TRUMP [on Larry King Show (2009), referring to the then newly elected communist president]: "Well, I really like him. I think that he's working very hard. He's trying to rebuild our reputation throughout the world. I mean, we really have lost a lot of reputation in the world. The previous administration [GW Bush] was a total disaster, a total catastrophe."
And I'm not saying I agree with everything he's doing. I do agree with what they're doing with the banks. Whether they FUND THEM or NATIONALIZE them, it doesn't matter, but you have to keep the banks going."
“Trump, in 2013, endorsed communist Bill De Blasio for New York City mayor. “
BIG DEAL.
Trump, in 2013, was functioning as a businessman in New York. As he himself has explained, he’s going to do whatever it takes to grease the wheels of the business that he’s running - because that was his JOB - to make money for his business.
Coming out and supporting some loser Republican in a Democratic state would have been a bad business move.
