This guy will make La Plata County so bigly, amazingly great again! I mean, he is just one of us: his family is just like any church-going family around here; he lives in several houses just like ours; he and his kids had to work hard from the bare-bones start they had; and he never lies or and has taken advantage of the system.

And this county really is a disaster! I mean, look at the lack of good jobs, that river that is a sewer for mine waste, our horrible hospitals, lack of good snow for skiing so far, etc. We need to make La Plata County hugely great again!

I am looking forward to my bigly great tax cuts which will pump our local GDP to over 20 percent. This will also be made possible by getting rid of those pesky environmental regulations.

Hey, I could live without being able to see Smelter Mountain from town. It really is an ugly mountain anyway.

I look forward to all the cuts to useless government programs, like funding for airport improvements and those stupid grazing permits for sheep that cost all of us. Those sheep are really horrible, especially the ewes. And I am tired of the local media that publishes letters that hurt my feelings.

It will be really great and beautiful around here again. I mean, Trump and the four other billionaires he has proposed for cabinet positions so far are not privileged elites that would put their corporate interests above ours. They are all just folks like us, right?

And they care about us, right?

Really?
