My intuition told me that you are the best candidate the first time you showed on the public for the Presidential campaign. You are deemed to be different from other former U.S. presidents if you would be, as I thought then.
I read about your story 20 years ago when you were a real estate business man. The story tells people how you succeeded in business as a young grad and later became an real estate magnate. It was inspiring and motivated me very much then.
Not only do you have business acumen, I think, but also the charisma of leadership. I admire your personal traits. You are a genuine and reliable man. You act what you said.
Some Americans dislike you because they might not understand you unless they leave or live outside USA for a period of time. They don't not know the other peoples' lives where there is no freedom of speech, no real human rights, etc. in their countries, or a country of a dictator, political coercion, a government of corruption, etc.
"Make America Great Again" is coming into effect and in the process.
The immigration rule and its operation seem to be a bit cruel and pains to some people or families. But who are the last beneficiaries? The Americans. The Americans are more likely to live in a good and safe country.
Winning in the globe trade business actually protects U.S. enterprises and makes "Made in USA" promising and viable. And we see a lowest unemployment rate of 3.8 in May 2018 since your presidency. You've carried out stern sanctions against those foreign corporations or countries who overlook the compliance rules in international business.
U.S. & North Korea Summit in Singapore
As you said to ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos, "Over my lifetime I've done a lot of deals with a lot of people and sometimes the people you most distrust turn out to be the most honorable ones and the people that you do trust turn out to be not the honorable ones." We can perceive a little about your philosophy in whatever your business or political life. And, this is just a piece of your wisdom.
Last but not least, you are the right person to be the U.S. president at the right time when global economic or political crisis is easy to be triggered off, and the world really need a great America of power and justice.
You are great; so is America.

Examining ICE Tactics in Minnesota After the Renee Good Shooting
The fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good on January 7, 2026, by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota has sent shockwaves across the country. What started as a routine federal immigration enforcement operation quickly became a national controversy over policing practices, federal authority, and the use of force in civilian areas. Protests erupted across the U.S., federal prosecutors resigned in protest, and lawmakers debated whether ICE’s tactics were accountable, transparent, or even appropriate for community safety. At the center of the debate is one pressing question: Did ICE follow proper procedures, or did its own policies contribute to this tragedy? The answers reveal a complex situation with serious implications for civil rights and public trust. What Happened in Minneapolis? According to federal authorities, Renee Good was shot during a targeted ICE operation. Officials claimed the agent fired in self-defense after Good’s vehicle allegedly attempted to hit him. DHS described the incident as a defensive action and labeled Good’s behavior as dangerous. However, video footage and eyewitness accounts tell a different story. The videos show Good’s vehicle angled away from the agent at the moment shots were fired. Experts reviewing the footage question whether lethal force was necessary. Local leaders, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, criticized the federal narrative, saying the shooting lacked justification. Thousands of residents protested in Minneapolis, Chicago, Washington D.C., and other cities, demanding accountability. Adding to the controversy, the U.S. Justice Department announced it would not open a civil rights investigation into the shooting. This decision led at least six federal prosecutors in Minnesota to resign, citing concerns over a lack of accountability. ICE’s Tactics Under Scrutiny ICE’s official policies allow agents to use force if they believe there is imminent danger. Critics argue, however, that the specifics of this encounter reveal troubling tactics. Footage shows agents approaching Good’s vehicle and physically pulling at the door handle—a move some law enforcement experts say can provoke panic and escalate risk. Shooting into a moving vehicle, especially while positioned directly in front of it, goes against many standard police safety protocols. Experts also note that ICE agents may receive different training from municipal police, often emphasizing aggressive enforcement rather than de-escalation. In community settings, such tactics can heighten tensions rather than reduce them. Community Impact and Fear The shooting left many Minneapolis residents terrified. Witnesses described the scene as chaotic, with sounds of honking, yelling, and then gunfire. Immigrant communities, in particular, felt vulnerable. Many now avoid public spaces or interactions with authorities to prevent escalation. Local organizers have launched civilian patrols to monitor ICE activity and keep residents informed about federal operations. Protests have spread beyond Minneapolis, signaling a national concern about federal enforcement and its impact on communities. Political Backlash and Accountability Questions The shooting sparked political battles at the national level. Democratic lawmakers called for greater oversight of federal agents and transparency about ICE operations. Some urged Congress to require independent investigations into use-of-force incidents involving ICE. Meanwhile, supporters of ICE defended the agent’s actions, arguing that Good’s behavior justified the use of deadly force. Former President Donald Trump publicly backed the agent, even as video evidence raised doubts about whether Good posed a direct threat. Critics argue that the Justice Department’s refusal to investigate civil rights violations, combined with the resignations of federal prosecutors, raises questions about political influence over law enforcement accountability. Broader Questions About Federal Enforcement Renee Good’s shooting also raises larger questions about ICE and federal enforcement: Use-of-force standards: Should ICE align its protocols with civilian police departments or independent best practices for de-escalation? Transparency: How much public disclosure should be required when federal officers operate in local communities and make life-or-death decisions? Community trust: Does aggressive enforcement erode trust, making residents less likely to cooperate with authorities or seek help when needed? These are not just hypothetical concerns. Every ICE operation has the potential to either strengthen or weaken public trust, especially in diverse urban communities. Moving Forward: Reform or Retribution? In Minnesota, state and local leaders are taking legal action against ICE. Lawsuits challenge the agency’s authority and tactics. Civil rights lawyers, including those who represented George Floyd’s family, are advocating for accountability and transparency. For many advocates, Renee Good’s death is more than a single tragedy—it symbolizes systemic issues with federal enforcement in civilian spaces. Whether these events lead to meaningful reform remains uncertain. What is clear is that the shooting has sparked a national conversation about enforcement tactics, civil rights, and the role of federal agencies in everyday American life. The outcome of this debate will shape how communities and government balance security and civil liberties for years to come.
