I think we must sincerely believe in the worth of Mr. Trumps cause. The justification of his loyalty lie’s in his character of a necessary discipline for the achievement of certain valuable ends for country. Every Citizen must be involve into the true purpose of the our government. As Aristotle says that the state exists for the sake of good life to its Citizens. The general will of people is no longer the will of democrats. Our National will and conscious must represent the true interests of the people. The advantages and respect through whole world which we enjoyed have been due in part to struggle of our Forefathers, and it is our duty, as well as our desires to provide for the interests of our children. All the contradictions and debate against Mr. Trumpet guided by secret motives. The general will always right, and the unity of the states are is the interest of our community.
