, and promoting new alliances and strategic partnerships against common regional threats.
International Relations
Trump’s pragmatic strategy reshaped international relations, focusing on American interests and global stability. His willingness to engage directly with adversaries and push for change in international agreements highlights a bold approach to diplomacy.
Domestic Policies
Donald Trump’s presidency was marked by several key domestic achievements that sought to reshape the American economy, reform regulations, influence the judiciary, and support educational and community development.
Economic Growth and Tax Reform
One of Trump’s most significant domestic achievements was the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. This legislation lowered the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% and provided tax cuts for individuals, aiming to stimulate economic growth. Proponents argue that these tax cuts helped boost the economy by increasing business investments and leading to job creation, with unemployment rates reaching record lows before the COVID-19 pandemic. His efforts produced more than 400,000 jobs across all worker demographics.
Deregulation
Trump prioritized reducing regulations, arguing that this would spur economic growth and innovation. His administration implemented policies to roll back numerous regulations across various sectors, including energy and finance. These efforts were intended to reduce burdens on businesses, encourage development, and foster a more competitive economic environment.
Judicial Appointments
Trump significantly influenced the federal judiciary by appointing three Supreme Court Justices—Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett—shifting the Court’s balance to a more conservative stance. Additionally, he appointed numerous federal judges, leaving a lasting impact on the judiciary that will influence American law for decades.
Support for Black Colleges and Universities
Trump provided lasting funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities, ensuring financial support and stability for these vital institutions. This funding was to enhance educational opportunities and promote growth in these communities.
Opportunity Zones
The creation of Opportunity Zones under Trump’s administration aimed to spur economic development and job creation in distressed communities. These zones offered tax incentives to encourage long-term investments in economically disadvantaged areas, promoting revitalization and growth.
Criminal Justice Reform
In a bipartisan effort, Trump signed the First Step Act into law in 2018. This legislation aimed to reform the criminal justice system by reducing sentences for certain offenses and improving prison conditions, thus promoting rehabilitation and reducing recidivism.
Domestic accomplishments highlight Trump’s focus on economic growth, regulatory reform, judicial influence, educational support, community development, and criminal justice. His policies and appointments have left a lasting impact on the American landscape.
Going Forward
Trump’s platform’s objective is to improve life for everyday Americans. It focuses on economic growth, job creation, and security. By pushing for more tax cuts and less regulation, it seeks to boost business growth. This should lead to more jobs and higher wages. Energy independence is another goal, aiming to lower energy costs for consumers. In trade, Trump wants deals that favor American workers and industries. This would strengthen domestic manufacturing. On national security, the platform stresses strong borders and better security measures. These steps aim to ensure safety and prosperity. Education is also a focus, with plans to expand school choice and vocational training. This would give people more opportunities to succeed. Overall, Trump’s platform seeks to build a strong economy and secure nation. The goal is to raise the standard of living for all Americans.
