Enjoyable work. Trump is an entertainer, and I am frankly enjoying his brash but usually uninformed antics.
It is unlikely such an individual so ignorant of the issues has ever stood on a presidential stage. The guy did not even know the purpose of the nuc triad in our defense posture. A strategy of at least 50 years.
I don’t care a rip about what he did or did not do with his 300 million inheritance. He is so basic, or crude, common even, that I cannot stop watching his ignorance on display.
Win or lose, the Trumpster is a show and I will not lose sleep over his victory or loss (might even fill my ballot for the clown). I encourage all to watch—more fun that shooting the herds of rats over at the county dump.
Those were facts. Care to discuss? Of course not.
I don’t contest the fact that Trump gave money to Dems, virtually all large corporations do. Do you know why? Hint: It wasn’t because he liked them.
Yes I do. Now, what do you think is more important to him, his country or his businesses? Illegal immigration or his businesses?
His family.
Duty,Honor,Country.
| ...get along, with all sorts of people and opponents, and making deals that don't sacrifice your principles... Further to your nice addition, I found a wonderful Emerson quote that speaks directly to this point! Don't be so tender at making an enemy now and then. Be willing to go to Coventry sometimes, and let the populace bestow on you their coldest contempt. The finished man of the world must eat of every apple once. He must hold his hatreds also at arm's length, and not remember spite. He has neither friends nor enemies, but values men only as channels of power. Ralph Waldo Emerson |

Oh my gosh - thank you so much for this. I have read it several times and I really like the way it is written. As for the "go to coventry" that really stayed with me also. I can see myself repeating it inwardly when I am faced with a difficult stand. Thanks again!
