I like Trump. While I am not sure I would vote for him, my brother has met him and said he is actually a nice guy.
He marks a return to old WASP conservatism largely without the racism.
Yes I have seen some of his comments, but even as a black man I have noticed that if you talk about Black, Jewish or Hispanic people in less than reverant manner you get a public hammering.
Talking about illegal immigration and some of its adverse effects does not equal racism.
In truth he is a real traditionalist, if you speak to him personally he wants to go back to an America that makes stuff. A paternalistic view of an America of industry.. (This is what my brother told me btw)
I like him. I don't vote for Presidency (gross), but if I did and was forced to I would vote for him just for the giggles and the fact that I don't give a crap about the future of Earth anyway (just here for a quick ride through the Cosmos!). <3 x 5000 if Omarossa from Celebrity Apprentice was his VP pick!
Sadly, we're probably going to get stuck with an old hag from an American legacy family for a president next. That sh-t should be illegal, but since I don't vote I guess I don't have too much of a say in the matter. Either way, if Trump wins or Hillary wins, i'm sure there will be lots of lolz in how much futher we circle down the drain.
Trump is a strong candidate with great business experience who is addressing concerns other candidates are not comfortable to address.
Trump has the right message at the right time. Whether or not this leads to a President Trump remains to be seen (it's not easy to do when the establishment of both parties hates you [thought this is a sign he's doing something right!]).
People see the country going down the tubes and the current 'leaders' in DC say there's nothing we can do about it.
Trump states the obvious, which is that we're going doing the tubes AND THAT WE'RE THE ONES LEADING OURSELVES DOWN THE TUBES. Remember the disastrous spending bill that was just passed? Well, it wasn't passed by ISIS or Putin; it was passed be elected officials in DC, including Obama. It's not ISIS, Putin, or China that leaves the border wide open and it's also not an external third party that makes the business/tax/regulatory climate here so miserable that any company who is able to is leaving (or making an inversion, as they say in DC) for greener pastures like Ireland.
In stating that the wounds are self-inflicted, Trump is also saying that the damage can be fixed. He may use some hyperbole here and there but his message is simple and there is a lot of truth behind what he's saying with respect to the claim that we're leading ourselves down the wrong path (I tend to use the phrase 'we're committing national suicide.').
It's clear as day. The problem is, people (for some strange reason) have difficulty detaching emotionally from politicians and political parties. This applies to people that aren't overly emotional in general. I've never seen politicians as more than just brokers, third parties, or middle men/women, so detaching from them has not been difficult at all -- no harder than not being emotionally attached to the guy you buy your coffee from.
I listened to part of his presidential announcement speech, and the part happened to be his critics of the current status of the US. Despite his radical conservatism image, he was straight to the point in discussing some of the hot issues that other "smart" politicians would try to avoid. I liked his businessman attitude towards reviving the dying American dream for the millennial generation and believe he would be the one who is capable of doing it. I hope that he would be able to claim the first $1 president title in American history if he is elected and serves Americans on his own money, unlike how the Obamas are spending American tax payers money despite a climbing national debt. What is your favorite candidate as of now?
did you know the Obama family Christmas vacation is costing us 70 million dollars? That wasn't a typo.
I understand his mother-im-law has recently gained around 30 pounds gouging herself on all "free" skrimps she can eat in our White House. That also wasn't a typo.

That's f'ing insane. $70 million? Why so much? This is whats wrong with America. Out of control spending. Inflated prices to trickle down to the vendors courtesy of the tax payers. A total fleece job! As Trump said previously. It cost the government $900,000 to transport a screw from point A to point B. Smh!
As much as I'm for Hillary vs the Donald I find him the most entertaining candidate since Barack Obama and W. I'm a political junkie and I honestly thought two things. First it was gonna be a dynasty race between the Bush and Clinton royal families and two that Trump's mouth would kill his chances. Derogatory remarks about Mexicans, McCain's POW story, telling FOX news to **** themselves, banning a civilization from America and most recently insinuations directed towards Hillary. He might be the anti christ lol. Its going to be a very entertaining and interesting next ten months in this race.

It's now up to 70 million from the date he took office in 2009 to now. The annual trip cost around 10 to 12 million. Hawaii is pretty expensive to begin with.
I'm no longer supporting Trump anymore. I'm not supporting any president that supports the illegal state of Israel. I got nothing against the Israeli people, but Israel needs to go. I don't want to see American tax dollars get wasted for the support of Israel which Trump will support along with NY Kosher oligarchs of the real estate and banking lobbies. Don't get me wrong I love his rhetoric about America first and how to bring jobs back, but he will also be tool by NY kosher lobby. IF you guys want you can call me communist, fascist, socialist, Stalinist, Nazi, anti-Semite, anti-Zionist, Marxist and atheist prick, you guys can be my guess, because I'm not. I'm just tired of candidates being tools for entities that are larger than life and have more money than god. A good thing Trump funds his own campaign but on flip side, he is in bed with folks who push an agenda based on them. I was told from long ago that a politician is a businessman and a businessman is a politician.
