Rudy Giuliani: Joe Biden used his son in the most horrible way - as a bag man

As the election impends, I feel an irresistible need to explain why I am going to vote for President Donald Trump. It is considered suicidal for an academic today to be upfront about this. Indeed, it is said that 95 percent of all U.S. academics hold Trump in contempt—and most of the remaining 5 percent, who may agree with me, would never dare to admit it in public.

So why do it? As a former refugee from totalitarian, communist Romania, I feel a moral obligation to speak out and prove that academics don't need to think and act in lockstep.

Like many of my colleagues, I find much of what Trump says and tweets on impulse distasteful, though his prepared speeches can be inspiring. I didn't vote for him in 2016. Though a registered independent, I find myself almost always opposed to the Democratic candidate. I am opposed to many of the things Democrats push for: big-government programs, heavy regulations, higher taxes, weak foreign policy with an over-reliance on ineffective and often corrupt international institutions and, worst of all, raw identity politics.

But I have learned to distinguish between what Trump says and what he does. I support most of his foreign policy positions, including his withdrawals from the Paris climate accord and the Iran nuclear deal. I support most of his deregulation program, his tax reform, his judicial appointments and even his failed attempts to replace Obamacare. I applaud the fact that, unlike previous presidents, he is willing to push hard on China against its trade policies and serial intellectual property theft.
