Who is Donald Trump?
American Thinker ^ | January 13, 2016 | Steve McCann

Posted on 01/13/2016 12:42:08 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

I applauded when Donald Trump jumped into the Republican presidential nominating fray. Here was someone with overwhelming national recognition due to his celebrity status, as well as someone who was politically independent due to his wealth. Someone of that stature could potentially drive a stake through the heart of the Republican establishment and forcefully blunt the folly of political correctness that has inundated American society. During the early stages of his campaign Trump exceeded all expectations in both of these arenas. However,as the novelty has begun to wear thin and his speeches and talking points have become annoyingly repetitive the question must be asked:who is Donald Trump?

.....he has dramatically changed positions on taxes,health care,gun control,labor unions,immigration and abortion over the past 20 years....there is no thinking person,much less a politician,that has not evolved in their approach and positions on various political issues over the years particularly as they get older and circumstances change.

While Trump's vacillations on issues over the years are not overly troubling on the surface,these dramatic evolutions do require a thought provoking examination of his character and who he truly is...

..In a deposition,conducted on December 19-20,2007,the following exchange between Trump and the attorney for the Defendant took place [Trump:I'm worth whatever I feel]:...

Over the years Trump has contributed enormous sums of money to individual Democrats and party campaign committees including the most unethical and partisan Senate Majority Leader in recent history-Harry Reid...[justifying]these contributions as being necessary to essentially buy influence in order to get his real estate projects etc. approved...

..but that does not explain when asked in February of 2014 who were his favorite journalists,he listed such liberal luminaries as: Maureen Dowd,Diane Sawyer,Andrea Peyser,George Stephanopoulis,Bob Scheiffer and Mika Brezinski...in 1999 when he quit the Republican Party saying, "I just believe the Republicans are just too crazy right."?......

OMG.

A guy running for president is trash talking another guy running for president.

This unnerving drive to beat one’s opponent is simply unprecedented.

It’s madness, MADNESS, I say.

/good grief

WHY do you feel the need to start the bickering on this forum?
WHO is it that you hate so much?
OR are you so jealous of the Trump women wishing you were one?

It’s multiple choice!

Stuff it Tommy boy.

Send your angst to Phyllis Schafly, tell her she’s a demented senile old crank who has no idea that Trump is a “liar”.

Let us know how that works out for you after she chews you a new arsehole.

And if you’d been paying attention in this thread, you’d also know it was Photoshop job, perpetrated by callow hacks to spread disinformation.

No need to apologize.

How do you like Trump giving accolades to those left-wing writers - advocates for a left-wing agenda?

See, you don’t like facts put in front of you. And when someone does this vetting, you challenge them as being “hateful,” “jealous” and admonish them for creating a climate of “bickering.”

But I feel it is within reason, and that it is my obligation, to point out the truth.

General Francisco Franco is still dead, and so are the campaigns of Rick Perry and Scott Walker.

Enjoy your twofer.

In his dreams, if he's not the mayor of Cologne, perhaps he's an immigration advisor to Herr Merkel......

Saint, Trump filed his financials.

Go through them and take them apart.

Report what you find.

And BTW, Trump was right about 40 Wall Street.

Assessments do not always equal market value.

Fox is owned by Murdoch. Murdoch has directed his network to attack Trump at every turn. (see Megyn Kelly)

Now go suck on your strudel.

Yes, and after switching to be a Republican, ran for governor of California, and then 18 years later, preseident. trump was endorsing a socialist for mayor THREE YEARS AGO. 17 years ago, trump was endorsing single-payer healthcare and a 14.25% wealth confiscation tax.

This is why good Germans say "friends don't let friends use Schnapps as a colonic".

Sorry.

Brave pigeons gave their lives for us in the world wars.

But geeze, his obligatory, self-aggrandizing, over wrought, logic be damned modus operandi is obnoxious.

Now it’s MSN?

The lamestream media has proven it is no friend of Trump and their coverage demonstrates that.

You on the other hand, are their best buddy.
