Trump lives a clean life in that he does not smoke or drink and never has.

Admirable, considering he works in circles that are generally known for hard drinking. He must've withstood a lot of ridicule for abstaining.

I believe he's said he doesn't drink coffee, either. During the last debate I found myself wishing he'd had a sip of coffee, to possibly make his brain work a little faster. He's clearly a very smart guy, but could've been quicker on his feet.

Overall I've got to give Trump a high grade for continuing the fight against the vicious Hillary machine - any of the other potential GOP nominees would've been crushed by now, I'm convinced.

ROCKLOBSTER, lol, nopardons is a riot. I can’t figure out if she is that full of herself, or if she just likes to upset people. I think she’s a joke, always has been, clear back to her days in the coven, always will be.

HIllary’s joke that the statue of liberty is a 4 or a 5 if she ditches the book and torch? That’s sick.

YES!

If he didn't, then all of the news today would be about how Trump HATES Catholics, is scared of Hillary, is LOSING, and probably a lot of other things the MSM would think up. He was damned if he did and damned if he didn't.

A New Yorker from where...Manhattan's UES, UWS, the West Village, Yorkville, the 4 blocks of Gramercy Park, Little Italy,the different sections of Brooklyn , Staten Island, SoHo, Whitestone, Flushing, Upper Brookville, Manhasset, Glen Cove, Schenectady,Buffalo, Rome, Albany, Binghampton, Erie, Elmira, Lock Port, and/or all of the other cities and towns, and villages of the state?

Lots of people now have a "weird", or conglomerate accent, because we, as a people, move around a lot, today.

Accents are a fascinating study.

Yes, Trump IS a good guy.

He has a very distinctive accent; one that I was completely unaware of, before he ran. Oh I had heard him before that, but not constantly, so I guess that I didn't pay all that much attention to before.

I have know people who were born in/grew in several different parts of Queens, but NONE of them sounded like Trump. His accent is a new one for me.

man, you have to much orange county sunshine... "republican libertarian"?

I'm actually a "mainstream conservative libertarian Republican" as stated on my profile page. BTW, in case you're wondering, I'm not supporting Gary Johnson. He's a clown.

maybe you just want the demon in office I guess?

I will never vote for Hillary.

Sorry, but hurtful & mean spirited words, under the guise of humor, do not appeal to this adult. JMHO

Most of the past dinners have been friendly and not acrimonious.

I was born raised in NC, in the Sandhills region. Still got the Southern drawl I’ve had all my life. I’ve been gone since I was 18 and I’m 66 now. I like the way I talk and wouldn’t change it if I could. I get aggravated at Southerners who try and lose their accent because they’re afraid of being called a hick. I live in Washington State now and these folk have no accent whatsoever. Once in a while I run across another Southern transplant and we get to talkin’ about stock car racin’ and BBQ. Got a brother who’s lived in Charleston, SC for 45 years and he’s the only one in his family with a thick Southern accent. His children talk fast and sound more like Yankees than Southerners, but 30 miles from Charleston the accents start sounding more Southern.

I like the way Trump talks. He’s not a snob and he acts like just another one of the hardhats you’d see working on one of his buildings.

How wonderful that you've kept your accent! Stay who you are and be proud proud of it, as you are and have done.

People who make fun of other people's accents/where others are from, are crude, rude, and VERY insecure jerks.

Some people do, some people have a "sensitive ear" and pick up a new accent/bits of another accent, when they move, or even when they just talk to someone who has a different accent.And then there are those ( not actors and actresses, just regular people and also some pols ) who put on different accents on purpose.

I also like Trump because he doesn't "put on airs" and is just a regular/"normal" person and always has been.

It's the social climbers who put on airs and who act like arses....like Hillary.

I sorta think of him as Rocky Balboa. :)

Thank you. Rocky Balboa has been added to the list. :)


This is an ongoing list of historical, popular, and Biblical people, as well as fictional characters and animals, that Donald Trump has been compared favorably to on FR:
