Think Donald Trump wouldnt do well in office? Think again. Yes, he has a tendency to speak without thinking and hes embarrassed himself on more than a couple of occasions. Plus, we all thought this was just a publicity stunt. However, what we may not realize is that Trump may bring some needed change to the country.
13. Trump gets it. He believes in American exceptionalism, hes committed to education, an he demands high performance. After all, he has been know to fire anyone that doesnt meet his high standards. Talk about efficiency.
12. Trump is planning to build a great, great wall (yestwo greats) on our southern border between the U.S. and Mexico. The best part? Hes planning to have Mexico pay for that wall, and mark his words, I will immediately terminate President Obamas illegal executive order on immigration.
Plus, with less authentic delicious Mexican food here in the U.S., obesity rates will probably drop.
11. No one will be tougher on ISIS than Donald Trump. Mostly because Islamic terrorism is eating up large portions of the Middle East and theyve become rich. They even built a hotel making themselves a direct competitor of Trump Hotel.
10. Trump has a confidence and a self-assured, powerful personality that is perfectly suited for politics. Unlike other politicians who tend to be swayed by lobbyists and special interests, Trump is his own special interest and is unlikely to give that power away to anyone but Trump.
9. Trump is extremely rich, obviously, and his track record for financial success proves that he knows how to build a successful empire. With the U.S. trillions of dollars in debt, this is the sort of leader that might be able to turn it all around.
8. Trumps loyalty will only be to America and Americansnot any political party, special interest group or foreign entity. Like his slogan reads, Make America great again!
7. He has emphasized beliefs in free enterprise and a strong military. He repeatedly highlights his acumen for success, his ability to get things done, and understanding of finances
6. Trump is undeniably a great negotiator, and despite his outrageous public statements in the recent past, he knows how to navigate complex deals and convince a wide variety of industries, businesses, and investors to do what he wants and to work with him to achieve his goals.
5. He loves all raceswell, maybe not Mexicans as he referenced them as criminals, drug dealers, rapists but we digress; As a president who respects most races, he will hopefully alleviate the recent tensions between police officials and the African American community.
4. Trump isnt politically correct. He isnt afraid to say what he thinks, and he can certainly voice an opinion. If he has an issue with you, he will say it to your face. Itd be nice to have a politician in office with that level of transparency.
3. Trump said it himselfhe will single-handedly stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons. We arent entirely sure how, but hes Trump; Anything is possible.
2. With more time and focus in the White House, there would be less time to star in his own show, The Apprentice, hopefully bringing the ongoing series to a halt. It was good for a season or two, but now its just obnoxious.
1. Because he said so.
I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created, I tell you that. Ill bring back our jobs from China, from Japan, from Mexico and from so many places. Ill bring back our money.
Sadly, the American dream is dead. But if I get elected president, I will bring it back bigger and better and stronger than ever before, and we will make America great again.
Man ... our own Bruce Wayne!
I LOVE the idea of Jefferson Sessions as Vice President!!!!!!!!
Well said. I've known, and know, quite a few Mexicans. Lots of different races. And some of them despise or think less of other Mexicans because of their racial makeup. Some Mexicans I know were very proud of their native "indian" heritage, for instance Yaqui Indians, and despised their lighter-skinned brethren controlling the government. I have a Mexican brother-in-law proud of his Spanish heritage (he is light-skinned and considered "white"), and another Mexican brother-in-law who has little Spanish heritage and is darker. They are worlds apart in the way they act and think.
I think Trump does respect Mexicans and knows who he is referencing when he speaks of criminals among them, something the naive MSM won't adequately address.
I think the one thing Trump can do to shore up a lot more support amongst Hispanic Americans is to go on “Sabado Gigante”. They will see he’s not what the Leftist Hispanic Agitators say he is.
Anne Colton for Press Secretary.
No slot for Jeb Bush? Ambasador to Cuba? or Mexico?
No slot for Mitt Romney? Ambasador to Bolivia or Spain?
He should vow to be in Sharknado IV the movie, and to toss the UN out of New York and send them to Europe, like mayme Switzerland and Denmark. How about a Fence between Canada and the USA (don’t need a wall). Send any immigrants who come to the USA to Alaska—Lots of land. Open it for Mining and oil, fishing, and building. lets see how the thin skinned Middle Easterner do in Alaskan winters.
First thing he should do is meet with Putin and resolve the Ukraine/Syrian Problems. And tell the ISIS crew that killing any American will mean a declared war and atomic fire! Next declare war on Mexican Cartels —sink their subs, shoot down their planes, make the border drug free. Then—any city that does not enforce laws should be declared outlaw—invaded, placed under martial law and all elected leaders emprisoned. Any state that doesn’t heed to Drug laws should be call Outlaw and occupied as well. We are a nation of Laws not “feelings”. Next add four more judges to the Supream Court—appoint Conservative Tea Party Judges.
Plus, someone has pointed out that the Mexican society is racist towards its Indian-descended population, favoring the Spanish-descended whites. So they are sending their oppressed underclass criminal element here.
The Cheap Labor Express is crapping their pants.
Theyve spent billions buying politicians and paying for propaganda.
Trump will put them out of business.
They will use whatever they can to stop Trump.
Anne Coulter as press secretary? Brilliant!!! Get out the popcorn!
I once had a kid in a debate team. The school hired a coach who was a skilled Parliamentary debater and was educated at an elite university in the UK, a university where princes and aristocrats go, and where Parliamentary Debate is a big deal. However, our league does Policy Debate. Our school didn't win until the school got a Policy Debate coach from a third-rate U.S. college with a great Policy Debate team. Then we won, won, and won, and even went to Nationals.
Same thing here. Trump is not perfect. In fact, there is no perfect candidate nor perfect conservative. But he has more of the right stuff in the most critcal areas than any one else running, including Cruz, and having a big personality in the days of media-drenched illiteracy is part of it.
Another freeper posted this very useful view of Trump's qualifications a few weeks ago:

Make one Head of the Environmental Protection Agency and the other Secretary of Education. Then abolish both those agencies.
I’m thinking he needs Chuck Norris as his Iran negotiator. The nukes would just turn themselves in.
Fascinating.
I will immediately terminate President Obamas illegal executive order on immigration.
Even if he only did this one thing, he would still be far and away better than everyone else in the field.
1. trump is against illegal immigration, and
2. he said no more Syrian refugees.
3. He said black lives matter is a disgradce
4. And the media and the GOPe hate his guts.
Granted a lot of other stuff matters too. But those are 4 damn good reasons right there.
“teenage pranksters from Bozeman Montana,”
Why Bozeman Montana?
I was being sarcastic and trying to think of a least likely place. If zI said Dearborn Michigan, everyone would think that too predictable.
Well I live near there. One of ten top towns in US!
I see your point though. They’ll be going after Trump for sure.
