Who is Donald Trump?
American Thinker ^ | January 13, 2016 | Steve McCann

Posted on 01/13/2016 12:42:08 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

I applauded when Donald Trump jumped into the Republican presidential nominating fray. Here was someone with overwhelming national recognition due to his celebrity status, as well as someone who was politically independent due to his wealth. Someone of that stature could potentially drive a stake through the heart of the Republican establishment and forcefully blunt the folly of political correctness that has inundated American society. During the early stages of his campaign Trump exceeded all expectations in both of these arenas. However,as the novelty has begun to wear thin and his speeches and talking points have become annoyingly repetitive the question must be asked:who is Donald Trump?

.....he has dramatically changed positions on taxes,health care,gun control,labor unions,immigration and abortion over the past 20 years....there is no thinking person,much less a politician,that has not evolved in their approach and positions on various political issues over the years particularly as they get older and circumstances change.

While Trump's vacillations on issues over the years are not overly troubling on the surface,these dramatic evolutions do require a thought provoking examination of his character and who he truly is...

..In a deposition,conducted on December 19-20,2007,the following exchange between Trump and the attorney for the Defendant took place [Trump:I'm worth whatever I feel]:...

Over the years Trump has contributed enormous sums of money to individual Democrats and party campaign committees including the most unethical and partisan Senate Majority Leader in recent history-Harry Reid...[justifying]these contributions as being necessary to essentially buy influence in order to get his real estate projects etc. approved...

..but that does not explain when asked in February of 2014 who were his favorite journalists,he listed such liberal luminaries as: Maureen Dowd,Diane Sawyer,Andrea Peyser,George Stephanopoulis,Bob Scheiffer and Mika Brezinski...in 1999 when he quit the Republican Party saying, "I just believe the Republicans are just too crazy right."?......

The ruling class doesn’t know how to fight, but they sure know how to whine.

Isn’t that the truth.

You wrote that you pictured him lost in his closet.

Few there are, who would not see your implication.

I’m not posting against you - and you know it.

I know how the news is there, and it’s definitely not friendly to Trump. Then you come here, and the vitriol pushed by the Cruz folks is everywhere.

We all have our choices to make in this election. We all have our opinions. But there is a definite fact that this election has been the world vs Trump. Ted is just Carson v2.0 right now, and is the last firewall the GOPe has against him.

Those of us who support Trump want the GOP gone. Ted is part and parcel of that past, and there is no changing that fact. Trump has signed hundreds of thousands of his employees checks on the front, while Ted has only ever signed pay checks on the back that came from our taxes.

Huh?
I mentioned imagining you lost in your closet after pointing out that you are confused in what you are responding to... but your continued fixation is about homos and now a grudge against Christians.

Hey keep your disgusting issue to yourself. Thanks!

Over the last 25 years our Presidents have all been incompetent bozos. Trump couldn’t possible be worse than any one of them. IMHO, Trump would be a great improvement.

You are not making good sense. Especially considering that we are posting on FR with plenty of American news. LoL!

News about Trump in Germany is slim. Sorry to burst the megalomania bubble.

You know, for perspective.

Aww, one almost feels sorry for you making the closet reference, but you made it and now you’re stuck with it.

I’ve seen more Christians go for the homosexual insult here in the last few weeks, than I’ve seen in my entire life from non-Christians.

And then they try to flip it on me and trash me for calling them on it.

Squirm on BF...

I have an iPad around here, somewhere.

And now that you’ve mentioned them, I’m a bit concerned about where it actually *is*.

LOL

You know what, the condescension of you Cruzers is the common denominator to all of you, from Rafael Edward Cruz down to the last one, even on the other side of the world.

I’ll be very glad when he’s done during the SEC states, and then watching all of you whine about it.
