She is a patriot:
Considering all the events happening nationally and internationally, I feel most inclined to say God Bless America. I feel most inclined to say “I Am A Proud American”. Every Time I put on my uniform I thank God for allowing me another opportunity to represent the greatest nation in the world.
Barber put up an “I’m with her” social media post, but apart from that she was silent on the recent election. Although she might identify as a Democrat, she isn’t a hater. Asked about President Trump, she said:
“He wasn’t my choice for president,” confessed Miss USA Deshauna Barber at the Smile Train event on Friday. “But it’s my duty as a soldier to support him, and that’s what I really plan to do. I do hope that he is able to unify the country right now because there’s too much division in my country because of a very intense election period. I want the American people to really give President Trump a chance.”
She told Philstar.com that she is not sure if Trump will make changes in the military. “But I’m sure that if he makes changes in the military, I’m sure they’ll be positive,” she said.
