You said: He has taken action and given loads of money to leading liberal Democrats

It’s called greasing the palm. If you were a business man you would know that. It’s the same political corruption he is bringing attention to now. Unfortunately, that is how you have to play that game.


You said: He has hired foriegn workers when could have hired Americans

I am aware of illegal Polish workers hired by a construction contractor years ago. The foreign workers that he has at his resorts (Mar-a-lago etc) are there on H2B visas. Anybody with a seasonal/resort business will tell you many times this is absolutely necessary. And a business could not survive without them. Unfortunately suitable American workers are hard to find. They don’t want to work weekends. For some reason they seem to think cleaning rooms is below them. Many cannot pass the background or drug test. And who wants a waitress with blue hair, face piercings and a neck tattoo.


You said: He has built products overseas when he could have built them in America.

Yes he could have made in America. That would mean building a factory since there are not many existing clothing manufacturers left. And then training workers. And then government regulations. This would all increase the cost of the final product. How many ties would he have to sell to be profitable? How would he compete with imports? Isn’t this one of his main points in running? Jobs jobs jobs!! Make America Great Again!


You said: He has verbally trashed leading Conservatives with lies and innuendo.

I was not aware of him saying anything bad about Gov Palin, Sen Sessions, Phyllis Schlafly, Sheriff Joe, Gov Brewer etc. - please provide links.


You said: He has used the bankruptcy laws to get out of paying billions of dollars in debt.

Unfortunately, sometimes businesses fail. Many Americans have had to file bankruptcy also. It happens.


You said: He has made billions, from the millions he was given as a young man.

And he should be damn proud of that. Why hate him for being successful? Isn’t that the American Dream?


You said: He has avoided the draft.

A MILITARY DOCTOR, not his personal physician, determined he was unfit due to bone spurs. So, you not only hate him because he is successful but also because he has health issues. Seriously??

I realize it makes it easier for you to think I hate Trump, but the truth is I don’t. I think I understand him better than you do.

It’s called greasing the palm.....

Charles and David Koch, Sheldon Adelson and Charles Shwabb don’t give to leading liberal politicians to name a few.

You must be kidding with this right? Who wants to be given room and board and work in an exclusive Palm Beach club during the winter? Ever try running a few adds in Alaska, Minnesota or the Dakotas? Trump is willing to fly people from Romania, Bulgaria and other places in Europe, provide a place for them to live and pay them? And you honestly think Americans wouldn’t do those jobs?

Don’t sugarcoat it, he wants cheap labor. That’s why he’s doing it. He wants to line his pockets with more profits and the law allows it, so he’s taking advantage of it. Don’t pretend otherwise. Why not set the example and help Americans with a good job, learn a new skill, develop contacts with the rich and famous? He already has billions.

I don’t have the motivation to respond to the rest, maybe tomorrow.

Anybody that has to hire or work with people on a daily basis knows how hard it is to find decent people to even show up, let alone do a good job. To say otherwise is just disingenuous.
