Trump did what a RE businessman in NYC has to do. Don’t you understand? Politics is a racket, and pols hit up rich guys all the time: donate now or, it is understood, I’ll screw you when you need me and I get a chance.
Some businesses only need to pay off a few pols. Most corporations and larger partnerships (law and accounting firms, for example) handle it by having their leadership donate to whomever they back, but making sure someone in the firm is giving prominently to the other side as well.
Trump’s kind of RE business needed cooperation at all levels of various governments all over the place—everywhere he was building up a large property.
No, Trump’s not perfect. And his faults are probably more evident than those of a lot of pols who spend a lifetime lying to voters and answering to their funders and handlers. All most pols do is spend their energy and hone their skills covering up their true motivation and intentions.
That’s not Trump.

So.. Trump was giving us his true motivations when he expressed support of controversial issues such as “universal health care” and the Kelo decision. Thanks for clearing that up.
