All I know is this: I can think of no other example of a multi-billionaire who, at age 69, rather than enjoying his billions and his family, decided to throw himself into the shark-infested waters of politics. He has subjected himself to the most withering criticism imaginable, when he could have enjoyed himself, enjoyed great popularity and spent whatever quality time (as opposed to time in a wheelchair drooling all over himself) he had left with his family and friends. Why would anyone in these circumstances do this unless they had a deep and abiding love for their country?
I believe that we all owe Donald Trump a very great debt of gratitude. He is the prime example of someone who is willing to give up a lot for the sake of his country and his fellow citizens.
good comment, I forwarded it on to an anti Trumper in St.Paul who lives in Austin half the year. He’s very conservative but claims to hate Trump.
This is true but the Donald didn’t just wake up one morning and think he would run for President. There are interviews going back a ways where he does state he had political ambitions. He also said he supported 0 in 2008 but was deeply disappointed in what happened once he took power and essentially that was the main catalyst along with the state of the country that made him decide to run.
The left simply looks at superficials and thought he was a joke. They felt the same with Reagan as a dumb actor. Reagan had been in politics a long time when he ran in 1980 and his writings show he was a thoughtful person and not how the left perceived him.
I think what is so jarring about President Trump is how different he is compared to the typical career politician. Once you get past that it is easy to like him a lot if you give him a chance.
