I've put it out there before, but the primary reason I don't like Trump is I simply don't trust him. The bromides and populist talk run crossways from his prior and current actions. He was a Republican before he was a democrat before he was an independent before he was a Republican. He uses as his signature campaign issue the problem with illegals, yet hires illegals to build a hotel in DC. He attacks Hillary, yet remains close friends with the Clintons. He says he plans to push to repeal Obamacare, yet has backed single-payer and has an admiration for the Canadian system (y'know.. that one with the long waits and rationed care). But one issue on which he HASN'T flipped and flopped like a crappie in a jon boat is property rights. He is a "100% supporter" (HIS words, not mine) of the Kelo decision in Connecticut. His bully-boy treatment of Vera Coking bears out the lack of respect for property rights. Trump's backers are getting that long-sought cathartic moment, hearing him blast away at the border issue and swear up and down he's going to ensure they're all -- including their children born in this country -- deported forthwith. While that all sounds great, he and his backers are ignoring the fact that will require massive legislative and legal hurdles and quite likely will never happen. Words are one thing... history and actions are something quite other. The ONLY way Trump gets my vote is if he's the last one standing between those filthy dems and the presidency. And even then, it'll be with a firm hold on my nostrils. THAT is why I don't like Trump.
what is the real reason you don’t like Trump?

I look at Trump as a man who talks a lot and doesn’t monitor all of his words. This is something I find in a lot of people who talk a lot. I look at what he does and how he does it, rather than what he has said in the past when he was just a rambling man with no political plans. Since when can we believe anything any of them say. Ya’ can’t take any of them at their word... except for maybe a couple. And they are getting their money from someone.. who they will be beholden to?
Trump does NOT support single payer health care plan. I hear people saying he does.. and that is not what he said. He said it seemed to be okay for Canada.. off the cuff remark... but then he went on to describe what he wanted for the US.. all of which would work well. He supports the military and wants to fix the neglect of our veterans. He is the first to suggest taking out isis.. and that has to be done or they will only get worse. They are already in El Paso.. plainly seen there.
When anyone goes to the border and sees the real crisis there.. they see why the border has to be closed. Why hasn’t all of congress gone to that border? They don’t care. I want it closed ... yesterday. They are pouring into the US unstopped... terrorists among them.
Trump is a man of action... and I like that. Too many years have gone by with just trying to do things.. no action. I am a fan of Trey Gowdy. He’s been investigating benghazi for way too long .. with no results. Congress has operated in a pretend mode... while paying homage to their contributors. Trump doesn’t owe the lobbyists.. not yet anyway.
I like Trump’s success.. I like the fact he is wealthy... I like the fact he can fly in with his plane marked with his name.. I like the fact he can move to a stadium to accommodate the people.. I like the fact he has an endless supply of cash to do so.
Everything he is asked, he says he’ll fix.. and when he puts out the actual plans.. he’ll be even more attractive. His promise of jobs will bring in democrats who have given up on obama. Some of what he wants to do, I think I could do.. it isn’t hard.. just do what is right and the people will support you. Do what is honest.. we all are tired of the lying.
I’m watching.. I will not throw Trump out.. he is valuable right now for the turmoil he is bringing about. I don’t discount him because he was a democrat.. and as for trusting him.. do you trust anyone??? I sure don’t.. except for maybe Cruz. I like Carson.. but do not think he can control the office against congress and the media.
I just don’t agree to cast Trump as some have.. because he was making deals and taking care of business when he was in the private sector, being a businessman. He has been successful .. and that appeals to me for our country. He’s big and not afraid, in a world of too many weak men.. feminized men.. who have turned to feelings instead of using their brain.
Trump has given me hope that there are those who can do something to stop the destruction. I’m so angry at those who could ... but would not do a damned thing against this progressive president because it wasn’t affecting their world. They have a fence around them... the White House has a fence surrounding who lives there.. the rest of us can deal with it out here in the wild.
