Introduction
Freedom and opportunity are the pinnacles of governance, wherever they lead we should follow. On the contrary, partisan politics leads us to the pitfalls of humanity. People become rigid when flexibility is required. Unseen facts appear at random, and ideas must adapt in the face of incontrovertible evidence. After years of thoughtful research, I seek truth as an American, not a partisan.
Being a conservative is like training at the gym. It requires a painful input (x) but offers a rewarding output (y). Let us take an issue, for example, building up the military. The input (x) requires painstaking research, funding, and training. But the output (y) is peace. The world’s strongest military is a badge of honor few countries have ever adorned. It offers us world peace and prosperity through strength.
Liberals are the opposite. They get all their gratification from the input (x) and endure the output (y). For instance, the abhorrent idea of abolishing the police, the input (x) of liberating people, from what they falsely perceive to be an overbearing racist police department makes them feel like heroes. They proudly chant their slogans with emotional conviction after having defeated a figment of their imagination. However, the output (y) of living in a community without police is horrible. Criminals feed off this weakness and things quickly devolve into mayhem.
This is a theme throughout the left / right political divide. Whether it be welfare, justice reform, or walls. Liberals are great at tearing things down, and conservatives are great at building things up. Sometimes it is a bad build like a system that does not allow women the right to vote. Both sides have their usefulness.
Today’s liberals are focused on tearing down the police force, but instead of destroying it, we should build it up because we cannot live a civilized life without it. People need to accept that our police force will never be perfect because it is composed of humans and we are inherently imperfect. The only solution to perfection would be a robot police force that is programmed to act judiciously. Until then, we must force these out of control clusters to calm down and be reasonable.
The people that surround us in our families and communities have subconscious control over our political decisions. They can trick us into believing the most illogical things. It is this fabric where the partisan mind lives. People spread lies so fast they solidify and become false truths. The actual truth foils this plan, therefore partisans condemn it as hate speech.
When a fact exists, that destroys my point of view: I must either contend with that fact, find someone who can or surrender my point of view. There is no room for anger or spite of things presented as facts. Living in a toxic bubble that bends the truth and ignores key details of reality is counterproductive to our forward progression.
In this book, I will take a stand for Donald Trump. I leave it to my contemporaries to counter my viewpoint. Perhaps they can offer a reasonable alternative to which I will rebut. Thus, the conversation continues. I would never call for the silencing of any opposition, and we should universally shame anyone who does.
Debates are a necessary part of our political discourse, they allow us to explore each candidate. We must begin with an open mind so we can pay close attention to integrity, confidence, honesty, and direction. Integrity is important in any human interaction. Will you do what you say you are going to do? When the journey becomes difficult, will you quit? Have you flip-flopped? Why?
The facts I present here will have little effect on the far-left and far-right. Once a person becomes deeply partisan, they lose objectivity. They are convinced of an egregious guilt and seal their thoughts with anger. Many partisans have convinced themselves that Trump is an updated version of Hitler. To eliminate this mass hysteria would require months of counseling, a deprogramming of sorts. The partisan hacks know this and work tirelessly to reprogram people. Hijacking their minds to commit evil acts. It has already begun with senseless destruction of property, attacking people, and even murder.
While I support Trump it is not a blind allegiance; it is measured and practical because of his platform. As a mathematician, I will explain it this way: I focus on his results, the output (y). Think of both candidates as the input variables (x), the White House represents the function (f(x)), and what we gain from it all is the output (y). Many partisans will focus on Trump being an egregious x-variable, but the actual effect of having Trump as president (y) is a net positive.
I have invoked the mathematical function (f(x)) to give us a deeper understanding of my political philosophy. The function (f(x)) can be thought of as a machine which takes an input (x) and does something to it to produce and output (y). A simple diagram of this: (x) ---> (f(x)) ----> (y). The x-variable (x) goes into the machine (f(x)) and produces the output (y). Think about making a smoothie, it starts with some fruit (x) which is put into the blender (f(x)) and outcomes a smoothie (y).
The purpose of looking at the x-variable is to predict the y-variable. Other than that, the x is useless. People that hate Trump are always focusing on his x-value using it to divide us. They speak of how he is unpresidential, racist, or misogynistic, and therefore his output (y) as president should be racist and misogynistic. But it is not, and they hate him all the more for it. He insults their pride and makes them look like liars. They become angrier by the day because of his positive achievements. This leads to Trump derangement syndrome or a broken function, which we can symbolize as the empty set Ø .
The elite establishment hates him because he goes against their interest. They will deny this because to admit it is to confess their interest, which counters our interest. The truth is Trump’s output (y) aligns with most Americans, thus the media must ignore or distort it. They footnote all his victories with a negative twist. They can never just give him credit when he deserves it. Nancy Pelosi called his Middle East Peace deal a “distraction.” He will probably not win the Nobel Peace Prize, despite Barack Obama winning one just for being elected.
His vision will lead to freedom and prosperity. If one could prove otherwise, then I would change course. Not being able to say the same proves partisanship. I would be a socialist if you could prove that socialism leads to a brighter future. However, it does not. It only works in a university laboratory.
Socialism comes from focusing on the input: helping the underprivileged (x), and ignoring the output: economic collapse (y). Ironically socialism creates more of the thing it was intended to stop: suffering. As it happens, turning an imperfect world upside-down to create perfect outcomes has dramatically negative consequences. Seems like we forget this from time to time.
The greatest truth of all is that we as a society must find a balance in our politics. Too much power by either the left or right and we lose freedom. Politics is like an amplifier’s equalizer; we must fine-tune the settings; too far to one side and we go out of tune. After listening to both sides, I believe we need more conservatives to counter the radical partisan agenda on the left.
I write independently, free from outside restraints as I have no connections to any political circles. I do not care who I offend, my only mission is to find the truth. In, Trump v. Biden it is Trump by a landslide. I will prove this unequivocally.
Preface
This book was born out of my curiosity for the 2020 election. It has been a year like no other and we are heading into a November choice like no other. Two candidates pulling us in opposite directions. One, guided by the constitutional principles of our republic, will elevate us to new heights of freedom. The other, titled by an obnoxious left-wing, will pull us down into tyranny. We need to pay attention now more than ever, especially considering the level of anarchy burning through our city streets. What are the objective facts about each candidate, and what are the consequences of choosing one over the other?
As an independent mathematician, I will offer a unique perspective to prove my calculations. I have simplified the logical equations down to 10 rigorous arguments for and against each candidate. Focusing heavily on facts, my conclusions will lead to an amalgamation of intriguing information. Even if we do not agree on everything, surely we can agree that being informed is vital to our democracy. Particularly before walking into a voting booth or digging through an apartment box full of ballots.
The left is far too closed-minded to ever read this, paralyzed by their religious-like-political belief system. When confronted with truth they react irrationally by branding outside ideas as racist; because to contemplate contrary evidence could require them to admit fault and thus surrender power. The only thing they truly desire. It is their greatest ruination and will plunge our nation into despotic disarray if we do not resist. These forces are nothing new; they are as old as time and as “well-intended” as ever. Today’s fascist fighters are yesterday’s Nazis. They are trying to create a world without freedom, equality, or law and order. The fire has already begun in the Northwest and will continue to spread if we do not extinguish it with logic.

Chapter 1: The Art of Trump
Personal History
Donald John Trump was born in Queens, New York, and would go on to become our 45th president. He grew up in a competitive American family. His desire for success has been the driving narrative of his life, and winning creates bitter rivals and sore losers. Trump’s wake is filled with them. They go on for hours with their emotional grievances and fact-less diatribes. His niece wrote an entire book proving she is a bitter person.
Judging from the success of his children, Trump appears to be a great father. He does not drink or do drugs. He is sober and engaged politically. Perhaps another reason liberals hate him. He is actively involved in countering their narratives. Listening to him speak, we get the sense that he is intelligent with a balanced IQ and EQ. He is not a demented person with a psychological disorder, as the “Goldwater Rule” violating armchair-psychologist would have us believe.
After taking over the family business in 1971, Trump would greatly expand it to achieve a personal wealth of $2 to $10 billion, depending on who you ask. The basic facts cannot even be agreed upon because he has made the left so irrational. We live in a time when cold hard facts cannot overcome illogical irate feelings. The media is obsessed with gotcha moments. Tallying his lie total to be 20,000 at last count.
Within those 20,000 lies, which one is the worst? And what was the consequence of it? Countless articles speak of lies, but there is no mention of an egregious one that caused harm. Trump uses hyperbolic predictions to make political points. He simplifies things so that the American people can easily understand it. Many of these things are not lies but more of political opinions.
In particular, Trump spoke of Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders wanting to abolish the police. Neither man has been on record for defunding the police. However, they both speak of changing and reforming the police.
In particular, Biden has flip-flop-flipped on this important issue. To begin, he wrote an op-ed in 2002 calling for more police. This did not sit well with his 2020 base so in an interview he agreed to “divert” funding from police. Divert is doublespeak for defund, and then his campaign put out a statement saying he does not support defunding the police. Which one is it? I know the Joe Biden of old is a law and order guy but his campaign knows this will not play well for his “anything but Trump” supporters.
Many of his supporters have outright called for dismantling the police and abolishing the prison system. A horrible idea that would create chaos. Biden and Sanders are both to weak to push back on the far-left over anything. In fact, Biden's choice of Kamala Harris provides further evidence for Trump's argument. She uses the phrase “reimaging policing,” which centers around reducing the number of police and therefore is a defunding of the police. This term is a smokescreen that creates confusion. The far-left thinks they are getting defunding, and the center-right thinks they are getting reforms. Thus, a Biden/Harris ticket is a vote for defunding.
There is a simple truth here that supporting Biden is tantamount to defunding the police, not supporting it, or changing it so much that it will be abolished. Why? Because Biden will have limited control for a limited time over his administration. The people that surround him and support Democrats, in general, are intentionally antagonistic to the police and other federal agencies such as ICE. The people he would appoint to the justice department would systematically change it in such a way as to essentially abolish it. He would be helpless to stop it, and therefore Trump’s point is valid while the letter of his words might not be completely accurate. To explain all the nuance behind it requires a book. In a short tweet, he can lump Harris/Biden with antagonizing, defunding, distorting, or abolishing police agencies, which is what will happen under their administration.
It is reasonable to assume that Democrats will cave-in to the political pressures of the left and destroy our justice system, which is unfeasible considering they do not have a cohesive message on how to replace it. Chanting “no justice no peace” does not spontaneously produce the perfect justice system. Some have called for using unarmed social workers in extraordinarily dangerous domestic disputes. After a few of these people get caught in the crossfire, there will be a call to arm them.
What is more, when traveling to dire events they would need to speed through intersections. Thus, we could equip their cars with lights to warn other drivers. We could make the lights blue and red so that they stand out. They would need uniforms so that civilians could distinguish them from suspects. They would also need to be able to detain people with handcuffs, and put them in the back of cars to take them to secure holding places. One of these suspects might violently resist detainment and be killed. Then we must take to the streets and burn everything to the ground. After starting all over again, what have we done but drive around in a circle to please an angry mob?
Alternatively, others have called for outright anarchy. They want to live in a movie like The Purge. Where people will be hunted like animals for their wealth. They have already tried this in Seattle with CHOP. It was a complete disaster. We need law and order to function as a civilized society. Mob rule is a very dangerous thing, the history books are full of their atrocities.
When criminals are shown kindness, they repay it by wreaking havoc on our city streets. Everyday Americans will be the victims of an uptick in violence. Millions of people that were unaware of the importance of politics. What are these politicians really saying? Trump eats away at the covert narrative running beneath the stream of the left. They are antagonistic to the systems of justice such as the police and prisons. They do not believe in punishing or spanking. They reject the saying, “spare the rod, spoil the child,” and consequently, we have a plethora of undisciplined criminals running around.
They constantly speak of how America has the most prisoners in the world per capita, never speaking of the fact that many other countries simply execute people without countless appeals and years on death row. Our prison population is about 2.3 million in a country of 330 million. That is about 0.7%. This is not an astronomical number, especially when we consider that about 1-2% of almost any population will break the law for any number of reasons without fear of consequence. If you add the fear of consequence in a strict society, we can reduce that number, but we end up trampling freedoms. We must find a balance in this equation. One where we are not unduly punishing people but also not showing weakness to criminals. Removing the fear of consequence could increase the number of criminals. The remaining people have good character and would only break laws if social norms forced them to.
America’s Advocate
On the world stage, Trump is a great advocate for America. He is an excellent deal-maker, understanding how to use flattery and leverage in negotiations. He plays the game of world politics by being positive and thinking big. However, he also anticipates worst-case scenarios and reserves the power to walk away from deals.
He understands the mathematical probability of things falling apart, so he keeps his options open. He does not like negotiating from a position of weakness, therefore, he uses leverage to gain the upper hand. He understands that the press loves a sensational story, so he is just bold enough to pique their interest. Living by the mantra, “bad press is better than no press.” He is a counter-puncher and fights back when mistreated. He is frugal and gets a thrill from winning the game, not making the money. He also delivers on his promises.
He promised to withdraw from the Iran Nuclear Deal and he did. He also withdrew troops from the Middle East changing the tone. He declared the dawn of the new middle east by brokering a peace agreement between Israel and two Arab countries. The deal with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain will include trade, security and tourism. Muslims will be allowed to visit Islamic holy sites in Jerusalem. This could be a lasting legacy for Trump. Finally peace in the Middle East.
Trump could accomplish many great things if the partisan hatred did not slow him down so much. All of his flaws are superficial, there is nothing in his personality that is harmful to us as a nation. The harm comes from a wildly out of control left-wing reaction. They prance around our city streets with their toddler-like temper tantrums targeting our institutions to tear down, angry because they bought into a “Dangerous Donald” narrative.
The Clinton Campaign started this narrative in 2016. The strategy was to paint the opponent too deplorable to vote for. The left then made huge leaps in logic to grow The Dangerous Deplorable Donald Narrative. It was pumped into media outlets and spread through our society like a virus. Random street parrots chant, “Trump is a racist.” They have no facts or logic behind their accusations. What has Trump ever done that is racist? Then they chant, “Russia Russia Russia!” The world was supposed to end because of him, and yet here we are standing strong three quarters through one of the craziest years ever.
The left relies heavily on emotion. The Dangerous Donald and glass ceiling narrative combined to form a fountain of bitterness which we are still witnessing. The mob wants revenge even after three years. They refuse to give Trump a chance to improve our nation. If they could forget the x-variable and focus on his results, we could make great strides around the world.
Trump is not allowed to be successful because of the number of people that would have to “eat crow.” There were so many apocalyptic predictions that mislead us. Trump producing results makes them look like fools. The newspapers portrayed him as a failed businessman with multiple bankruptcies. This is the beginning of a long and misleading narrative about Trump. How does generating a wealth of over 2 billion dollars equate to being a business failure? If that defines failure then what is success? Does it matter? Why are we supposed to care if his wealth is 2 billion or 4 billion? Only partisan hacks wade into these waters.
There are legitimate criticisms to be made about any human as we are all inherently imperfect, but it needs to be legitimate, and not obsessive emotional insanity known as Trump Derangement Syndrome. Feelings are not facts. The left lives in these interconnected webs of propaganda, and if anyone dares question them, they shut down or become emotional and lash out. They want everyone to live in their fact-free bubble. That is why they are antagonistic to the first amendment. Politics has turned into religion for them.
Trump's personal life does not affect him as a leader, or me as a citizen, therefore I will not entertain them. How many wives he has had or women he has slept with or locker room banter he has engaged in makes him human. It does not make him some unclean deplorable incapable of leadership. This idea of a clean, perfect human leading us is a fool’s mirage.
Building things can be a messy endeavor. Even our great forefathers who built the most incredible nation on Earth had flaws. We see the left trampling statues of them, labeling them racist for their poor judgment in regards to slavery. It is true, many of them owned slaves at a time when the entire world was trafficking in slavery. However, they had the vision to implement a system that could eradicate slavery through amendments. Many of them felt uncomfortable with slavery, but to change something that had existed in almost every major civilization in history would take time.
The British sent slaves all around the world. The Aztec Indians used prisoners of war as slaves. Egyptians enslaved the Jews. Even the Bible spoke of how to treat slaves. Our forefathers, in their amazing wisdom, planted the seeds for us to escape from the institution of enslaving each other. However, they did not have the strength to single-handedly end the institution and force a union of all the states.
We must not look down on them for their flaws. Even a great civil rights leader like Martin Luther King Jr. was accused of mistreating women. LGBTQ activist and leftist icon Ellen DeGeneres was accused of mistreating her staff. Bill Clinton mistreated an intern. J.K. Rowling suggested in a tweet that women menstruate, the outrage. We are all imperfect humans, and we should only reserve harsh judgment for those that break the law and hurt others.
So, while you may find flaws in Trump, you can find them in anyone. Even George Washington. The point is not inconsequential things people do on their worst days, but what they do at their best. Our nation was built at a time when kings and queens were thought to be the only way to rule people. George Washington could have used the army to claim himself king and disband the congress, but he did not because he believed in freedom. And he believed in the United States of America. For that, we should stand proudly when our national anthem plays in unison with one another as a group, not defined by our birthplace or skin color but our citizenship and belief in this country.
Two Qualities
There is no hidden agenda or shady modus operandi with Trump. You can read his Twitter feed if you are curious about his position on current events. He rarely stays silent. This is not politics as usual! It is far better than someone waiting for polling data and hiding behind speech writers to perfectly convey the most politically advantageous message. We might not all agree with everything he says, but at least we know where he stands. Communication is an important characteristic of great leadership.
Trump possesses two admirable qualities. First, he tries to do what he says he is going to do. Secondly, he does not back down from a fight. In leadership, it is important to follow through. Trump said he was going to build a wall and despite Democratic opposition and lukewarm Republican support, he built over 200 miles. The left’s resistance is designed to make Trump look bad. If he came out tomorrow in favor of running water, they would be against it.
The Democrats’ only goal is political power, which can be achieved by destroying Trump, and if America burns, it is acceptable collateral damage. They work tirelessly to come up with new ways to defeat his agenda. If Trump was a weak-minded man, he would surrender and give in to the raging mob. This would serve to embolden them and increase their blood lust. The left is a bully that intimidates and controls people through social shaming. The only way to counter a bully is with strength and resolve. Trump possesses both qualities and it leads him to success.
Listening to Tulsi Gabbard speak of the intimidation and coercion placed upon her when she entered Washington DC only reinforces this truth. Republicans can be just as coalesced, so focused on victory that they lose sight of what is best for our nation. These politicians become like plaque on the teeth. Every now and then we need to brush them away. Term limits on these establishment types are a great solution.
Trump never backs down from them. He has a spine, which is rare for Republicans. They usually cave quickly to the deranged hyperbolic media. The initial emotional gut reaction to a situation is
