I never cared for politics, it was boring- you never knew what was really going on and nor did I really understand any fit.
Enter Trump- what a guy! Everyday is a new sitcom. You have to hand it to the guy, he is an entertainer. That's basically the only positive thing I can say for the man.
I have put a lot of research into Trump to try to understand how he became the president. I have watched documentaries, read books, articles, timelines, and I watch both Fox news, and CNN everyday. To further escalate my views I also can read the comments of angry Republicans and Democrats fighting it out on Facebook over a meme, a photo, an article- it only has to be a quote, and they are in an uproar. It's another reason why I had to take a hiatus- people disappoint me.
It is a waste of time, landing on deaf ears of both parties except for mine. I want to hear why you love Trump, with actual facts. Prove to me that he is a great president and I will give you an A on your report card. However, no matter how many times I have asked Trump supporters to prove me some facts, they always fall short and really they are skirting around the issue that they love deportation, tricky down economics, segregation, and anarchy. They won't say it, but all of their favorite facts about Donald point to these underlying agendas. The rich get richer and the poor go homeless.
I have never seen so many strangers fight. Either you love him or hate him, and you believe in him like it's your religion. I'm not a religious person, in fact I pride myself on looking at both sides and have a respect to all religions. I have an open mind, and opinion that can be changed, I'm willing to listen and not cut people off that are preaching to the wrong choir. I want to understand WHY these people love Trump. What do they see that I don't? How can they possibly like this man?
He once was a quiet man, that followed in his fathers shadow, gleaning all the information he would need to become a billionaire. He took a chance and opened up Trump Tower in New York City in 1983.... it was his first real deal. New York was in a bad state, it was turning into a wasteland after the 70's. He went to the mayor, and they let him build and pour money into this tower without having to pay tax on it. This would become a cycle for him. No tax. He doesn't like to pay tax. When they cut the ribbon, he wasn't there. Nobody knew who Donald Trump was, he hid in the shadows. Fast forward two more buildings and a few people interviewing him on his success, and his Ego exploded. He loved the attention.
Did you know he wanted to be a movie producer? His favorite actor is Clint Eastwood, and his favorite movie is Citizen Cane. When he does that squinty eye stare, he is acting... just like his role model Clint. It's entertainment. He basically had a mob boss as his first lawyer... and he would threaten people with this lawyer. It made Donald feel untouchable and powerful. So, these are the small things to his personality that not many people know. You either love it or hate it. After all, he is just another guy...
Some claim that he's a sociopath. He has no conscience, and lacks feelings towards people. Is that a good or bad trait when it comes to being the most powerful man in the world? Look at the scientists that invented the atom bomb... they committed suicide after the fact. I'm sure, if it were Donald, he would make a Trump Atom Bomb toy for kids to play with and say what an amazing mushroom cloud it was. How wonderful. In fact, I've never heard him ever say he "made a mistake". "Humble, sensitive, supportive, giving, caring, trustworthy, faithful.... " these words I don't think describe Donald Trump. I think that's what people like about him... he isn't those things. He is a bulldozer, a bully, and he doesn't budge or negotiate. I get it, really I get it.
At the end of the day, what do we the people need from a president?
The only thing I need is peace and a secure economy. So far so good. I will be thrilled if we can make it through four years without a nuclear war. Please Mr. Trump.... just don't push the red button.
