I don't trust him.
He has given thousands of $$ to Dims.
He's been friendly with the Clintons.
I am very wary....
Before deciding to run for office (and it started back in 2011), he was not political. He's just a businessman.
That said, now he's trying to save our country and, after studying the ways to do so, he sees that only conservative ideas can save us.
You think that Trump is the only businessman who donates to politicians, with the knowledge that that money means that they "OWN" the pol ? If so....GROW UP ! And Trump gave tons of money to Reagan and Romney too.
Sure that's "crony capitalism" ( which I despise ), but it's the way the game is played now and has for a long time.
Right or wrong, if you want to play in their arena you have to contribute to buy their influence whether you like it or not. They were simply pawns which he used to get what he wanted for his business. The guy with the most money gets to have the most influence. It’s the way the game is played and he has obviously been very successful at it. Probably all more the reason he is financing his own campaign - he doesn’t want to owe or be beholden to anyone.
That is a laughable argument against Trump. Every successful international businessman does the same thing...donate to any politician who could throw monkey wrenches in his path.
Was Trump a RNC official?
Did trump hold any elected office as a republican?
Was Trump operating in areas controlled by democrats?
Any rational person will understand Trump’s past actions, if he/she has even a slight knowledge of operating a multi Million/Billion dollar business.
Main reason Trump is a multi-Billionaire and most of us are not is because we do not possess the skill to make friends anywhere and everywhere.
As a developer of projects in the 5 - 28 million range over 40 years, And as a person who absolutely despises the Democratic Party, I can tell you that if you want to get your project approved and built as opposed to going broke, you WILL donate to both parties.
I don't trust him.

how in the world do you do construction in ny, especially
manhattan, without giving "thousands of $$ to Dims"?
If these things bother you, then I suggest you look at who is donating to the other candidates. Does Goldman Sachs ring a bell? How about Berkshire? (Warren Buffett). At least Trump isn’t owned by any of these groups. It seems your puritanical test is misplaced.
He has given thousands of $$ to Republicans.
He’s been friendly with the Reagans.
Does that help?
Trump has vowed to throw out illegals. He has a plan to reject Syrian terrorists.
Here’s your tagline: “I’m a bigot...because I don’t want Muslims coming to America...”
Trump is perfectly aligning with your tagline. What more do you want?
Good gosh, OF COURSE Trump has paid-off, uh donated to Democrats. It’s the only way you can get any business done in a Democrat-controlled venue. Payoffs, uh, campaign donations are a given when Democrats run the show. Trump even admitted it in the first debate; he said he donated to everyone in order to grease the skids, and that’s why he personally knows how corrupt the system really is.
One of the great things about Trump is that he can’t be bought by the players who usually buy politicians because he’s self-financing. In fact, Trump can’t be bought be anyone. That’s why the GOPe, the media, the Uniparty, and the rich and powerful oligarchs and plutocrats are terrified of him. Trump will be one of the very few Presidents in our history who hasn’t been bought and paid for.
Look deeper. You might be pleasantly surprised.
