The full article is worth a read and a click-through to the Forbes website.

Donald Trump is the president we've all been waiting for.

I can see Trump burning the midnight oil looking at numbers for such and such agency.
I can see Hillary asleep at 8 pm confident that everything goes on as usual.

I know more than one lib who readily admits he’d be the better president but is voting HRC entirely on the matter of SCOTUS.

He needs to do an ad on the drama surrounding the refurbishing of Wollman Rink, as well as one on his ability to saw through the bureaucratic logjam that had stalled renovation of the Old Post Office for years.

I spoke to Steve Forbes a few weeks ago and asked him if Trump’s run was an extension of his and Buchanan’s run for pres. He agreed and he wasn’t critical of Trump. I sensed no put down. It was before a book signing.

Has anyone here notice that EVERY last Person that has ever had anything to do with Donald Trump, ALWAYS refers to him as MISTER TRUMP??, Never just Trump like almost ALL other Candidates. Why do I ask?

Because I believe it tells a lot about the character of the Candidate, He absolutely Commands Respect and gives Respect in return. Otherwise there would be Stories across every Newspaper and Media Outlet claiming the opposite. Can anyone say that about any other Candidate????

I am also Guilty, because I have a Great deal of Respect for Mr Trump.

Mr Trump for President!!

I’m voting for Trump because he’s what this country needs RIGHT NOW.

I’m also voting for Trump because I know what a disaster SCOTUS will be after Killary gets done with it. Due to lifetime jobs, we’ll be stuck with an ultraliberal SCOTUS for years. Probably past Killary’s lifetime.

It’s more simple than that. Trump contacted the leading builder in Canada of ice skating rinks. Trump verified this companies track record. Trump poured that one feet of concrete as a base for the rink was because he was told to by this Canadian company. Which then put in their salt water based refrigeration system that freezes the ice reliably. Not just sometimes.

Trumps construction operation laid piping according to how this Canadian company told them to.

Exactly! Trump knows enough to know when to pick people he can trust and delegate authority on the stuff he does not personally know and simply provide a general leadership to get shit done. Funny how when you pick the right people and get out of their way, how much can actually be accomplished.

“mostly Ivana’s dragging him around to charity events in the 70s & 80s where he sat at parties looking bored.”

In his 1990 book, Surviving at the Top, Trump spent a few pages complaining about these sort of social events that Ivana forced him to go to. He hated their “pretentiousness” and found them “mind-numbing.” He actually listed these things as one of the reasons why his marriage collapsed, and he said he preferred to hang around his casino customers than the “phonies” in society because the casino folks were often from “modest backgrounds” and were more “real.”

Yeah. He looked pretty miserable at those events when I used to read ‘high society’ mags in the early 80s. Also, his sister-in-law, Blaine Trump, was a major climber who also dragged him around to that Astor woman’s events.
