Trump announces White House bid, joins crowded GOP field

[WarToad]

I just find Trump to be quick to anger, quick with sharp words, ego-centric,  not exactly diplomatic in nature. Not so sure that would work out well on the worlds stage as far as any kind of foreign policy.

That being said, I can't think of anyone better suited to attack our national debt and get the budget back under control.

[zorgon]

That is my point... he may not be a very nice guy

but right now we need someone that can fix things 

someone who doesn't need to line his own pockets

someone who has no problem shoving Political Correctness down the toilet where it belongs

[WarToad]

Heh.  Then I'm afraid Mr. Z, we must agree to agree.

At least to some extent, a way to judge a man's character is by taking a look at how he influences/influenced the raising of his children. I have not done a study of this on Trump, but pretty much everything I have heard variously indicates that he was quite strict on them. And apparently, his now adult kids seemingly have matured as adults quite well. Such is not so easily done in any home, but especially hard to do in one of wealth, because of the inevitable "silver spoon" factor.

We do yet have a lot to learn about Don Trump, because what so many of us know about him now is strictly based upon what we have see and heard in/on news reports and tv shows. Much time is left for us to decide who will make the best President for us and for our country!

personally i don't like him for the job..his money makes him tactless and could start more wars than we already have..

BUT the fact that his following is as large as it is...i think is a very good point ..
pointing to the fact that a lot of folk DO agree with him
and who so ever winds up with that job had better pay closer attention to we-the-people
instead of we  the money

He isn't much interested in wars as far as I can tell. It would be great to just stay home and fix things for a few years.

What We the People need is MORE of that money and then we would be happier people. Things were good in America when the American Dream was available for anyone who wanted to work a little. The wife could stay home because one job was enough, you could work 5 days and take vacations...

Ah the good old days when We the People had some spare money 

I don't know if they will let him run, but I think it would be a big difference from the usual political agendas. At least he wouldn't need to vote himself a pay raise

If the past and present Presidents have been or are puppets for the NWO / Globalists / Elites or who ever they maybe as described by the likes of Alex Jones..

Then as long as Donald Trump is NOT influenced by the likes of that... then I really think it would be good for both the USA and Europe to try him.

One issue may be that he could become a bit of a tyrant with the work ethic and may attempt to get more people in work and pay less benefits to those who prefer not to work or may have disabilities to work for some reason.

I don't think hes really one who would want any War.

and one wonders if he maybe able to deal with corruption within the Government..

Some Politicians both in the USA and UK may well need to be put on trial for corruption and could do with exposing.

It would be about time that someone could come along and attempt to alter things for the better..

We do not want Martial Law or many of the evil things that we have become aware about in the last few years to occur with the likes of Obama, Bush or Clinton.

Maybe it's time we tell the world to take a hike and fix our house first

Look at Greece.. we loaned them billions... now look at them  I don't see us getting that back anytime soon.

We need to get back on track at home... we are too divided trying to run the world

[ArMaP]

The possible problem I see with a business man as US president is the lack of interest in the people from most highly successful business men. Yes, he may "fix the house", but at what price for those living there?

Look at Greece.. we loaned them billions... now look at them  I don't see us getting that back anytime soon.

You did?

[space otter]

I don't think he wants war..so much as when he got pissed off at something
instead of pointing and saying  'you're fired'
he would say "FIRE ! "

and since he was deferred during the draft years he has no   REAL   idea of what would then happen
but that's just my opinion..perhaps he just wouldn't care..

[zorgon]

Well many people losing their houses so fixing the house can't be a bad thing


But hey we can always go with another Bush or another Clinton

I am an optimist, but I also know that things can always be worse.

But hey we can always go with another Bush or another Clinton

That's the problem, regardless of who is elected I doubt we will see good changes on a global level.
