Editor, OBSERVER:

There are many people who won’t like this.

Perhaps Donald Trump is hated because he solves problems that others need to keep existing. Think about it for a moment, Trump is not a traditional politician. He is a businessman who came to the White House thinking like a businessman and that completely changes the rules of the game. A politician lives off rhetoric, long processes, summits and promises. A businessman lives off closing deals, resolving conflicts and moving forward. For one the problem is a political tool. For the other the problem is something that has to be eliminated. That’s why many say President Trump makes the international system so uncomfortable. The United Nations doesn’t want him. Many diplomats don’t want him. A large part of the global political class doesn’t either. And the question becomes unavoidable, why do they hate someone who seems to resolve conflict? Some believe the answer is simple: Because many people make a living from problems never being solved. Endless wars, endless diplomatic crises, committees, meetings, reports, budgets, positions. An entire system that functions as long as the problem remains. Trump breaks that logic. For him the world works like a business. If there’s a conflict, you negotiate. If there’s a crisis, you apply pressure. If there’s a problem, you solve it.

And often, according to his supporters, with a simple phone call. That’s why they say President Trump exposes something uncomfortable, that perhaps many leaders are not there to solve problems but to manage them indefinitely. Because when the problem disappears so does the powers that revolves around it. So the question that divides the world is this: Is President Trump a danger to the system or is the system, in itself, the real problem?

My fellow Americans, when a strong, no nonsense leader like Donald J. Trump puts America first and demands results, our nation stands taller, our people feel prouder and the world finally respects the power of American leadership again. That is the America we love. Bold, decisive and unstoppable.

God bless the United States of America, the greatest Nation on Earth.
