America Needs a True Leader—Not Just Another Partisan Fight

March 5, 2025

Watching former President Trump's speech last night, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of disappointment—not just in him, but in the overall state of our leadership. From the moment he entered the room, it was clear that political division continues to overshadow the real issues affecting Americans. The congresswoman holding a sign that read “This isn’t normal” and the congressman who aggressively took it from her hands—both acted immaturely. The event and the building should be respected, and their behavior was an embarrassment. Unfortunately, this is the kind of political theater we’ve come to expect.

While Trump has never been known as the most honest politician, it doesn’t excuse the behavior of those opposing him. The Democrats in attendance chose not to stand or clap for the citizens being honored, instead scrolling through their phones, detached from the moment. Then, there was Senator Al Green, who disrupted the speech—just as Marjorie Taylor Greene had done in the past to Biden. It’s the same cycle of disrespect from both sides. Frankly, representatives like Marjorie and Al have no business holding positions of power. It’s shameful that these are the people leading our country.

Beyond the theatrics, the speech also brought attention to real issues, like the growing trade tensions with Canada and Mexico. While concerns about immigration and cartel activity are valid, why create unnecessary conflict with Canada, a long-standing ally? A tariff war with a peaceful neighbor only harms everyday Americans. It's unfortunate that we’re heading into another four years of political and economic instability (great time to buy stocks though).

At the end of the day, the U.S. doesn’t need a leader focused on catering to billionaires or pushing extreme social agendas—whether left or right. Yes, I believe America needs God, but faith cannot be forced on people. God is a gentleman, and leadership should reflect wisdom, not control. Executive orders about paper straws and renaming bodies of water do nothing for struggling families. These distractions take away from the real issues: economic stability, national security, and ensuring that all Americans—regardless of background—can thrive.

The fight between Democrats and Republicans is exhausting. It’s time for a leader who prioritizes common sense and the good of the people over party loyalty. America needs someone willing to work across the aisle, to bring real solutions instead of fueling division. If we want a better future, we need a leader who puts the country first—someone who understands that politics isn't just about winning battles, but about serving the people who call this nation home. And those goes for those Congressmen and women we elect as well. We can do better America.
