In my opinion Donald Trump is the best candidate for president for the 2024 election. This is mainly because of his economic policies, strong international policy, and U.S border policy. One of Trump’s key economic policies is “unleashing American energy” according to Stetson Miller at Local News Live. By decreasing regulations on the energy sector it will drive down gas prices, provide jobs for millions of Americans, and allow us to control our oil conditions. As of right now the U.S. runs on gas, there is no other way to put it. Technology hasn’t developed to a point that clean energy can be used for everything. Until that is accomplished it is paramount that the U.S keeps a strong hold on our oil supply. By allowing US companies to drill and have less regulations it will drive down prices for consumers, allow us to dictate the purity and contaminants in it and create jobs. I understand that drilling is not good for the environment.
Trump is known for his harsh words and strong attitude. Now at times it does create problems however it is also one of his greatest strengths. Foreign leaders know that Trump means business and is not afraid to retaliate. Trump has made it clear that he has one goal: America First. His goal is to rebalance the scales. He does by leaving unfair agreements such as the Parris Acords and striking trade agreements more favorable to the U.S. He is also not afraid to use the U.S’s strong military such as the Syria strike. When he says something he makes sure he follows through.
Another reason why I believe Trump is the better candidate for the 2024 election is his policy of the border. He believes in a strong immigration policy. With limitations on people coming across the border. I understand that people need help and want to come to the U.S. However, that doesn’t justify crossing the border illegally. Not to mention because thousands of people enter illegally, border police are completely overrun and overworked. According to the Washington Post “Illegal border crossings soared in the months after Biden took office and rolled back many Trump-era restrictions.” Trump’s border policies worked and we were better off for it.
