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

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.
I wanted to be like him too....bUT

How many pesos would it be equivalent to the $850,000 Clinton paid to Paula Jones in 1998 - or $1.4 million in today’s dollars?
 
Ah! The redirection play. Whataboutism. Good job and nice dodge. Hellcat?
Just pointing out the lefty’s hypocrisy. Trump paid a willing partner, and Clinton paid off a rape victim, and whom does lefty condemn: the one who engaged in consensual sex.
 
Biden’s an idiot and a scoundrel, too, but at least Trump wasn’t intentionally trying to weaken America. The reason Putin made his move is because he knew Biden indebted us to Russia for oil, as a result of killing the Keystone Pipeline on Day #1 in office.

Putin did not attack while Trump was in office, as he knew the consequences would be swift and harsh. You…..what was it you called us?….oh yeah…DUMB ASSES made both America and the world a much worse place by voting in a demented old man manipulated by the Far-Left Marxists who hate their own nation.
Putin had Trump (Agent Orange) on the payroll sowing division, hatred, and alienating our NATO allies. Now he doesn't and before the weakness created in NATO by Agent Orange wears off, he moved. Simple as that.

Blah, blah, blah. What I want to know is that a photo of you, Vietnam-era? You were adorable.

So, did that ever pan out for you?

Did you rawdog a porn star, while your wife was at home with your baby?

Did you manage to join the club of the worst business men who ever lived, by bankrupting casinos and losing more money than anyone in America over a decade?

Do you brag about grabbing pussies? Make fun of disabled people?

Extort foreign leaders, or incite insurrections?

YOLO!
 
I will say I became disenchanted with Trump when he first divorced and went through his bad period and seemed to be a liberal, as I was and am a practicing Catholic and conservative. But he has come full circle and redeemed himself admirably. But I never doubted his great ability.
Which divorce?

It looks like as good a role model he was for my business career, even I underestimated this man's remarkable ability to be elected twice to the presidency. In two years, he will probably win a third time. There has never been a more beloved US president than this man.

In other words, Mashmont knew how to pick em even then.
 
Check out this thoughtful video of up-and-comer Donald Trump in 1980. Already accomplished a great deal by then.
Then contrast it with cokehead 0bama about the same time
