To all of you who say Trump is a democrat or gave to democrats please remember this. He’s a real estate developer. When you’re in the big leagues you better give to EVERYONE who may be able to help you down the road.

I hope there still aren’t voters out there, and freepers, who think the business world is one big pile of marsh mellows. If you want to do business with the big boys you got to play the game. That means you have to grease some palms of people you despise. But, you get the buildings built and people put to work.

And one other thing, Trump scratched some backs with a back scratcher that he paid for. The politicians scratch each others’ backs with scratchers that we, the taxpayers, bought.

Your point is well-made, that businesses often promote both sides, to be successful. However, it is Trump's own words and actions that show him to be socially liberal. His donations to such candidates and causes can be excused as the cost of doing business in NYC, but not his words and actions outside of that.

Has he ever once made any statement that was pro-life, or against abortion?
Has he ever once made any statement that was pro-Christian rights, or against gay marriage?
Has he ever once made any statement that was pro-Israel or anti-Palestine?
Has he ever once made a statement that was for limited government powers?
Has he ever once made a statement that was against race-based laws like Affirmative Action?

NO.

That is where Trump is. He is NOT on the political right. He is an exceptional businessman and an opportunist... and yet half here treat him like an improved version of Jefferson. He waves the US flag proudly, and that is the main difference between himself and the modern Democrat party. We used to need more than that to declare someone "right-wing".
