Trump's military school roommate: Our goal was 'to lead America' (much insight)

He doesn't look like Trump. But his personality?

"We are going to have the best product that ever existed," Levine exclaimed Friday while discussing an innovative alternative to the hazardous chemical styrene that his company is developing.

The Trump-ness of the comment isn't surprising. As a teenager in the early 1960s, Levine spent a semester as Trump's roommate at the New York Military Academy, an expensive boarding school along the Hudson River.

And Levine is quick to explain that both his and Trump's attitudes were molded there.

"The school taught you how to be a leader," the lifelong Paterson resident said. "It taught you: Show me a sore loser, and I'll show you a loser."

That's why, Levine said, he fully understands Trump's mindset — a mix of grandiose confidence and bulldogish aggression that has upended the crowded GOP race and helped Trump grab an unexpected lead in the polls.

"I understand it more than you can ever perceive," Levine said. "He is so mentally strong."

I like the cabinet that you describe, but couldn't you possibly find a role in a Trump administration for the Rockettes?

I saw him interviewed the “the View” where he, in no uncertain terms, lusted after his own daughter. He’s apparently done that multiple times in public but I don’t know if that is true. The View thing was creepy.

Yes so true. And isn’t it funny that the MSM has not been able to get a whole string of business people to come out say what a scam artist and horrible person Trump is. No former employees lined up to report his atrocities agains’t them.

Instead of somebody reading a dopey poem at the Inauguration, Trump should have the Rockettes up there on the platform! Followed by the Inaugural Ball in the evening, with the Marine band playing, "[If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere] New York, NY" and "[I did it] My Way."

Except for 1 young man. The media was trying to pass him as an employee of Trump learning later he was not. He was an employee of a restaurant that is renting space in one of Trump building. LOL

Your right no former employees have ever stepped up.

I thought what he said was that she was good looking and if he wasn’t her father he would date her. I’ve said that almost same thing about my son, but all I meant was that he was handsome and personable.

I’m sure they did teach The Constitution during Trump’s years there. That’s why I was surprised at his answers during the unconstitutional jailing of Kim Davis.

Trump says he’s been light on the notion of seeking forgiveness from God for his sins. Yet even Presbyterians recite The Lord’s Prayer at their Communion services. “And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” He should remember that from what I’m sure were then mandatory NYMA chapel services.

I also said, “Other than that, more power to him”, which you seem to have conveniently left out.

Have a good day.
