Making billions Manhattan real estate, inventing a television concept and pulling in 25 million viewers every week for 14 seasons, devising a concept of levering celebrity, through being a boxing and wrestling impresario, a tabloid star and a reality TV icon, and then changing party affiliations seven times in 13 years and using social media to end-run the national press, seizing control of one of the great political parties and gaming the electoral system into the White House, he achieved more prior to his inauguration than any of the 43 preceding U.S. presidents except Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Grant, Eisenhower, and possibly Hoover.
He never sought or held a public office or high military command and only the sixth to win the office with fewer votes than his chief opponent. This wasn’t luck; it was ambitious calculation and flawless execution.
Successful American presidents are never Mr. Nice Guy, though it’s a bonus when, like Franklin D. Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan, they act the part. This Ukraine nonsense is a fraudulent desperation shot by the Democrats and will blow up in their faces.

And even those who are not Trump supporters can see that the Democrats are not serious about addressing ANY of the problems they have. They only want to spend their time playing Impeachment Football on our dime.
I was Trump skeptical, and I don’t agree with him on EVERY issue. I’m not an automatic Trumpkin.
I’ve been impressed with him. He’s been a better president than I anticipated.
As we speak, the Dems are plotting...
You’re right. They’re also thinking of JFK/Dallas.
