You have to give Trump credit. Somehow the most egocentric men of our time has bamboozled millions of people into thinking he is doing something selfless for the country and that over the past few years he has “evolved” right on about every policy position important to conservatives. There will be a day when his supporters wake up and understand they have been fooled by the greatest carnival barker of all time. Not sure if it will happen this year on election day or a few months into a Trump presidency, but it will surely happen.
“fooled by the greatest carnival barker of all time”.
He is the second best. The best one sits in the white hut.
He’s running Margaret Sanger’s battle plan.
Give money to church leaders for their endorsements... repeat.
Assume you are a billionaire; you have done it all, and find no more challenge in sealing deals and increasing your fortunes. Your children have all been raised right, are well off, and could do fine on their own merits without your help. You do not have so long left in this world, but you have had to watch an amoral idiot destroy the country you love for eight years. What is left for you to achieve? What is your motivation? Tell me all about Trump’s selfish reasons for wanting the presidency: Money? He could gain far more in business ventures if he cared about that; the only pay off in the presidency is the speaker fees and connections which take years to benefit from, and he already has the connections, and speakers fees are peanuts compared to his current wealth and capital gains. Power? As president he would have considerable power, but in our governmental system his power is severely checked; the executive is limited by the Congress, the Senate, and the Judiciary. He has far more power as a mogul who can operate without so many checks or so much scrutiny. Ego? Being a Television /Movie star brings far more fame, fandom and ego gratification— he’s done that. BTW, Trump is my second choice behind Cruz, but this notion of selfish motives makes no sense to me. So what is this selfish motive and supporting rationale?
You know whom I have been fooled by? The GOP-controlled Congress that passed the Omnibus bill funding everything Obama wanted thru the end of his term. The GOP has controlled the House since 2011 and never used their Constitutional responsibility of using the power of the purse to thwart Obama's agenda. When are GOP voters going to wake up and see that the political class has fooled and manipulated us for the sake of greed and power? When are going to have someone running this country that actually cares about the people and not their corporate paymasters and special interests?
Trump may be the last chance we get to have a Rep in the WH for generations. The Dems are on the cusp of becoming the permanent majority party thanks to mass immigration and minority birthrates. The GOP is a dying party that has lost the popular vote in five out of the last six elections including Obama receiving the two highest vote totals in American history--by far.
A Trump presidency would be an accomplishment in and of itself.
and you know this because you are God, no doubt
It’s amazing how blind they are to this reality.
