Donald Trump's Top 10 Positive Attributes
Editor's note: In his Jan. 2 "Private Eye" column, City Weekly founder John Saltas invited readers to "Name the Top 10 positive attributes of Donald Trump before the world ends." Various readers submitted individual attributes—the following Top 10 was submitted in its entirety.

You asked for it, here it is:
1. Donald Trump is a loving, devoted family man.
2. Donald Trump is real—he says what he means and means what he says, he is not a politician.
3. Donald Trump is a fighter—he never backs down, he punches back twice as hard.
4. Donald Trump is a man of action—he does what he says he will do, he takes charge.
5. Donald Trump loves his country—has nothing to gain by serving and everything to lose.
6. As president, Donald Trump launched missiles into Syria in April of 2017 and immediately restored America's credibility to its global allies and adversaries alike, after eight years of the Obama/Biden administration "leading from behind."
7. As president, Donald Trump restored the United States' economy from the effects of the 2008 Great Recession via the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 and massive deregulation, which resulted in record foreign and domestic capital investment, job creation and low unemployment without corresponding inflation increases, resulting in real wages finally exceeding 1979 levels.
8. As President, Donald Trump, through Executive Orders, secured our southern borders.
9. As President, Donald Trump nominated 234 federal judges who were confirmed, including three Supreme Court justices, with the results to date including the upholding of First Amendment rights (particularly freedom of religion) and the striking down of decades of wanton judicial activism (particularly Roe v. Wade and Chevron deference).
10. And before the world ends, the impending administration of President Donald Trump will restore our nation's faith in its institutions, including a functioning Congress, respect for law and order and a society free from government repression.

To get out of homelessness and poverty is difficult, but this [tiny home village] is a wonderful opportunity for people to have a fighting chance to do just that. Very excited to see this in our home state.

Statistically speaking, let's see what the ROI is in two years—not for the residents, but the officials in charge of this. I bet it looks good on a resume and not much else.
