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

[Toro]

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.

tl;dr

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.

BS.

This comes across very culty.

Let's see pushed legislation and manipulated court rulings that adversely affected women , ignored gays altogether and dismantled the one protective agency they had. Treated all immigrants unfairly. Attempted to ban ALL Muslims , wether they were peaceful or not. Sacrificed two of our allies because of his ego alone. I don't see how any of that would appeal to any sane person, let alone intelligent people like Democrats. These are only a few things I could think of , I ' m sure there are many reasons he will go down in history as the worst president in history. Any good you believe he did was wiped out and then some by all the bad things Perhaps you don't know the story of the man who wanted to be remembered for all the good he did.

Really, I'm tired of the envy.

What kind of idiot are you. Racist ? Homophobic ? Something else or all of the above.

I don't believe anecdotal evidence from magaturds.

Leftwingers are so jealous of this great man, it's unbelievable. My feeling has always been to admire greatness and try to emulate it, rather than envy it.

 

[LeftofLeft]

right of birth. If it wasn't his families wealth he would nowhere.

People’s contempt for Trump inheriting money and taking it to the next level with investments, calculated risks, and surviving failures is nauseating.

The same people incensed over how Trump made money have no problem or concern over Democrat career politicians becoming multimillionaires off the backs of taxpayers.

The money he inherited in the 1970's in today's money is worth about what he is valued at today. In other words, he's lead this life if crime for nothing.

 

[Care4all]

I mean sure. There are negative people who don't think it can be done. I've encountered lots of them.

Funny how I learned the same lesson of working hard, and you will be rewarded.....without him and his constant crooked, dirty deeds....


Pssst, Trump got a half a billion dollars from his father and father's estate. If he had simply put it all in the stock market, he would have more money now, than he does....is what is being reported.

And you claim he worked his way up, like a regular normal ambitious Joe citizen? Laughable!!!

Trump is far from great. He’s a notorious liar for one. He promised to drain the swamp, but instead increased it.

At any rate, he likely is a better choice than the potato in the WH now. But that isn’t saying much.

 

[Mashmont]

Who did he inherit money from in the 1970s? His father died in 1999.

 

[Mac1958]

This comes across very culty.

It's only intensifying. It's getting closer to religious every day.

Democrats had no problem with Trump’s life when he was writing them checks and taking to the press to bash Bush and Cheney. What changed?

That's a cool story, only problem is that it's just a fantasy, as a ghost writer of Art of the Deal will tell you.

There are many fine self-made American businessmen, Trump has never been one of them.

Diseased minds of magaturds supplant utter disgust with envy.

No , it's just more insanity , it exists on both extremes.
