Donald Trump IS America! Strong, Able, Intelligent, Confident. I Wanted to Be Like Him as a Young Man.

This isn’t like he worked to get that amount. You know the investment it would take anyone else. He got it as free capital. He didn’t have to spend a dime to get it. That goes a long way.

Face it, he’s a sack of garbage.
Yup. You're sounding unintelligent. He had the intelligence to earn the billions. What's the point in denying it?
 
In summer 1989, my wife and I had a nonstop to Seattle. In the five-hour flight, I read The Art of the Deal from cover to cover. This was right at the time I decided to switch careers from teaching to real estate investing. I was 30 years old. That book was so motivational to me, had more sound business tips, and was so inspiring, I couldn't wait to get back home and start. That was 33 years ago, and it was the best decision I ever made.

But the point is, Donald Trump represented the very best of America. He was extremely wealthy by age 34, a self-made billionaire by 40. A brilliant, bold, organized, disciplined, confident swashbuckling kind of guy. I liked that and wanted to be that in my own sphere, though not the showy part. I wasn't going to do anything near as big as buy a landmark NYC hotel, but I was going to do my own little thing here in my mid-sized city.

Fast forward to late 1996. My wife and I were in Romania. Not far removed from Communism. The weather was overcast, bleak, lifeless. So were the people. Walking through the streets of Bucharest, the men were all dressed alike. Drab black pants, black shoes, black overcoat. They walked without energy or purpose it seemed. I was tall energetic, walked fast, wore jeans and white sneakers, and a bright red, white, and blue windbreaker. I didn't realize how I stood out, though I wasn't trying to. People looked at me. In the evening, I walked downtown to the casino. I did pretty well at blackjack. The natives didn't seem to know how to play. Nobody ever split or doubled down. I was having such a good run, people were putting their chips beside mine. Before long, the floor manager summoned me, and said I would have to remove my red, white, and blue jacket because it was too flamboyant for their tastes. Underneath I was wearing an old beat-up gray sweatshirt, but that was fine with them because it was not bright. I apologized and did what they wanted.

When I got back to the house where we were staying, I asked our native guide how I was perceived. I thought perhaps I was disliked. She said, no, the people can tell you are an American and admire that. They admire your energy, and are a bit jealous of you because of all you represent. I think I appeared to them the same way Americans see Donald Trump. Tall, energetic, can-do, very confident, maybe a little brash. Some are jealous. But this is what America is.

But is also extremely generous, giving, and caring. Just like Donald Trump. There are many stories of people Trump has helped financially without it being publicized. The media has scrubbed most of those accounts. But I remember before the big Google purge of 2016, such stories were readily found. America has always come to the aid of people in need. We are strong, confident, and giving. Never has an American leader matched a country's personality better than President Trump.

But the Marxist left doesn't want that. They want us to be like Soviet-bloc people. Bland, weak, tired, ineffectual zombie-like, and controlled. They don't want people to strive and dream and work and achieve. They don't want Donald Trumps.

Trump isn't self made . He inherited $400 million. In 1989 Trump was 43 not 30.

I would never want to be like Trump.

Today most Europeans are wondering how we ever elected a clown like trump. Like US ,they got to know him and it wasn't good

Did you know trump cheated his invalid nephew out of his inheritance. That's bottom of the bowl scum tactics.
 
looking at those Trump ran against for the job, do understand why Republicans voted for him. That and that he was a different breed, a new thing so too speak.
I gave him a chance, and for me he blew it. Any one who divides us and keeps us from working together in the country's best interest is a no go.

I knew all I needed to know about trump back in the 70's. He was already a criminal back then. Now, when faced with actual prison time, he's threatening civil war. Placing himself above the nation he pretends to love.

He went out of his way to convince everyone that he was going to bring everyone together and clean up corruption at every level while in fact doing the exact opposite. He governed and served only the far-right base of his party that did then and continues to worship at his feet. As for corruption, the numerous criminal charges he has faced in recent months tells one everything about that.

I think all conservatives and even a good many Democrats would agree President Trump did a fantastic job. No one has kept more election promises than this great man.

I will admit that Rump tried very hard to keep every promise he made. But the problem was, more than half of his ideas were bonkers. Most of the bonkers ideas were curtailed by his underlings but not all. Just enough got through that Rump was bordering on Benito in the last year of his office. Had Rump behaved himself and listened to his GOOD people instead of the fruitcakes, he would have been listed as a great president and he would have won another 4 standing on his head. Rump just got crazier and crazier until Jan 6 and beyond.
