What a moment at Donald Trumpâs Rally today in North Augusta, South Carolina. Trump was interrupted by protesters, but members of the audience took action in the face of the protesters. Trump paused for a short while, then called the two men who took action up to the stage to thank them. He let them both say some words. . . .

I watched a documentary on him and those that know him well said he related more to a Taxi Driver than to the rich and wealthy elite in NYC.

Official Trump-Sucker Thread
If you believe that opposition to a flip flopping Manhattenite pretend-Conservative, makes you a
- Neocon
- # insert here # - bot
- Hitler
- ...any Trump inspired slur
Then this thread is for you
- In 1999, Trump said he had joined the Reform Party because Republicans are âjust too crazyâ right.
- In 2000, he said: âI hate the concept of guns.â
- In 2004: âI identify more as a Democrat.â
- In 2007: Told Wolf Blitzer on CNNâs âThe Situation Roomâ that Hillary Clinton was the most qualified to make a nuclear deal with Iran.
- In 2008: Said he was âimpressedâ with Rep. Nancy Pelosi, and supported the idea of impeaching then President George W. Bush.
- âIâm going to take care of everybody,â Trump said in September 2015 on CBSâ 60 minutes. When asked how he would pay for it, he responded that âthe governmentâs going to take care of it.â
- He thinks affirmative action is okay
- He would fund Planned Parenthood except for abortion. (This is current federal policy, though Trump doesn't seem to know it.)
- He supports a progressive income tax. He does not favor a flat tax.
- He doesn't want to cut Social Security or Medicare.
- He's in favor of a ban on assault weapons.
- He invited Bill and Hillary Clinton to his wedding.
- He doesn't "fully" believe in supply-side economics.
- He hates the Iran deal, but he wouldn't abrogate it after taking office.
Abortion
Then: On "Meet The Press" in 1999, Trump said he was "very pro-choice." "I hate the concept of abortion," he said. "I hate it. I hate everything it stands for. ... but I just believe in choice."Now: In an interview with Bloomberg Politics in January, Trump said, "I'm pro-life and I have been pro-life." He said he believed there should be exceptions in cases of rape, incest or the life of the mother.
Guns
Then: In Trump's 200 book "The America We Deserve," he wrote that he "generally" opposed gun control but supported an assault weapons ban and a longer waiting period to purchase a firearm.Now: At the 2015 NRA-ILA Leadership Forum, Trump said if he became president, "the 2nd Amendment will be totally protected." He told the Web site Ammoland he does "not support expanding background checks" and said current background checks "don't work."
Healthcare
Then:Â In an interview with Larry King in 1999, Trump said he was "very liberal when it comes to health care" and that he believes in "universal healthcare." Now:Â During his announcement, he called Obamacare "a disaster called the big lie" and said the deductibles were so high they were "virtually useless."
Hillary Clinton
Then: Either Trump or his son donated to Clinton in 2002, 2005, 2006 and 2007, he invited her to his 2005 wedding in Florida, where she sat front row, and he's donated at least $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation. He also said in an appearance on the Howard Stern show in the mid-2000s that she was a fantastic senator.Now: On NBC on Wednesday, he called Clinton "the worst secretary of state in the history of our nation" and said she would be "a terrible president."
Party affiliation
Then: Trump changed his party from Republican to Independent Party in 1999, and switched again to Democrat in 2001.Now: Has been a registered Republican since 2009.
There are also some flips which haven't necessarily been from left to right.
Jeb Bush
Then:Â In Trump's 2000 book "The America We Deserve," he called Bush "a good man," "bright, tough and principled," and "exactly the kind of political leader this country needs now and will very much need in the future."Now:Â On Fox News's "On The Record" this week, he called Bush "pathetic" for his support of Common Core, said his immigration views were "baby stuff."

He was raised to work alongside his dads employees and his sons have been raised the same. They have spent summers with grandfather a builder under communist control making less than $5,000 a year.
You know they appreciate America and what they have!
Very few people realize that Trumps grandmother a German immigrant was left a widow with three young children. Fred was 11. Her oldest. Together they flipped houses to put food on table and educate the younger ones
TRULY THE AMERICAN DREAM ON STEROIDS!

Last summer I watched a video of Ivanka explaining how he ran the board room. After winnowing down the last possible selections for final decision she said her father made the final say. If it was correct he could praise those who presented it but if it failed only he would have the guilt of making the wrong choice. In other words the Buck stopped with Him. He took responsibility for bad decisions and gave credits for good ones. She also said he ALWAYS consulted with the top people in the field. Asking for their expertise!
That kiddies is called...LEADERSHIP!

Thanks! That was great! Itâs really simple....We want our country back! Clean house in dc! I pray Mr. Trump is the man for the job!You are very welcome!
To: Don Corleone
I have not been able to find it since. It may have been part of the Apprentice series
It and the 1991 appearance before the congressional hearing on how to fix the economy after the 1986 tax bill that both D houses passed over Reagan’s head. Pretty well cemented me into Trump as a front runner.
I have it in my stash if you would like to see it

WOW!That was powerful.
I'd get ads with those two guys ASAP. I loved the vet turned sheriff deputy's comment
"Without Trump, we would not have a voice"
Four more days for South Carolina. Keep it up, don't let up. I want to see just like in New Hampshire, the final tally to be beat the final poll numbers.

I had to miss today’s Rally. Thx for that small slice. It was very moving, and I love how Trump is always willing to move out of the spotlight to acknowledge folks like those two guys.
