Not me. It seemed like some kind of pointless publicity stunt. Then he gave a speech (his first?) where he decried illegal aliens hopping our borders in very strong terms. I liked it, but it didn't impress me. Then there was the inevitable leftist shrieking. He gave a follow-up speech. I awaited the required apology/walk-back of his comments so common in moments like that. Instead he condemned illegals and leftists supporting them in even stronger terms.
That was when I knew Trump was for-real.
To be honest, I was probably one of the rare people hoping he would run. I was following the birth certificate issue circa 2009-11, and we it not for Trump, we who cared about it would’ve just been ignored and ridiculed.
I heard speculation about a Trump run for many years and thought the idea was absurd but well before he cinched the nomination I knew that he was nothing like I thought and nothing like any other candidate. When I realized that he really did not worry about how his words might offend some people I jumped aboard the Trump train, when many around me were saying that they would vote for Trump but they knew that in the end Hillary would be elected because ALL the women would vote for her I told them I did not believe that. In the end she was so bad as a candidate that, as Trump said, she could not even win a RIGGED election. She even became a senator from New York state by election rigging. She has not one single real accomplishment that I can name other than being a criminal.
