“I’ve have had the privilege over the past 3 ½ years to get to know our current President a little more as his term has progressed,” Nicklaus said. “I have been very disappointed at what he’s had to put up with from many directions, but with that [said], I have seen a resolve and a determination to do the right thing for our country. He has delivered on his promises. He’s worked for the average person. In my opinion, he has been more diverse than any President I have seen and has tried to help people from all works of life – equally.

“I’m just a guy from Ohio and a Midwestern middle-class family, whose grandfathers both worked on the railroad. They gave their son – my father – the opportunity to pursue his education and his American Dream. I was taught strong family values and worked hard to pursue my own dreams – my own American Dream. I also believe that Donald Trump’s policies will bring the American Dream to many families across the nation, who are still trying to achieve it.”
Trump has been the non-traditional candidate. The Republican businessman defeated former Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election.

Yet, despite no political experience, Trump has had a high enthusiasm from Republicans. Many of his 2020 rallies have had Democrats and Independents in attendance besides the Republicans.
“You might not like the way our President says or tweets some things – and trust me, I have told him that! – but I have learned to look past that and focus on what he’s tried to accomplish,” Nicklaus said. “This is not a personality contest; it’s about patriotism, policies, and the people they impact. His love for America and its citizens, and putting his country first, has come through loud and clear. How he has said it has not been important to me. What has been important are his actions. Now, you have the opportunity to take action.
“I know we are only a few days from Nov. 3 and Election Day, but I am certain many of you have not yet made up your minds. But if we want to continue to have the opportunity to pursue the American Dream, and not evolve into a socialist America and have government run your life, then I strongly recommend your consider Donald J. Trump for another 4 years. I certainly have and have already cast my vote for him!”
