Maybe this whole thing with Trump running is a Mark Burnett production, some new political reality show concept where only Trump is acting.
Trump for US President?

Well, obviously I don't follow Trump that much. However, after watching him lately to me it looks like he is just a populist. I would say he is not even close to UKIP and/or Frage. Too much talking and not enough details.
Trump is actually starting to grow on me. What's your opinion about the rally speech below? (New Hampshire). I think this type of tone will resonate with a lot of people. I think jokes over and sh-t just got real... interesting. Also, if not Trump then who you like right now?

Trump previewed some of his policy framework, too, which his campaign is in the process of preparing to roll out. He also explained that most of the policy papers from most of the politicians running against him for president will never see the light of day, and explained how things actually get done “in the real world.”
“Over the next number of weeks, once we get out of August, we’ll be talking about taxes and tax policy,” Trump told Breitbart News, also stating:
“When I bought Doral in Miami—which was sought after by everybody, every developer in the country wanted it. I didn’t say, ‘Wow, I’m going to do a ten-point plan on how to buy Doral.’ I went down, and I just fought like hell, and I got it,” Trump said, adding:

We’ll be talking about healthcare policy. We have some really excellent things to come out. I’m already discussing military and plans. With all of that being said, in the real world, you don’t just roll things out. You go out and you negotiate back and forth. It’s a tug of war back and forth with all of these different people you have to get on board. So rolling anything out is a lot different than going in and getting everybody together. It’s called leadership.
Trump compared how he would govern if elected President of the United States to how he’s achieved success in real estate deals.
“When I bought Doral in Miami—which was sought after by everybody, every developer in the country wanted it. I didn’t say, ‘Wow, I’m going to do a ten-point plan on how to buy Doral.’ I went down, and I just fought like hell, and I got it,” Trump said, adding:
I didn’t sit down and say, “Okay, I’ll make a phone call at 7 in the morning, and then I’ll do this, and then I’ll get on a plane.” It doesn’t work that way. I went down and met with the people. I had lunch. I had dinner. I didn’t leave. And I made a great deal. Same thing with Turnberry in Scotland, sold by people in Dubai. I met with them. I worked them. I didn’t do a 14-point plan that says I’m going to make a phone call at 10:30. It doesn’t work that way. So we have to get—as you know, we’ve had no leadership in the country—we have to get everybody on board. For doing that, you need compromise. You need back-and-forth. And it’s not about a plan. It’s about flexibility. You need flexibility. So you could put out a plan, but most of that plan comes back—and you need flexibility to get it done. It can be done beautifully and in harmony and without executive orders all over the place.

Here's his plan. To say it's awesome is an understatement:

Immigration is the #1 issue today. Check the Chinese on this sign near the border. I wonder how many Chinese are entering the US illegally through Mexico.
First of all, sheriff Joe is 83 years old.
Secondly, he instituted a bullshit DUI law in Arizona that allows cops to pull you over and give you a DUI if they even think you've had a drop to drink.
So...fuck that idea.
I love that he's a straight shooter and lays it all out. Do I love everything he's proposing? No. But I do like that he's not a former politician. He knows how to make money, and understands our country.
This is a real poll for NC; someone filed for independent candidacy under the name 'Deez Nuts':

LULz, saw this earlier:
LOL
LOL
He is not a straight shooter. LOL!!!
So you don't agree with everything he's proposing, but you're justifying a vote for him as a good thing because he's never held political office before and... (sorry but I was laughing at this one) he "knows how to make money and understands our country."
Sir, you need to look at this thing called "shit someone did previously" also known as history or a track record, do a lil bit more digging on the topic, and then reformulate an objective opinion over someone that is telling you what you may want to hear in a shitty way and loudly so that you forget to be objective or apply critical thinking in the first place.
Donald Trump is not self made. His father and family are wealthy. They were deep rooted here in NYC and both well known and well respected for building residential housing developments in most of the boroughs of NYC (we have five of those). Manhattan is something young Donald decided to take on as his own bold move project that his entire family objected against but figured, it's the early 80's, our family doesn't fail, how bad could it be? --- Until the crash in 1989... Oh, and let's not forget the casinos and ruthless gentrification real estate deals he forged in NJ to get those casinos built on the cheap. He went and raised aka borrowed a fuckton of cash based on his killer credit (of his family) and also borrowed on their behalf claiming to have piles of cash he was making from his other business ventures (all of which had been subsidized and artificially inflated with more loans). -- So, 1989 crash happens. Trump magically begins to feel the squeeze, cannot make payments because heh, funny enough, it turns out loans are not things that make revenue when you get them, they are things that COST you money... ohhhhhh, well shit! Young Donald claims to not have known that! By God, who the fuck should ever be trusted with anything again if they think it's opposite day in the lending arena? Anyway, so Trump cries a bunch and defaults, tries to keep it quiet, fails hard, gets divorced, borrows more money to try for an extension on his debt obligations and goes the hail mary way of doing business, fakes it till ya makes it! And fails again. Now he's billions of dollars in debt, and apparently having his wife run The Trump Casino empire was not such a smart idea after all, and becomes one of the most prolific and first people in this fine country to FAIL at owning a casino that he also holds a monopoly on, and has more slots and table games than some Vegas casinos at the time... how the fuck can this be?! Can it be.... poor as shit management skills?? Can it be... that he doesn't have a fucking clue on how to do business, run a company at all, do anything except be loud and obnoxious?! Why yes, I believe so. And he proves it by making a reality TV show, that is anything but reality at all, so that he can hopefully trick people into believing he is this amazing business entity and smart.. but fair! Bullshit. It was all bullshit. Every bit of it, bullshit.
The Trump name is a brand. A rent-a-shell licensing entity that doesn't own anything on it's own, but will be a front for it instead. You get the name, the "management", the face, the Donald himself, and the whole network of relations too, so that you too may fake it hard until you make it, or, until you quickly sell the fuck out before it all crashes down.
Extra Credit - Remember Trump University? Take a gander at how that began, his involvement in it and then how it all magically fell apart, along with his claims at the end of it. -- It's interesting because he's tied to the same ibank that I have strong ties with too.
If you really can't find shit or just too lazy to look, go look at his Twitter history of life before this campaign.. and all of the absurd shit that guy would say and stick by. He's a fucking loud, obnoxious, lying fuck. He is not well respected or well liked by serious business people or the investment community, and certainly not by anyone in the real estate development realm of New York City. He's a fucking laughing stock. The only people that seem to take him seriously and believe him are those of the general public that may be ignorant to his historic fails of the past or the overly corrupt cable news media COMMENTARY departments (there's a huge difference between those that report on the news seriously and those that just rip it up and comment on it to look like they are reporting it, but are actually labeled as commentary/entertainment programs).
Politicians = Will propose anything and say anything -- literally ANYTHING to get votes and donations right then and there! Nearly every modern politician is a fledgling narcissist. No one gives a fuck about you or your needs. They aren't pandering to the majority, only to the electoral and parties. They seek approval and air time more so from networks than to you or me. They will fake anything they can to get 2 more mins of face time and name recognition in our 24/7 news commentary spin cycle.
Use critical thinking more often and you will see things for what they really along with people who are full of shit and lying to you. Would you ever trust something a liar tells you? If you do, I have a bridge to sell to you.
