To the Editor:

Presidential candidates for both parties have been on the political or public dole for years even decades. All except Donald Trump.

Our country has some serious problems that need fixing. We are debt-ridden, spending is out of control, our borders are not secure, the numbers of illegal immigrants increases every day, unvetted refugees are about to enter the country, our military  personnel is at the lowest in years while terrorist enemies kill innocent people here and throughout the world and our reputation in the world is greatly diminished. 

It seems logical that now the President of the United States should be unlike any of the candidates who have been or are now a part of government. Trump is a successful businessman who solves problems. He is a negotiator and strong decision maker. He owes no lobbyist or big money donors as his campaign is self-funded. It seems logical that he has what we need as President in this country now.
