Analyzing Trump
Smithsonian Cable TV | 2/7/2016 | Self

Posted on 02/07/2016 6:48:15 AM PST by Don Corleone

Watched a program called "Great Planes" on the Smithsonian Channel. It was about the Doanld's Boeing 757 they call the "T-Bird". The program does describe the plane but more importantly it shows you a great deal about the man who owns it. It shows his attention to detail, his drive and I think maybe most of all, the way his employees and those who do work for him respect him. I recommend it as a good way to get to know the 'other side' of The Donald'. It could change your vote.

Here’s one.

People didn’t watch the move, like Reagan, saw “the Gipper” as a nickname people that generally supported him used, and started calling him that too.

Like me. I’ve never seen the movie.

I thought his wife called him “The Donald” and it stuck?

“Le Jerry” stuck too, but it was no less lame. :-)

Idiotic is an adjective, not a noun.

I think it was something started with Ivana whose command of English at the time of their marriage was not 100%, as it is now. It’s just an amusing nickname that now and again pops up.

Egads?

Betty Ford was an alcoholic.

Nancy Reagan used goofy psychics, and was Reagan’s 2nd wife. His daughter posed naked in a porn mag.

George W. had a DUI, and used hard drugs briefly.

And Cruz admitted to smoking pot.

At least he owns his past, and has never tried to hide it. If all involved aren’t making a stink, then what the hell do you want us to do?

Trump’s callous attitude regarding eminent domain is rather disturbing.

Doesn’t change the source of the nickname, which is the difference between the two I am discussing.

Will watch it when I get a chance. Trump reminds me of a businessman I worked for once. Could be generous and compassionate but could rip someone a new @sshole when necessary. Took himself from being a kid from a dirt poor sharecropper’s family to a wealthy businessperson. I admired him a lot even though working for him was often no picnic. Made the highest salary I’ve ever made in my life.

I would be willing to bet a C note that the divorce settlement papers have a clause about any denigrating comments or discussions about donnie would result in termination of monthly allowances.

Your analysis would carry merit if the ex-wives simply kept quiet. Unfortunately for your side the ex-wives praise Trump as a good husband and father.

“With all due respect, I think putting the word the in front of someone’s first name is idiotic”

Agreed! Unless the name is “The Combover!”

Even more reasoning, they are smart to say good things about him and not risk losing $$$$$. You can bet they are tied every which way but loose on the settlements.
