The Post endorses Donald Trump for president the clear choice for a better future

Voters carry a heavy responsibility in this election — one of the most consequential in the history of this great nation.The choice will have reverberations for decades, deciding which of two very different paths for the future Americans will take. We must choose the following:   Only one candidate can credibly claim to lead us there. Donald Trump.If history is any guide, the track records of the last two administrations provide a clearly comparable record. To borrow from Ronald Reagan’s famous “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?”: Voters should ask themselves if they were better off under Trump or Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.  His opponents focus on how Trump’s administration was marked by a relentless soap opera of high drama and chaos — much of which they fueled. And yes, many find him offensive — and we say fair enough: He can be ridiculously hyperbolic. But before COVID wreaked havoc across the globe, Trump’s first-term results were paychecks that grew markedly faster than inflation, the lowest unemployment in 50 years, a secure border and peace overseas.In 2021, when Biden-Harris took over, the country took a hard left turn with disastrous results. Over these nearly four years, inflation has walloped Americans, millions of migrants have crossed the border illegally, some cities have been taken over by gangs and crime, radical and ridiculous culture wars over DEI and gender identity have set neighbor against neighbor. Let’s not forget that overshadowing all of this, the world is on the precipice of widespread war.Today, Trump exhibits the same strength and vigor as he did in 2016, despite the unprecedented and disgraceful weaponization of the justice system against him, two assassination attempts and the all-too-familiar constant barrage of hysterical media attacks on him.Subscribe to our daily Post Opinion newsletter!
