No one doubts Trump who knows him. Few know him. I don’t doubt him.
We were New Yorkers in the early eighties the crime families ruled construction while Trump was putting up Trump Tower. Renovating the Commodore. Legally. There were BMC ever stories - there would have been- of mistreatment, headlines of the rich sin making shady building deals, strong arming the press. None.
In the military we learned to get comfortable touting our strengths. It wasn’t seen as bragging it was a humility. An honest account of how we could and would contribute to the mission. Most were religious, gving credit to the creator, but acknowledging talent and exechring it
My family from queens had to know how to succeed surrounded by smart ambitious people determined to make their families proud to go out and honestly make a success
While some in my family in the NY Tri state understand or share my view of T, more so than my Texas neighbors, who are so ready to throw in the towel, most NYers have impediments which keep them From at least openly having faith in him- past abortions and the clinging on to democrats to alleviate that horror, to make others accept or justify it, or their religious like affinity for the democrat party going back generations
Then there are the Religious around me, southerners, Texans, devout religious who know Jesus, trust in him, yet cling to the narrative that his workers should be as THEY deem acceptable without seeing god working through the imperfect to get the job done. He worked through executioners, prostitutes, young naive people, shepherds, many ignorant non religious shepherds, tax collectors lowly fisherman yet these people wont think outside their box to imagine God works through everyone. They say t needs a conversion. But they don’t see under their noses art what is happening.
Knowing Trump, is lonely work.

Can’t decide whether to see him as Nebuchadnezzar, or Cyrus.
Pray for him and his family most days, would like to see him accept salvation.

Message garbled. What were you trying to say?
Regards,
I have been literally screaming at people to “Read his books”! Most of his life I had seen Trump rarely because I was too busy to watch Oprra or read “entertainment publications. So when he announced his intension to run for president, the first thing I did was get his book “The Art of the Deal”. It was sort of his life story and I found it very American.
I’m a reader and always look behind the words. I was actually amazed at the man behind the deals and knew he would make a great president. His love of country is real. He is misunderstood and so comes across as narcissistic trying to be understood. He has to get attention in order to do the things he wants to do.
He is religious. Any kid who goes through Comfirmation in a Presbyterian church is not ignorant about the Bible, believe me. His pastor was Norman Vincent Peal (Power of Positive Thinking). He does have a moral compass within, and a weakness toward women (what man doesn’t?). I think the one line in his book in context was his story about some project he was thinking of joining with another builder. The other man laid out his plans and Trump looked them over and found something in it was concerned about it, so he declined to go in with the project. His reason, he said, was, “it would not have been the moral thing to do.”
I’ve never forgotten that line in the context. It defined his character for me. I loved his book and have another one of his that I haven’t read yet.
