Great interview with Tom Barrack on why he's supporting Trump.
Very interesting interview with Tom Barrack from Feb 1.
The Real Donald Trump?
One private equity high roller says he knows a side of Donald Trump that’s rarely seen on the campaign trail.
“I’ve known Donald Trump for almost 30 years. He’s one of the kindest and most humble friends I’ve had,” said Tom Barrack, the founder and executive chairman of private equity and real estate investment firm Colony Capital. “He’s one of the smartest and most astute businessmen I’ve ever known.”
President Trump
“I actually think he can win,” added Barrack. “America’s ready to say ‘Why don’t we approach running America like you would running a business?’ So, whether you like it or don’t like it, what you’re getting is unfiltered and raw from a guy who’s writing his own checks. I think that’s novel.”
“Why don’t we approach running America like you would running a business?’”
It’s SUPPOSED to be run that way anyway! Why isn’t it?
Donald J. Trump Endorsed by Two Great Businessmen, Tom Barrack and Andy Beal
Barrack said, “Donald is one of the smartest and most astute businessmen I have had the pleasure of knowing. His mastery of financial, political and economic intellectual complexity combined with his charm and emotional intelligence when partnering with New York labor unions, governmental regulatory bodies, Wall Street lenders, sophisticated institutional global investors, demanding developers, global media and entertainment companies and hard-working employees, is a dynastic art form. I have invested with Donald in a multitude of transactions over three decades and he has always exceeded my expectations on every measurable metric of excellence. Donald is the only candidate in America who comes to the campaign trail already possessing power, wealth and celebrityship … He does not seek the Presidency to gain those accolades — he has them. He seeks the Presidency to return those great attributes to America from whom he received them. I am happy to give Donald J. Trump my full endorsement to become the next President of the USA.”
Andy Beal of Beal Bank, regarded to as the most successful investor said, “This country is at a crossroads and needs someone who has the strength of character to pursue “outside the box” solutions. I found great opportunity in this country and I want everyone to have access to that same opportunity. I am very concerned that our political system on both sides of the aisle is blocking rather than creating that access to opportunity and is out of touch with the American values that have made America great. Since our inception, our country has always been about creating an environment that fosters opportunity for everyone.”
Beal continued, “Our government has lost sight of that fundamental principle that makes us all Americans. Instead, government keeps growing at the expense of individual opportunity. Since the financial crisis, our government has squandered many trillion of dollars in increased national debt with absolutely nothing to show for it. I don’t agree with everything that anyone says, but I admire people who are willing to say what they are thinking, without regard to the popularity of the statement. Donald Trump is a man who understands the importance of creating opportunity for everyone and who freely speaks his mind. Donald Trump is the man to lead this nation on a new path and to Make America Great Again. I enthusiastically support Donald Trump for President and believe that your support for Donald is essential to put America back on the path to the greatness, that can only be achieved by embracing individual opportunity for everyone.”
Very interesting indeed. I’ve thougth that if Trump gets the nomination we will see people becoming involved in government who are exceptionally smart and accomplished but who no one has ever heard of before, and Mr. Barrack could be one of them.
THANKS TO BOTH OF YOU.
I am a voter, and I approve this article!
The US Constitution, which governs the laws on how this country is run, is a legal document not a business document. The country is supposed to be run as a Constitutional Republic not a business.
“... we will see people becoming involved in government who are exceptionally smart and accomplished but who no one has ever heard of before ...”
That, of course, is exactly what was said prior to the admistrations of both Bill Clinton and 0bama ...
At a recent rally Trump said he would have Phil Ruffin look over a deal like the Iran Deal. “Hey Phil would you please look over this deal?” Imagine that for a second. Guys like that would love it!
Wonder how much Donald owes these folks???
And that is what got us 19+ trillion in debt!
” It’s SUPPOSED to be run that way anyway! Why isn’t it?”
Because we the voters (the bosses) have given free rein to our employees (the politicians) to do as they please.
Check this out and see what you think...

Great two libs as examples and neither with any business skills.
Lets make it go Viral.
Where Trump loses out is on his juvenile tone and lack of seriousness
Some Deal and note it’’s just 1 of the recent slaps in the face of obama and obama still doesn’t say you broke the deal so we are officially out of the deal.
Come on Trump!!!
Why do you say that?? Did you even watch the videos??
Donald wants to pay back for the opportunity America gave him, he’s said that, his kids have said that. Guys like Ruffin, Barrack, Icahn, Beal would love to be a part of that and would do it for free.
