I agree. My borther, whom I always thought to be intelligent and reational, thinks Trump is a buffoon. Thanks to Trump his 401Ks and other investments are allowing him to retire early.

He has a cognizant inability to rationalize his feelings about Trump. In order to do so, he will have to admit at some point that he had been woodwinked, and he’ll look at some scape goat for his feelings.

I think just about everyone here in the beginning were not convinced Trump was legit. We were hopeful, and with each day mindful, but there was always this thing in the background that he was a fake.

FOR ME THE CHANGE CAME, WHEN HE DOUBLE DOWNED ABOUT HIS COMMENTS THAT WE NEEDED A WALL AND THAT MEXICO WOULD PAY.

I could see that this guy was speaking the truth, and was doing so without any speech writer.

Secondly, the way he handled the press. He spoke with everyone any place and at any time. His answers were quick and brief, like Truman and Kennedy.

Lastly, when he pulled up at his first stop in his plane, and his refusal to accept pac money and to use his own money to campaign, we knew he was the real deal.

I, unlike many, had never seen Trump in The Apprentice (I don’t watch much tv) and really wasn’t terribly aware of who he is.

When I saw that he had the GUTS to say what I would only think, I knew he had a backbone of steel was not intimidated by political correctness.

I have a neighbour who is moving to North Carolina because he’s been offered a great job (no doubt brought about by Trump’s America), but I can see him, like other fools, mocking the president while he’s packing up his family for a better future....not unlike your brother.

Intelligence and wisdom are two completely different things. I have a BIL who is highly intelligent, but he’s a complete fool. I also have a son who is very intelligent, but, sadly, he has fallen prey to the left and sounds like a fool. Wisdom, on the other hand, is from God. It’s a different kind of smart. Scripture says that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. If someone does not fear God, they may be intelligent, but they’re not wise. I’d much rather be wise.
