Trump as a person is someone I admire greatly, for several reasons. I’m a 21 year old male and only two years ago I wasn’t doing anything with my life. I dropped out of college in my first year, I sat at home being in that pseudo-depressed state were you don’t care about anything, playing videogames and browsing youtube. That was my life. Frankly my dream was always to join the military, but my physique was nothing special (not to say below average) and I had nothing going for me in the way of motivation to change that.

You ever seen Rocky? ‘Cause it was a bit like Rocky. In comes this old dude, he doesn’t even know I exist. But I know he exists. And I started following him, I started watching what he does and I saw that he was charismatic, succesful. He was a leader, someone who could rally the troops. And boy did he ever rally me. I watched several Trump rallies, I saw this old ass dude not give a shit about the shit he got, I saw him not give a shit about the people trying to intimidate him. And I was inspired. I started working out, I started running and I started boxing. I found meaning, I found a reason to live.

If nothing else, I was going to be like Donald J Trump. I was going to be a man who could rally the troops, a man who could inspire others to be like me like he inspired me. A year ago I finally realised my dream and built up the courage to go into the military, I had the time of my fucking life. What an incredible experience. I was on top of the world. And then I got discharged with an injury during training. That was messed up, but I didn’t let it stop me. I continued to follow that man who inspired me, I healed and immediately went into the fire department.
Trump has shown me something. He showed me that I just have to put my mind to it. Nothing is beyond my reach, as long as I put my mind to it and am willing to work for it. A path to fire marshall is open to me, to this college dropout nobody. And I wouldn’t have done it if it weren’t for Donald J Trump. When he won the presidency, I cried tears of joy. Not because I wanted him to win so badly, but because that was the absolute testament to what I believe: you can do it if you put your mind to it.
My grandpa was my father figure, but he didn’t really encourage me to do stuff. He just taught me how to be a man for society, Donald J Trump showed me how to be a man for myself. He helped me turn my life around from trainwreck to bullet train gleaming in the sun. Words can’t describe how grateful I am for that. And he doesn’t even know it.

What I wouldn’t do to shake that man’s hand.
