In recent years, Mr. Tatum has written several letters attacking Trump on personal grounds, but I don’t recall reading any specific Trump policy with which he disagrees, or more importantly, any specific policies of Biden (and now Harris) with which he agrees.  Personally, I vote based on POLICY, not PERSONALITY.  The Biden/Harris war on fossil fuels, soft on crime and open border policies have directly fueled inflation, caused the housing crisis and made American citizens less safe. 

Tatum thinks it is relevant that people denounced Trump after he fired them for incompetence!  Or, people who should have been fired for incompetence, like General Mark Milley who oversaw the most costly, embarrassing fiasco in US military history – the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.   So, you don’t like Trump … but isn’t it more relevant that Biden/Harris failed to fire Milley after his demonstrated incompetence in Afghanistan?

Guess who else denounced Trump — the 51 intelligence officials who published a letter in October 2020 falsely saying that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation, knowing that the laptop was real and that its contents would be highly damaging to the Biden campaign.   Are you comfortable that former heads of the CIA and NSA would knowingly mislead the American people to sway voters toward a Presidential candidate who was rejected by Democrats in 1998 and 2004 for lying and plagiarizing?

It should concern ALL Americans that Border Czar Kamala Harris and DHS Secretary Mayorkas not only failed to secure our border but, through a combination of actions and inactions, have aided and abetted over 10 million illegal immigrants, thousands of missing immigrant children (many of whom are likely trafficking victims), enough fentanyl to kill every American and who knows how many terrorists and criminals to cross our southern borders.  So, did they intentionally betray American citizens or are they incompetent?  The Biden/Harris Administration rescinded over 90 Trump policies that secured our borders, and even filed lawsuits to prevent actions by Texas and other border states attempting to secure their borders!  Harris has so little respect for Democrat voters that she expects them to believe she will get tough on the border if she gets elected – why isn’t she doing it NOW???

Trump dumped employees he deemed incompetent or disloyal – yet, Harris’s employees dumped HER with a 91.5% staff turnover rate since becoming VP  [Harris’s Personnel Problem: Over 90 Percent of VP’s Staff Left in Last Three Years, National Review, July 22, 2024]. So, who is the more effective leader???  DEMOCRATS outright rejected Harris in the 2020 Primaries with fewer than 2% of the vote because she was universally disliked by DEMOCRATS – and now she is the best that Democrats have to offer?? 

In spite of their propaganda to the contrary, Democrats pose the greatest threat to the Constitution and democracy itself, as demonstrated by  1) rigging the last 3 Democrat Primaries, 2) executing  a “soft coup” against Presidential candidate Biden, 3) SELECTING (not ELECTING) a new Presidential candidate who did not receive one single Democrat Primary vote, 4) engaging in “lawfare” against political opponents, 5) opening our borders, and 6) actively seeking to weaken Voter ID laws.    Do Democrat voters realize that these things diminish their own voting power?  Did YOU vote for Harris in the Democrat primaries??  Or, are you comfortable with letting Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer make your decisions for you?

Trump has consistently said that he wants to “Make America Great” for all Americans.  Democrats have consistently said they will do whatever it takes to prevent Trump from being reelected.  This speaks volumes about the Democrat agenda.   Perhaps this is why two recent Democrat Presidential candidates (RFK, Jr and Tulsi Gabbard) left the Democrat party and currently endorse Trump.
