Because other than what he says about reducing crime and rebuilding DC, tunnels, roads etc,
what else am I supposed to believe?
I see nothing else other than TDS infected whiners complaining about everything he does.

He is solving the problem and that is what counts.
If he started in other cities you would find something to complain about as well
instead of admitting your democrat leaders have policies that do not enforce crime control.
They have failed and still they refuse helpt from Trump simply because he is Trump.
You ignore that part.

Because I care about what benefits the legal citizens of these cities and appreciate
those like Trump who are trying to help them rid their cities of crime.
Unlike the left who prefer to support criminals and ignore the victims.
