Trump's statements have made him a hero

Like him or not, the reasons Donald Trump has supporters are his statements on the border, immigration, jobs, military and the slogan "Make America Great Again." The fact that he says Heidi Klum's no longer a "10" doesn't even register. That's not enough to cause people to question why they support him.

But there's another very important element: How is it that the vast majority of this country has been silenced into submission?

It's political correctness, and Trump blows that all to smithereens. And if you don't think that's a major factor on the political scene today, you'd better learn it quick. Trump says things most folks desperately want to say. He carries this banner for the people. He says and acts in ways they do in private, but can't get away with in public ... and it makes him a hero.
