1988..... here's your proof that he cares for the country. Listen to the whole thing.Trump is the PERFECT guy to do it. Why? Because he cares nothing about pandering to Republican's/Democrats. He'll do whats right for this country and all American's. If that means "throwing his party under the bus" to get something done he will do it. That's the kind of President we need. Some one beholden to no one but the American people. You will not find another politician willing to go against his/her own party for the benefit of the country. They are worried about being re-elected and keeping their donors/lobbyists/special interests happy. Trump needs nothing. He can go back to his life in the private sector and be perfectly fine. His life will be even better actually (financially that is). He gains NOTHING by playing by the "rules" of Washington because he already has everything.
The man can't be bought and that scares the shit out the Washington elites and the rich and powerful. They are fucked under a Trump presidency. They stand to lose billions and a shit ton of influence. The neocons will not be able to drag us into pointless wars anymore and we have a good chance of having a better relationship with Russia. No more beating the cold war drums. The gig is up under Trump.
I don't hate anyone synth. Hate is a strong word. I don't know Mrs. Clinton, but she seems like a very nice woman. I like her in that aspect, but she is not fit to run the country at this time.
Yes, this is the Trump fan's line: he can't be bought, he doesn't need anything, yada yada yada.
Let's take a couple of your points:
If he's so rich (he's not), why did he need to give campaign contributions to get special favors? And since he's now saying that Hillary is all about pay to play, and that's illegal, hasn't Trump committed crimes by giving contributions (pay) to get special favors (play)?
Please point to ANYTHING in Trump's career, dating back to the early 1980s, that indicates that he cares about the country, rather than just caring about enriching himself. Because he says so in a political speech? Please.
You say he can go back to private life and actually be better off financially. After everything that has come out (with much more to come, believe me) who in their right mind would ever go into business with him again? This is a guy whose standard business tactic was to order things (tablecloths for his casinos, etc.) with the Trump logo, then refuse delivery unless the small business owner lowered the price. That's unethical, and put more than one small business owner out of business, and created real hardships for others. So why do you now believe he's going to be a champion for small business? Because he says so in a political speech? Please.
He's already suffering financially because of his campaign: bookings at his hotels have plummeted. Because the types of people who can afford $500+ per night on a hotel room are successful, educated people who see through his bullshit, and know better than to believe his promises.
I can't watch it right now, but if it doesn't include something he's DONE, rather than just him yapping about what he wants to do, it's a waste of time.
I want to know what he's done. Actions, not words. Because we see how much his words mean.
Dude he was in the private sector and you said point to "ANYTHING in Trump's career, dating back to the early 1980s, that indicates that he cares about the country, rather than just caring about enriching himself"
I do it and you change the stipulations and won't watch it. wtf man?
I said I can't watch it - not won't watch it.
I will watch it - just can't do so until later tonight.
(what does being in the private sector have to do with whether he cares about the country or not?)
re: bolded comment
Lawd have mercy. If I wasn't so lazy I'd just post a pic of a face palm here. You need to follow along in your own conversations man
You asked to see something from the 80's that shows he cares for the country, I posted the video which shows he cares about the country to which you said "I want to know what he's done. Actions, not words" to which I said he was "in the private sector" and reiterated you wanted to see something that shows he cares and then you come back and say "what does being in the private sector have to do with whether he cares about the country or not"
WTF DUDE!!?? Pay the fuck attention
