My 2016 Presidential Election Voter's Ballot.
For me, Donald J. Trump was the candidate I voted for. He was the candidate whom I felt can create real, effective, efficient, and fiscally responsible changes that will promote prosperity for those individuals who are hard-working Americans. I feel he can expand and create additional opportunities to my existing ones, so I can prosper and pursue my own dreams as a hard-working driven American. I believe Donald J. Trump with his roll-up-the-sleeves hands-on style of directly addressing issues in a non-politically-correct and un-orthox political manner is the man that can create and align America to a first-rate international power.
Now, I wanna be clear...I never expect anyone to give me my American dream. I, like my father, believe I am responsible for my own American dream, and I work to get my dreams. All I expect from the president is that he or she doesn't create unequal tax structures based upon my wealth, protects my capitalists behaviors by not regulating me nor my business investments, protect my Second Amendment rights, and protects my safety with a strong military and homeland security -- everything else, I can handle on my own. A president who can do these things for me, helps me prosper as an entrepreneur; and, when I prosper, I can decide, on my own, which social programs I want to fund via donations.
In the 80s, I prospered during Ronald Reagan's administration as a hard-working driven American; in the 90s, I prospered during Bill Clinton's administration as a hard-working driven American (he really did an awesome job with our economy -- that was the only reason I considered voting for Hillary Clinton, but more on that topic later); in the millennium, I prospered during George Bush's (43) administration as a hard-working driven American; and, now, I anticipate I will prosper during Donald J. Trump's administration as a hard-working driven American.
By the way, the last time I was this happy about a presidential candidate was the time Former President George Bush (43) beat Al Gore...I remember that evening -- it was a great and historical night for me!
Tonight, 8-November-2016, @ 2345 Hours PST, Fox News officially announced Donald J. Trump beat Hillary Clinton, and she conceded by making a phone call to him congratulating him. Now, a fiscally responsible president-elect and his personnel are in command after eight years of corrupt government elites goofing' around with my hard-earned money by creating unfair tax structures, ill-thought out social and entitlement programs, and unnecessary government regulations to corporations and small to medium businesses.
Tonight, is one of the most happiest and most memorable times of my life; because, I believe, Donald J. Trump truly understands my financial class in order to eliminate unequal tax structures that penalize my financial success. He will create infrastructures to build strong international and domestic economies that favor the United States, create fiscally responsible programs, de-regulate unnecessary government business regulations, build a strong military, build strong homeland security, and protect all Americans at home and abroad. He will clean up the mess from the corrupt government elites during the past eight years and help all of us towards making America Great Again.
I like he is a straight-shooter, un-orthodox in his political manners, not politically-correct, and doesn't bow down to anyone. I like that he calls "bull-shit," when he suspects "bull-shit" is present; and, he excuses no one's bull-shit, regardless of race, social status, religious positions (e.g., the pope), political status, celebrity status, and etc.. He is not driven by the opinions of others; and, his brash style, non-politically-correct attitude, unfiltered and unscripted opinions, thoughts, and messages are exactly the stuff that I want in a candidate. I believe he will clean up and eliminate policies spawned by the corrupt government elites during the past eight years. I believe he will position America as an upper-hand when dealing with other countries that have taken advantage of us (i.e., those countries doing business with us and taking us to the cleaners -- China -- don't get me started with my direct political and financial experiences with China).
Now, people have asked me, "how do you know he can do all that he says?" Well, of course, there are no guarantees -- hell, President Obama didn't keep three of his campaign promises in 2008; so, why would I expect any other presidential candidate to keep any of their campaign promises? Notwithstanding the broken promises of past presidential candidates, I'm willing to give Donald J. Trump a chance -- I'm betting he is gonna be a lot different than any president in the United States and that impression alone is exciting for me even if he doesn't keep his campaign promises.
People have also asked me, "why would you vote for a presidential candidate that's a racist, misogynist, demagogue, and xenophobe?"
I have two answers to this question:
1) Well, in my readings and observations about him from when I was a college student in the 80s to present, I don't view him as those characteristics; so, personally, to me, he is not a racist, misogynist, demagogue, and xenophobe. In my opinion, certain media channels created this image of him; and, in my opinion and experiences, either personally or publicly, we all have engaged in one or all of those characteristics in our lifetime. If you don't believe me, catch up on your history -- specifically, World War II and the way we treated Japanese-Americans during that time. Also, check out a film called, The Wave. Want a more recent example? Just view the online profiles on Match.com or other on-line dating sites and check out all the singles' parameters for their perfect match. Also, check-out the comments of pictures and tweets on Instagram and Twitter, respectively -- you will see people show various forms of those characteristics of which certain media channels have publicized about him.
2) For the sake of argument, let's say he is a racist, misogynist, demagogue, and xenophobe. Well, those are his personal beliefs; and, I am not concerned about his personal beliefs; and, I don't care about his married life nor his affairs -- those things have nothing to do with me. I am not his moral compass, his parent, or nanny, nor do I care to be. Those activities mean nothing to me in the same fashion Former President Clinton was getting a blow-job from Monica Lewinsky mean nothing to me -- not my concern -- all I cared about, at that time, during his leadership, was the economy; and, Former President Clinton kicked ass with the economy; so, if getting blow-jobs in the Oval Office enhanced his presidential performance in making the economy great, then, by all means, he should get blow-jobs daily, nightly, and twice on Sundays. If my goal is to have a presidential candidate that possesses saint-like characteristics in his or her personal life, then I would not vote for Donald J. Trump; but, that's not my goal -- my goal is to get a presidential candidate in office that can create pathways for me, so I can pursue my own American dream without getting hit with unequal tax structures or without contributing to entitlement and social programs that are ill-thought out and have no benefit for me. So, in this case, based on my personal goals and wants, Donald J. Trump is the best candidate for me. Finally, let's continue with the premise that he is a racist, misogynist, demagogue, and xenophobe -- I'm willing to look past those things and give him a chance to be president; because, the benefits he brings to me outweigh those personal characteristics that are different from mine.
Congratulations, Donald J. Trump! I am proud to experience your leadership in my lifetime. I am proud to have voted for you and donated to your campaign. I am proud to help you make America Great Again!

During a Trump Dinner Celebration I attended, a person at my table asked me, "Did you consider voting for Hillary Clinton?"
I answered, "Honestly, yes I did -- because, I felt that I would also get Bill Clinton to balance Hillary out; but, here is a personal anecdote that is my main and only reason I did NOT vote for Hillary Clinton, which Bill Clinton's successful past economic leadership could not overcome:
In my many years in Corporate America, I saw employees get fired because they abrogated, either knowingly or unknowingly, corporate policies. They either submitted a bogus expense report for a meal they never ate, was insubordinate, lied on their résumé, got caught watching porn during office hours, misused their corporate credit card, misused their corporate mobile phones, misused their corporate computers, misused their corporate vehicle, sexually harassed another worker, misused the transmission and receipt of confidential corporate-related emails on unauthorized devices, and so on. Some of them did not know that they breached corporate policies by the actions; and, each of these employees, to the best of my knowledge, needed their jobs. All of them got fired even though they apologized for their actions and admitted they made a mistake.
One executive, during my time at PG&E, got criminal charges against him for misappropriating $100,000 out of his division's budget. He was convicted and served five years in jail.
Get my drift?
I have no problems voting for a woman presidential candidate -- just not Hillary."
