"Last night a friend claimed that Donald Trump wouldn’t make a good president; he is brash, he is racist, he is a loudmouth; you know the normal things people learn to recite after being programmed by television news. The one I loved was that, “Trump is arrogant.”
My friend questioned if one man could make “that much difference in the world today.” To my friend's credit, she was respectful enough to let me respond when she asked, “Really, what has Trump done?” I said, “In June of last year, Trump entered the race for president. In just a little over a year, Trump has single handedly defeated the Republican party. He did so thoroughly. In fact, he did so in such a resounding way that the Republican Party now suffers from an identity crisis. He literally dismantled the party. Trump even dismantled and dismissed the brand and value of the Bush family.
Trump has Obama petrified that Trump will dismiss programs that weren’t properly installed using proper law.
Trump has single handedly debunked and disemboweled any value of news media as we knew it—news now suffering from an all-time level of distrust and disrespect.
Trump has leaders from all over the world talking about him, whether good or bad. Trust me, powerful men who have been president before weren’t liked by the global community. I doubt Mikhail Gorbachev liked Reagan when Reagan said, "Tear down that wall."
Trump has expressly disclosed the fraud perpetrated on the American public by Hillary Clinton. He has, quite literally, brought Hillary to her knees—if you believe that nervous tension and disorders offer physical side effects and damage.
Trump has unified the silent majority in a way that should be patently frightening to “liberals.”
As the press accuses Trump of being a house of cards, Trump has proven the press is the real house of cards. He has whipped up the entire establishment into pure panic. Trump has exposed them for who they are and worse, what they are. George Clooney was right when he said Trump draws live news coverage of his podium that he’s not yet approached. Thanks, George, you were perfectly correct.
What we see as headline news today are actually the last bubbles from the ship that is now sunk—meaning the standard news media, as a propaganda machine, has been exposed. They have no more value.
In the same way Trump asked the African-American community this question, I asked my friend, ”At this point, what do you have to lose?” We have mass cop shootings, riots in our streets, ambushed cops, double digit inflation, bombs blowing up in our cities, targeted police, #BLM, a skyrocketing jobless rate, no economic growth, privately owned land being seized by the federal government, the worst racial tension in my lifetime, no God in schools, more abortions than ever, illegal aliens pouring into our country, sick veterans receiving no care, and a debt that doubled in seven years to $19 trillion. Are you really happy with the condition of the current system?
One man has done all of this in one year—one guy, and on his own dime. And with everything I’ve written above, you believe Trump hasn't done anything? You claim that you are afraid of Donald Trump? No wonder we’re in trouble. You can say that Trump is a lousy presidential candidate. That’s your right. Just don’t ever say he’s not effective.
That Megan Kelly, FOX News, CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, Rachel Maddow, the Huffington Post, the New York Times, Raleigh’s News and Observer, the AP, Don Lemon, Jake Tapper, and many more, failed to implement their collectively orchestrated lie on the American people against Trump, is actually a massive testament to Trump. The press colluded pure propaganda to accomplish his demise … and they have collectively failed and miserably.
Here's just one example of how badly America is injured right now. There are high school football players on their knees during the national anthem simply because the press used as propaganda to program those kids to do that very thing. But, these kids are mimicking NFL stars the same way the same kids chooses which brand of football shoe to purchase—they're overtly brain-washed to do that very thing. Now, we have a generation of children who hate America.
America’s problem isn’t that little children are on their knee in collective disrespect of America. Our problem is that America is on her knee from collective disrespect by Americans.
You can disrespect America all you want. But, it’s high-time you respect the silent majority. Because they’re not simply the “silent majority” as you’ve been trained to believe when Hillary calls them “deplorables.” The fact is, they are simply the majority. And now they're no longer silent either. Donald Trump changed all of that, single-handedly and within one year." From Be Forbes."

And by the way, do you think you could pull off building 50-story buildings in NYC?
Excellent! Thanks for posting.
I like what Trump has done and advocates except one thing. I don’t support his intend to war on Iran and supply troops to wipe out ISIS. He is just continuing the wold policeman war mongering of Bush.
THE MOST SPOT ON ESSAY WRITTEN IN MANY MANY YEARS!

I know Trump has ben bashed for closing some of his businesses, but isn’t it a mark of a successful business person to know when to get out?
The Goverment never gets out of unsuccessful projects - they just keep funding them and swirling that money down a rat hole somewhere.
Remember the Spanish American War telephone tax? Only took 100 years to get that stopped.
The thought that the media is willingly going to be their own demise .. well, it’s just amazing.
It couldn’t happen to a nicer group of idiots.
Bookmarked.
PING!!!

President Trump will certainly have a full first week in office.
There are 500 things like that.
Own a house? You take the home mortgage interest deduction? Well you must be an evil person because that money could buy hundreds of starving children in the inner cities tasty soy burgers. For most people, particularly in the early years of their mort, they couldn’t afford their mortgage payment without that deduction. But see, we have to have our heads so far up our ass to simultaneously want to follow and stay within the law as generally law abiding productive citizens even as we know, deep in our hearts, that we are starving young Black ghetto children looking to turn their lives around and overcoming the remnants of slavery we imposed on them, that’s you and I, by taking our freaking mortgage interest deduction.
Own a piece of rental property? You get depreciation on the building. No, correction, you HAVE TO take depreciation as a matter of tax law. Now we are talking very, very evil, because depr is an expense you take off the taxes you owe without even having spent any money to earn it! Oh that is so evil, it’s just like the depletion allowance for oil wells and we all know how freaking evil those oil companies are. You didn’t spend any money into the economy; yet here you are taking money off the amount of your taxes you have to send the IRS. It happens to be the law, you HAVE TO take it. You cannot [legally] decide to altruistically or out of guilt NOT take depr on real property held for rental.
See, the law only applies to those who know how make it seem like the government is the smartest guy in the room and always has your interests at heart. That would be whether you want to build a building or a business or both and maybe employ people; who would then pay taxes and spend their money and flush that into the economy. Oh, oh, oh, but you would of course be taking money away from all your customers, and that really sucks.
This all stems from the macro assumption that government knows better what to do with you and with your money and your life and how you should live it than you do. Not just rednecks clutching their guns and Bibles, it’s every single one of you. Every independent thought or idea you have, the government owns (”you didn’t build that”) and has a claim on the money you might or might not make from it.

“Trump has Obama petrified that Trump will dismiss programs that weren’t properly installed using proper law”
That is exactly correct .. and he’s promised to do it during the first week.
You can bet Obama is going to be throwing fits .. along with all the DemocRATS who supported his misdeeds.
excellent summation.
She’s so hot
