Dear Editor,
Clearly Mr. Simmons you missed that semester at school when reading and comprehension were taught, so please allow me a moment to clear up your confusion with my letter concerning Ms. Clinton. First, allow me to say that I am the furthest thing from an aspiring politician there is. I am an engineer and, as such, my religions are the truth of mathematics and the absolutes of the laws of physics. There is no room in my life for the lies, BS, obfuscation and corruption of politics. I’ll leave that to the professionals like the Clintons.
Now to clarify and, in deference to you Mr. Simmons, I will use small words and short sentences. When I say Mr. Trump is lousy public speaker it is because (pay attention here, please) he is a lousy public speaker. It does not mean he has nothing to say; on the contrary, he has everything to say and most importantly, what he says is honest, truthful and to the point.
Compare this to Ms. Clinton, who is a much better public speaker because she has spent her entire life doing just that. Running her mouth and saying absolutely anything to anyone without a shred of regard for the truth. If someone will pay her, she will say exactly what they want to hear. And, to further help you understand, that is the fundamental difference between what we in engineering like to call style and substance. That is the difference between saying something that is the truth in a clear, understandable and unambiguous manner like Mr. Trump, versus using a lot of fine sounding language that means nothing as a way of evading any commitment she could possibly be held accountable for like Ms. Clinton.
Mr. Trump is the real deal. He has some tens of thousands of employees that he alone is responsible for. He accomplishes real and genuine things for a living. You can touch and feel them. They are real. He means what he says regardless if he isn’t going to win any public speaking awards. The Clintons, on the other hand, have done absolutely nothing for their entire professional lives except lie, cheat and steal. They are the poster children for a corrupt and inept political system.
To help you further, allow me to point out that when I refer to Mr. Trump as not being smart enough I am referring (as I clearly said) to his inability to lie on demand in the way that the Clintons have embedded in their DNA. Ask him a question and you get a real answer. Ask Hillary a question and you get 20 self-serving paragraphs that have no bearing at all on the subject.
Donald Trump is a self-made millionaire from his own work. He has an empire created from his own talent and brains in one of the toughest markets on the planet. He has done the work, something the Clintons could not recognize if it bit them in the face. They are the leeches on the system that drag it down for their own enrichment.
Mr. Simmons, if you cannot recognize that as being self-evident then I can only reply to you by talking some licence with what Mark Twain said a very long time ago: “If your ideal candidate is one that talks a good game, but can do nothing except lie cheat and steal versus one that has a long proven track record of solid accomplishment, but who isn’t a particularly polished public speaker, then you deserve the government you get in all respects.” And none of this has anything to do with St. Maarten…which like most of the rest of my writing that you have failed to grasp. I never said it did.
Steven Johnson
