If whatever you imagine is his "true character" has not shown up by now, after 30 or 40 years of publicity, it is not likely to show up any time soon.
Personally, I would far rather a blunt non-politician (but smart executive who knows his stuff) than another socialist who will finish the job that Obama has started.
I wish there were more people like Trump, and fewer career politicians, especially politician lawyers. I want people who look at problems and discuss ways to solve them, not people who impose some ideological non-solution on a problem and stick with it because it supports their ideology.
Perhaps you are right. My point is to keep our eyes open. Again, having run into the Trump personality many times in my life, I know what to look for. You have run into him many times as well, but perhaps didn’t make the connection. Trump spends a fortune on his presentation and can hide himself well. He actually has revealed himself but anyone that is enamored with the presentation doesn’t look too hard. I strongly suggest that we keep our eyes open because the next president will set the course of this nation for the next generation. In the big scheme of things, if he is elected, then there is not anything that we can do about it. However, I can, and should advise the kids on how to protect themselves no matter who is elected. This country has never been in such a precarious position, so I will not trust my future or the kid’s future based on the illusion of the media.
