Trump's Mixed Bag

I love the fact that President Trump has cut taxes and regulation. I appreciate that Trump is trying to secure the border. I see the President is not eager to start new military adventures or expand old ones (though I realize some things are worse than war). I am in principle a free trader but recognize true free trade must be fair trade, so I stand with the President on tariffs. I hate the fact that the President has continued to expand Obama's uncontrolled debt. I am saddened that President Trump does not revere our natural rights the way Reagan did. I am alarmed that Trump is no Constitutional conservative but a populist or even a demagogue who is glad to shift from campaign pledges when popular opinion changes. I will vote for Donald Trump in 2020 because the Democrat Presidential candidates are open border socialists at this point. I knew Ted Cruz was the authentic conservative and the genuine backer of gun rights in the last Presidential primary and I voted for him, but gladly backed Trump over Hillary. I will do so again, albeit with some reservations when he wins his second term.
