I do realize that everyone from Charles Krauthammer to the recently escaped Mexican drug lord, El Chapo, is “piling on” Donald Trump for his straight-forward remarks. Well, being the contrarian that I am, I am going to come down on the side of Mr. Trump!
Do I like him? No. Never have. I don’t like his swagger, his cockiness, his arrogance. And I certainly don’t care for that mop of comb-over fake hair. But they say the difference between egotism and self-assurance is the ability to produce. By any measure, he Donald Trump Donald Trump
certainly wins that contest, both at home and abroad. True, he was born with a silver spoon, but he and he alone turned it into gold!

How many interviews has Trump done? At least over 50 . How many has Hillary done? 2! Yet Trump is the clown and the amateur and no match for Hillary who is hiding under her mattress.
Trump makes bold assertions and says them over and over and over again with no fear. Even Hillary is afraid of Trump!
People get all offended by the language he used but the left have been doing the same action and using front groups to go after people for years.
