paint pictures of a much better future where everyone’s lives are better by making
the country great again and keeping it that way. This is something totally
unusual as professional politicians don’t really want to solve the problems,
just perpetuating and making the problems bigger and bigger. The promises are
blatant attacks to the status quo. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This

been in power for a long time since they are fully responsible to the stagnation
and corruption. Most problems facing the government and the country were
created by professional politicians. Corruption has been there for a very long
time. Mr. Smith went to Washington is a classical movie that depicts how
difficult it is to make real changes in government. Trump goes to Washington is the real thing and few accept really for what it is. The scare tactics and apocalyptic scenarios of the opposition no longer work. The
exposures include not only the corrupt politicians but also the
rats and moles, often disguised as whistle blower<i>. This is key so the alligators

The harsh language is often necessary
to highlight and call to attention the wrong that has been going on for a long
time. The simple yet effective communication style is directed towards the
hypocrite opposition, the entrenched deep state that feels entitled to keep
things the way they are. The language is full of truth that hypocrites hate to
hear. Leave the kind language to Mr. Smith and Mr. Rogers. Yes, the system ate
up Mr. Smith. The sissies whine, complain and condemn as they see that their neighborhood
will never be the same. <i>The truth is not popular but it is the greatest weapon

Public opinion and support are
critical yet bold leaders stand for what is right not popular. The leader has
the ability to connect with a wide range of people, from the well-educated to
the outcasts. Earns loyalty from those that take the time to know what it takes
to get things done. More and more people join the community as they wake up, smell
the rats and enjoy the chase. The common working and productive person feel
she finally has a voice and someone is listening. <i>When given a choice more

and the media in ways they cannot deal with or predict what will happen next. Having
mastered flexibility and adaptability from a lifetime of accumulated experiences
in business gives the leader an edge to deal with a multitude of complex issues.
How refreshing to have a leader who can cut through the red tape, the BS, and
get to the real problems and be surrounded by like-minded people to provide
lasting solutions. The methods and techniques are constantly changing but the
principles never change. The rats hate when someone moves their cheese and they
become aggressive when their cheese is completely taken out of their diet. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i>People respect and admire boldness when the

use them. Political correctness is not part any communication. Has no need for
personal gains. This empowers the leader to create a community of followers
with the right culture and the culture produces the results and everyone
shines. The establishment is jealous, envious and feel the only thing left is
to continuously attack the character of the leader. The opposition is not smart
enough to realize that criticizing the leader is the same as criticizing the followers.
Armed with the truth the leader can let the chips fall where they may. The
leader has the ability to hire and fire, no strings attached. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i>The right motives empower the bold leader.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

resistance and opposition. This turns upside down all the rules of conduct for
the establishment. While the establishment is engulfed in removing the leader, they are at least no hindering the actions that produce great results. As the positive results start to compound, the opposition
goes crazy and starts to attack the character, the common thing to do. The
hardest thing in life is to explain the lack of results. Great results speak
for themselves. For carrying the mission and vision of making everyone's life better, the leader faces violent
opposition and persecution. The bold leadership is shaking the country and the
world in unpredictable ways creating a new model for many other nations to
follow. Brazil and Britain are just a couple of examples, where conservatives are in control. <i>The big risk to this bold leadership in government is the deep state
will do anything and everything to remove the leader. Opposition can become
violent and the deep state, the entrenched mob will do everything to prevent
the bold leader to prevail. Amazing how clear things become. No wonder so many are moving to the right camp.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

The Democratic Party has gone so far to the left that it is falling of the cliff. The party has gone from the sky is falling to a doomsday cult party. Their members draw comfort from an apocalyptic view that proclaims the world is ending because of the conservatives. Imagine that! The conservatives are responsible for nonsense things like climate change. The climate has been and will continue to change. The love the last one where the Amazon is burning. Here is a little truth. The amazing burns every August and it has been doing it for thousands of years. The burning is part of natural cycle. I have been going there for 40 years. Now, the conservative president of Brazil is responsible for setting the Amazon on fire! The liberals and conservatives have diverged enormously in the last decade. To me it is crystal clear now which party is better to be associated with.<br />

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Trump has
been able to address hot political issues that politicians have been dancing
around for a long time. He has demonstrated enormous courage to tackle immigration,
the weak economy, foreign trade, foreign affairs and taxation and regulations
to improve American competitiveness. He is a president going on the offensive
and getting a lot done in the midst of unprecedented desire by his opponents to
remove him from the office, since day one. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The democratic
goons are all out there watching every move he makes, trying to get him, yet he
is outmaneuvering them all. His ego is
bigger than our country. Why not allow his ego work for the benefit of all Americans?
So, what if Trump is performing for himself, for his ego. The great thing is
that when he wins, everyone wins and all benefits from his victories. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">He is a no-nonsense
leader, called for such times, using his gut instincts to make great deals or
make no deal at all. Yes, he is making America great again, just as he promised,
leaving his opposition and naysayers with indigestion for having to eat the
words and the fun they all made of him during his 2016 campaign. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

captain for the American ship. Economic indicators are all pointing in the right
direction. He has been a great economic psychologist. He took office fast and furious and quickly altered
the mood of business and Wall Street. The most difficult thing is to explain the
lack of results.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

decisions, from hiring to firing. This is so different from the typical political
analysis paralysis that big government is known for. He certainly can made
decisions, often gut-wrenching ones, that will benefit the nation many for
years to come.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

action is needed, leaving the opposition breathing the dust. While the
opposition talks, he takes action to get things done. Since the opposition has
no clue about his strategies and plans, all they can do is to go to the battle
field, wonder what has happened and blow a lot of smoke. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

nation that is anti-business and against business profits? There is none. The prosperity
of any society depends on the success of the business enterprises. America was
long overdue for a president that is pro-business with deep knowledge of what
it takes to build and run businesses. Trump has survived in an industry full of
sharks so it is obvious that he has acquired some shark habits. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Character is Integrity plus
courage. Integrity is doing what you promised, what you said you were going to
do. Remember the promise of our previous president of uniting the nation and
ended up doing exactly the opposite. Courage is the ability to act in the midst
of any situation, no matter how difficult or fearful it may be. Strong
character produces authority by taking responsibility and accountability for
delivering results that were promised.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is always polarizing. If you need them, you cannot lead them. The problem with many politicians is that they
want to please everyone or to be disliked by no one. Remember how unpopular
Lincoln was for standing firm on what he believed were the non-negotiables during his presidency? Lincoln stood resolute to abolish slavery and keep the
union together (apparently some have not learned that lesson yet). Yes, Trump
will build the wall!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

me is how many Americans want him to fail. While the left goons keep increasing
their shenanigans, he keeps getting more popular and more people are moving to
his camp. Trump will go down in history
as a great president, for pivoting the nation into a very prosperous future. I
would rather have a president for blue-collar workers than one for the aristocratic
elite, the educated derelicts, any time! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

The Catholic Church should publicize all the good it does around the world,
since the media are only concerned with spreading pedophilia scandals (which
certainly have to be and are being combated).</div>

Many people do not know that the Catholic Church is the largest
charitable institution on the planet. If the Catholic Church left Africa, 60%
of schools and hospitals would be closed. When the AIDS epidemic broke out in
the US and the authorities did not know what to do, the church nuns were
invited to take care of the sick because no one else wanted to do so. In
Brazil, until 1950, when there was no public health policy or government health
assistance, it was the charity houses of the Catholic Church that looked after
people who could not afford a hospital.<o:p></o:p></div>

Regardless of religion, it is necessary to recognize that the CATHOLIC
CHURCH, criticized and judged for doing nothing, lives to help others. Do you
know why it is being judged? No advertisement, because it is not a Catholic
value to publicize charity. Only those who is part of the Catholic Church, know
when the good it is being done.<o:p></o:p></div>

asking and answering yourself big questions. How often do we stop and ask the
big, the right questions to ourselves? This is a great exercise that is being forgotten

thoughtfully, and above all write down your answers. </span></div>

most people don’t win? The short and simple answer is: people don’t win because
they don’t know what winning is; therefore, they don’t keep score. Everyone has
the potential to win at something. Winning is associated with powerful words
like victory, conquest, success, significance, competence, triumph, gaining, etc.
So, it is a big deal to win, win often, and win BIG. </span></div>

currency of great leaders. Success is different for everyone; significance is
the same, the amount of love we give throughout our lives, the memories we
create. Does this make you think beyond success? Before we start trading this
powerful currency, we must understand it and learn how to generate it in
ourselves. Once we know the power of this currency, we can be free to be who we
were created to be, to fulfill our purpose in life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

suffer, to endure doing the best we can. We must put love into our being, our
core, and all that we do. All the accolades, the titles, the achievements are
meaningless if we do not love. Once we are free, we realize we are no longer
bound, held hostage, addicted to the world definitions of success, we can then
fully love and be loved. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

through life with the wrong money views living paycheck to paycheck thinking
that it is normal to live this way. Have you ever wondered why financial
literacy is not taught in our schools? How good is it to work hard if one does
not know how to be a good steward with the fruits of one’s labor? <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

proper money sequence is understanding, earn, save, give, invest, and spend.
What do most people do? They do the opposite. They go out and spend then go to
work to earn it. Also, most people don’t follow the right money hierarchy. The
put money on the riskiest ventures because they want to get rich quick. When we
violate the basic principles, the live with the consequence of living broke. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

of financial illiteracy. Know the difference of an asset and a liability, an

finance a liability, especially things like houses, cars, entertainment, etc. Acquire
assets instead of liabilities. Spend what is necessary and invest once you can

millionaire mentality. Practice long term thinking, delayed gratification, and
leveraging the power of compounding. Wealth is created slowly at first, then all
of a sudden; the same applies to going broke. Only listen to financially free
people with a track record of results. Listen to Warren Buffet because he has a
lifelong track record of financial results. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
