Yeah, the only person who has not failed in business is the one who has never tried. Trump's business acumen is unmatched in the current field.
Trump has used bankruptcy at least 4 times to bail his companies out of their responsibilities. He rarely risks his own money, screws over his creditors, yet always does well for himself. He is the ultimate slimy opportunist and people want to put him in the most powerful seat in the free world. Seems to me like that will end well for exactly one person, Trump
I can't quarrel with that for a businessman, but, again, is that what you really want in a president?
For me personally, yes. He's already made the mistakes that led to failure, thus is far less likely to repeat them than someone who has never been there.
As usual, your point is spot on. There are so many factors to weigh in presidential elections. Trump is a self-promoting businessman who would not be my first (or second or third) choice for president. His past business failures, bankruptcies, etc do not disqualify him in my mind, but no I do not think the overall picture fits particularly well with that of a natuon's president.
No. Well, maybe a level of it, but not the psychotic level which Trump possesses. But, there is a healthy level of risk-taking a President needs to have.
Here's that article.
Amen. This is the guy that said that he'd build a wall on the border and force Mexico to pay for it. And his proposal a few years ago to solve the problem of high gas prices was to tell the Saudi's, "Enough. You've had your fun." It's not hard for me to imagine him pushing some equally egotistical idiot world leader to the point where "discussions" turn into a whizzing contest. One where neither of them has the good sense to take a step back and say, "You know, my ego isn't worth where this might end up." Trump is exactly the personality type who might do something that would kill millions (or billions) for no other reason than that he felt personally insulted or didn't get what he wanted. And, after the smoke cleared and the bodies were buried, he'd say, "That loser shouldn't have messed with Trump." Assuming there was anybody left for him to say it to.
I think the man acts in an unpresdiential manner and will flame out, but he is resonating for a reason, in a way in which spineless milk-toast Republicans cannot or refuse to.
Exactly why I liked your comparison to Wallace. He's saying things that others are afraid to...
Neither party is interested in controlling immigration (for different reasons).
No problem. Then they just say, "Sorry. You're right, we were tinkling. But, they are still urinating not just on your back, but in your face too. And, if you don't stand up against their tyranny, they'll end up pooping on your face. Stand up for your rights now before it's too late!"
so, when tyranny shows up, it will be in the form of golden showers and scat play?
