“Well, FR has always been an anti-establishment, patriotic kind of place, so it shouldn’t be surprising when you see a large segment of the Freeper community reject a politician who’s been revealed to be a member of the hated establishment.”

It does surprise me when a large segment of FR starts supporting a guy who spent 40 years donating to the very thing everyone on here claims to hate. All because he came out and started throwing around a couple of slogans.

As a big league business mogul, Trump ‘donated’ to politicians and their pet causes, as a condition of doing business. It’s what all power players do, just to keep the wheels rolling.

Don’t want to pay? Well, those road blocks standing in the way of your projects might never be moved. Nice company you’ve got there. Be a shame if some government agency targeted it for special scrutiny.

It’s basically a protection racket and everyone at the top levels of business knows it. So do a great number of voters, which is why we don’t hold it against Trump.
