Do you visit someone in section 8 for financial advice?
Do you visit someone who can't hold a job and has a crap credit history for advice?
I know that I don't. This isn't about Trump being a good guy. It's about picking someone who might be able to do the job, because they have a history of being able to do the job. Hire the most qualified only makes sense.

Not all but many if not most. Bad breaks happen, but lets face facts. The family in section 8 housing for 10 years, it isn't a bad break.

Weird, right???? Than, talking about unity and still bashing anyone he can. I like it when a president is a role model. I am so sick of this boy/child playing the victim and god at the same time. I hope he resigns and runs along and plays with his big old toys once again. President and commander in chief is not his calling in life. IMO.............................ahh............... ......arg....................when will this nightmare end??????

There was no need to throw a slam at a bunch of people in order to defend his choice.

He merely could have said that he supports his choice of Wilbur Ross because of Wilbur Ross's great business skills and success and that the amount of his wealth should not be used as criticism against him.

It's petty to put down people like that.

Trump at a rally was putting down Mitt Romney and used the fact Romney wasn't as rich as Trump to prove Romney was a nobody. The crowd cheered -- as if anybody of them had money -- lol.

It was meant as an insult to Romney but it definitely implied anybody who isn't as rich as Trump isn't as worthy.......and well -- that puts a whole bunch of us in that group -- lol.

Again -- we get the point -- it was a bad joke but it slamming for the sake of slamming. Trump is that guy who is so insecure that he can't even present a credible defense without a childish rebuke to the opposition.

The fuss that people are making about Trump's statement is based on that -- it's his childish defense of his choices. Are you telling me that he needs to do that to appeal to his voters? Because i don't believe that -- I think most are smarter.

Liberals would rather have people that can't handle money in top economic roles.

Trump:
He spits in the face of his cultists and the lemmings continue to lick his feet for the crumbs he drops.

I agree with this assessment. He's a braggart, and I cannot stand those rallies nor understand the people who go to them. I don't think politicians should be treated like rock stars, and our last two have been. It's a disturbing trend.

All I care about is can he get the job done and will people in congress set aside party and work with him for our benefit. The Democrats have sorely disappointed me, but so have the quaking in their shoes Republicans. And this has been going on for a long time now. I'm sick of the never ending election cycle keeping these congress people from doing anything but posturing with hearings for fear of the next election. They should have term limits if it's going to effect the way they do their jobs.
