A common misconception is that Trump is somehow 'racist' or anti-immigration, wheras nothing could be further from the truth.
He stated emphatically numerous times over the course of his campaign that he was opposed to ILLEGAL immigration. Big fucking difference people
It defies logic to me how anyone in their right mind could possibly be opposed to protecting our own borders, while encouraging illegal immigrants to bleed the United States for governmental assistance in the form of welfare, free medical care, food stamps, education, and free housing (among countless other handouts funded by the American taxpayer)
Our southern border is a joke. Trump was endorsed almost unanimously by U.S. Border Patrol agents for his hardline stance on immigration. Also, it's important to note that it's not only Mexicans that cross illegally. It's refugees from several Central American countries as well. Not to mention the fact that according to ICE, our southern border is so vulnerable, that many middle eastern immigrants and potential (aspiring) terrorists are actively exploiting it.
BUILD THE WALL
# 2 Bringing Jobs back to the United States
It's a foregone conclusion that the American worker has been the big loser to expansion of exporting jobs to other countries. Trump said quite clearly that this needs to stop.
I fail to see the logic in voting against a man who aims to restore our manufacturing core, and tax companies that attempt to set up shop overseas and sell their goods in the United States.
When Trump talked about companies like Carrier, and Ford, and other major entities who were exploiting our lax import/export standards threatening a 35% tax on their products, it was a breath of fresh air to voters, and a message that resonated deeply with them.
When he discussed the TPP and NAFTA being total disasters, he was spot on. Those agreements have done more residual damage to our economy and stripped more jobs from the American worker than most people realize.
If you voted against Donald Trump, then you seem to have no qualms whatsoever about jobs being sent to third world countries rather than keeping them where they belong. Opposing the notion of growing and restoring manufacturing, preserving the coal industry, and building our infrastructure is quite simply anti-American plain and simple.
# 3 Taking Care of Our Veterans
It's an absolute travestry that our veterans are neglected and ignored by the Veterans Administration to the degree they have been in the past. The conditions at Walter Reed Army Medical Center are disgraceful, and many vets have to wait months, and even years to get treatment for life threatening diseases and conditions.
I'm baffled how anyone can fault Donald Trump for pushing to improve conditions in veteran medical facilities, and to expedite their earned benefits when appropriate/necessary.
So far, Trump has lived up to many of his campaign promises that haven't been stalled by congress, and one of them has been to deliver on his pledge to help veterans get the care they deserve.
Very recently he pushed through the 'Forever G.I. Bill' which extends benefits for more vets, and allows them to use them for a longer period of time. In addition, he implemented mandatory 'same day' services at all V.A. facilities nationwide. He also added a 'mobile' health care service system which previously didn't exist.
If you look over all the positive changes Trump has made happen for our veterans, it's impossible to refute the fact that he isn't keeping his campaign promises. The man has the interests of the American people first and foremost, and proves it with his swift and decisive moves to improve V.A. medical and mental health services.
# 4 America FIRST
Seriously how the fuck can anyone who lives in this country be opposed to this pledge ?
Do people even realize how many billions upon billions of dollars we ship overseas in the form of foreign aid, military assistance, government relief, and other forms of international aid to 3rd world countries ?
Our own infrasctructure is crumbling upon its own weight, and our own cities (like Chicago for example) are ridden with crime and poverty. Yet we continue to send free money to dozens of other nations ignoring the pressing problems facing our own people.
Not to suggest that as the worlds most powerful and wealthiest nation, we don't have a moral responsibility to aid those who are in need...but lets be clear about something....our own country is already in deep shit, and it's time to take care of our own backyard before we start writing checks.
When Trump spoke before the United Nations and raised eyebrows when he suggested that other nations step up, there were gasps from the left that could be heard around the world. The United States chips in over 25% of the entire U.N. annual budget lol. That is fucking absurd. It's time for other nations like the UK and Japan, Russia, China and other major counties to pay their share.
Our own county is over 20 TRILLION dollars in debt. That represents roughly $60,000 dollars for every man, woman and child in the United States. It's totally unacceptable for us to continue down this path where we continue to send countless billions of dollars overseas while neglecting our own citizens.

Reviewing all of the campaign promises made, it's clear to me that he is working dilligently to keep his word on most
Some of them are stalled due to partisan interference, some have been fulfilled (like canceling the fucked up Paris Climate Agreement), and some haven't had a chance to materialize simply because his presidency is still in it's relative infancy.
prototypes for the wall are already in construction and he is keeping his word on clamping down on violent gang members (like MS13) deporting them with razor sharp efficiency.
The stock market is soaring
unemployment claims are the lowest they've been in over 40 years
consumer confidence is at all time highs
approval poll ratings continue to rise steadily
Obama's legacy being eviscerated
In short...
Donald J. Trump is kicking ass and taking names, and there isn't a damn thing liberal snowflakes can do about it other than continue to cry like bitches and push false narratives grasping at straws.
