Super Tuesday is fast approaching, and as a first time voter, I thought I would shed some light on the election for my fellow 18-years-olds who have yet to decide on a candidate. While the election may seem like a daunting process to new voters, I can assure you that the choice this year is quite obvious: When you arrive at your local voting precinct this coming Tuesday, make the right choice, and support Donald Trump for the Republican nomination.

From just a quick overview of the candidates, one can clearly see that Trump possesses a vision matched by no other. He is the only presidential candidate who has promised to “Make America Great Again,” which ironically is something I really want to do as well. It is so refreshing to see a presidential candidate focused on making our country great again, rather than waste our time by sharing detailed plans on how to lower unemployment or increase access to healthcare benefits.

Unlike other candidates, Trump isn’t afraid to stick to his guns. It only took 28 years and six different political party memberships (Democratic included) for Trump to finally decide to run for president of the United States. This decisiveness is an essential quality of any president, and it’s good to know that in the event of a national crisis, Trump would be able to respond in an assertive and non-contradictory manner.

Afraid of losing your future high-paying executive job to a Mexican laborer making 25 cents an hour tilling fields? If so, you’ll be in favor of Trump’s stance on immigration reform, which is definitely one of his most logical and brilliantly composed viewpoints. Trump promises that he will build a wall across the border, an effective mechanism that will undoubtedly put an end to illegal immigration as we know it. Better yet, he has stated that he will have Mexico pay for it, so we as taxpayers wouldn’t have to spend a cent toward this ingenious plan! Many economists have criticized Trump for this specific claim, but it’s not like Mexico has a crippling economy, rampant cartel problems, or a corrupt political system that would prevent them from willingly forking over the estimated billions of dollars Trump’s wall is predicted to cost. If by some off chance the Mexican government decides not to pay for the wall, which will permanently disassociate them from their northern neighbor, I’m sure Trump could just build rooms inside the wall and rent them out to deported Mexicans in Trump Tower-esque fashion. Building a giant wall to separate two sides worked out great in Germany, so why wouldn’t it work just as well here in the United States?

If you are a woman or ethnic minority, there is even more reason to vote for Trump. It is scientifically proven that all Mexican immigrants are criminals, all Muslim or Arab immigrants are terrorists, and all women are just flat out annoying. Thus, if you fall under any of these three categories, you probably feel pretty guilty for achieving any sense of upward mobility. Do not fret — Trump will put you back in your place and make sure we return to the days when our country was completely controlled by rich, white males.

Tired of Congress’s constant bitterness and lack of bipartisanship? Luckily for you, Trump has the most experience dealing with this matter. He may have no political experience whatsoever prior to his candidacy, and he may also completely reject any idea that is not his own; however, he did run The Celebrity Apprentice for a number of years. If Trump can get Meat Loaf and Gary Busey to work on a team together, there is no doubt in my mind he can get Democrats and Republicans in Congress to compromise and get things done. Even if he can’t, he can always fire them like in the show — right?

One of my favorite things about Trump is that he isn’t afraid to speak his mind, and in doing so I feel he protects my First Amendment right to freedom of speech. He says whatever he wants — even if it is often times really vague, bigoted, and completely inane. That being said, Trump never allows people with opposing viewpoints to speak out against him, and he will proceed to either talk over them or label them as “stupid.” As an American, I feel I am entitled to say whatever I want, but I shouldn’t have to listen to anyone else if what they say is “stupid.” It’s my First Amendment right to speak my mind, so who are you to disagree with me and tell me I’m wrong? Trump clearly possesses this mindset, and I’m glad he will continue to defend our First Amendment rights throughout his presidency.

I could go on and on about why Trump is the perfect candidate, yet by now I think you probably get the picture. If his dashing good looks and lovable personality didn’t already convince you of his legitimacy, I hope by now you realize the positive difference he can make to this country. So please, make the right choice this Tuesday and vote for Donald Trump.
