Years ago when he was young he was on Oprah. He said "if I run, I'll win".

He's tough as hell and old-school street-smart. He always looks forward and hindsight is not part of his vocabulary.

Quick little story -- About a couple of months ago, before the election, on a Monday night, I stopped in at my favorite little hole-in-the-wall Tavern on the other side of town to grab a bite to eat and watch the first half of monday night football.

This tavern is owned by two naturalized El Salvadoran brothers. Before the game was on, they had the television on CNN. Trump was being interviewed and I was watching intently. One of the brothers noticed I was focused watching the interview. He came over and stood close to me but on the otherside of the bar. He looked at me and asked if I liked Trump. i told him I did and that I was going to vote for him. I asked him what he thought....and he told me that he and his brother didn't like him at all, because they thought he was prejudicial towards latin people. But he then told me, while they did not like him, they both respected the hell out him because he was the toughest politician they had ever seen.

I LOVE THAT ABOUT HIM.

No more circular conversations, no more answering a question with a question.


We need Trump, we got TRUMP and HE'S OUR PRESIDENT!
People who open their mouths and appear to let random nonsense fall out of it aren't necessarily telling the truth. If people who use complex words are confusing, perhaps one might use a dictionary and learn some of them.

Not sure how bold-face lies became so refreshing. Odd.

I'm so sick of the IVORY TOWER DWELLERS!

He mobilized a nation!


Could have been a community college grad and it wouldn't make any difference to me.... He's the PRESIDENT.
You just said "I'm so sick of smart people!"

Good grief. Become one.

When you speak your mind the first thing that comes out is the unfiltered truth.

that's trump.. then he has to clean it up.

He's not perfect and I can live with that.

Penn State, while a good school, is not exactly where you'd expect a fellow from that kind of money to matriculate.

And, anyone can have a very successful career with a multimillion-dollar loan from daddy and no scruples.

One can speak one's mind politely and still tell the truth.

See? I just did it.
