I am already witnessing firsthand positive results from attending to our borders

There are lots of things I don't like about our current #POTUS. If Obama, Bush or Clinton had pursued what he is pursuing, it would be couched with political bumpers. But both his physical and logical stance concerning our country's borders is spot on.

(1) I have a righteous hatred for mistreatment of dependent children and families. At the same time, our U.S. Constitution provides a legal path to citizenship. I am not about supporting illegal things, including #immigration. Since the invention of air travel, outsourcing of internet-based software development, etc. it is not a simple mile high border wall that will restore the balance of trade.

(2) We Americans love to consume, so we hate tariffs adding to the cost of IMPORTS. But #tariffs are working. Every 1% in GDP growth (eroded over the recent Republican and Democrat administrations) means roughly 10 million jobs regained for American citizens - https://t.co/OVVClBb0nX

- AND -

(3) Saturday I spoke with one of our football parents here in "prosperous" Williamson County who became reemployed with the specific purposes of bringing parts sourcing back to the U.S. Not only did he regain #employment to provide for his family, but American built components mean American jobs.

BRAVO MR. PRESIDENT

Sure, I wish our President had a little more Ronald Reagan (criticized for being an actor) or John Kennedy (a war hero parodied for his Bostonian accent) in him. That said, I refuse to beat him up for trying to do the next right thing for our country. We are commanded to #pray for those we have elected to LEAD us. Let's let God be the judge - He's the only one who is truly in control.

Why does this issue matter to me as a Realtor - with a great Nashville Realty Group ( http://nashvillerg.com ) practice? Reducing the trade deficit means stronger employment and more home transactions. Businesses will increase their need for commercial property to add employees, capacity and equipment. Sellers will have the needed confidence to buy their next home, vacation home or retirement destination. Buyers with stable employment prospects will have the courage to own their first home rather than rent. And of course all of this will have a positive impact on real estate values and the economy.
