I believe Trump supported Reagan


He had a funny way of showing it!!!!

From this article...
http://www.wsj.com/articles/records-show-scant-reagan-trump-ties-1442359829
“One month after Mr. Reagan announced his candidacy on Nov. 13, 1979, Mr. Trump, his parents, sister and brother each made the maximum federal campaign contribution allowed—but not to Mr. Reagan. The Trumps all gave to the re-election campaign of Democratic President Jimmy Carter, according to Federal Election Commission records.”

OWCH!!! Trump donated to Jimmy Carter against Reagan!! Okay, it was a long time ago; 2008 was pretty recent, however, and EV linked an article I'd seen earlier where Trump himself talked about how he supported Obama back then.

I saw another link where Trump chastised Pam Geller for taunting Muslims, and yet another where pretty recently he voiced his support for ethanol subsidies.

And I found links on my own that prove the was the FOLLOWER and Ted Cruz the LEADER in the Syrian Refugee issue -- Trump didn't start to voice hesitation as to accepting them here until AFTER Cruz stated clearly that we should avoid Syrian refugees in the U.S. because of the danger they pose, back on Sept. 9; Trump is on record the very day before as saying we just have to take some of them because it's the humanitarian thing to do!

Seven years of a national TV show promoting himself as a genius has worked its magic on a lot of Trump supporters. He is indeed a brilliant self-promoting businessman and I truly believe a sincere patriot. But Jimmy Carter and Dan Rather were sincere patriots, too.

Man. What is it going to take to wake people up that Trump is just Arnold Schwarzenegger on a national scale?

Donald John Trump was born June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York.

“One month after Mr. Reagan announced his candidacy on Nov. 13, 1979, Mr. Trump was 33 years old.

He's 69 now.


I think I may have voted Democrat when I was 33.
